ABSTRACT

Who do we think we are? What is human nature really like? That first question actually embodies several queries, depending where one puts the emphasis. “Who do we think we are?” implies a question of our general identity: what sort of beings are we? “Who do we think we are?” implies a select group that has a special interest in itself. “Who do we think we are?” suggests that we are curious about our own self-constructed image of ourselves, realizing it is more an assumption than a complete picture of whoever we “really” are.
