Basic humanity represents an innate interest in others, growing into care for their well-being and motivating nurturing behavior. In times of extreme adversity, it can drive individuals to sacrifice for others. Balancing the intrinsic desire for autonomy with the need to connect defines human nature. While children generally develop broader expressions of basic humanity, this development can be hindered by prior negative experiences that limit their capacity for connection beyond their primary caregivers. Recognizing the value of others enhances our humane feelings and connections.
