Human beings as a whole lead evidently different lives compared to those of other animals, considering the fact that a dolphin can be born from some rearrangements of the human genome. Despite this genetic similarity, there are some traits that clearly differentiate the human being from the rest, and this so-called human nature has been one of the favorite topics discussed among people, as the “self” has been one of the most interesting topics ever. time for anyone. Of course, there is no one characteristic that alone defines what it means to be a human being, and there are many that make up human nature, some of which everyone can agree on and others not so much. Some of these characteristics can be observed in the documentary film Obedience, which we will talk about later. Before investigating human nature, we must discuss the exact meaning of human nature so that a more accurate description of it is possible. Human nature refers to shared psychological attributes that are assumed to be shared by all human beings, and each of these attributes raises important questions about humanity, such as the relationship between a person's innate and acquired characteristics, the tension between individuals and society, or the similarities and differences between humans and other animals. One of the most obvious differences between humans and animals is the fact that humans are bipedal. Although there are some animals such as monkeys that can stand, humans are the only ones who spend most of their lives standing. This fact might seem purely apparent and therefore superficial.

The characteristics discussed above constitute human nature, which is a set of unique human characteristics that differentiate us from other animals, and while some characteristics have been formed by humanity's innate properties, such as its biology, there are others that have been shaped by environmental factors. Whether we like it or not, humanity has gone through years and years of development, and the resulting human nature defines what we have become and how we are different from others. Understanding this human nature will help us find the answer to the question “who am I,” the ultimate task of all time for humanity..
