Nobody is Perfect.

Throughout history there have been various factors that have divided humans. In the Ancient world people were divided by class, wealth, religion and language. In the Medieval era religion was the dominant factor in how people were grouped, the believers and the non-believers. Today however we are grouped and divided by so many factors that it is almost impossible to not fall into at least one discriminated against group. You may find yourself judged because of the colour of your skin, your age, your sexuality, your religion or spiritual beliefs, your career, your gender, your hair colour, your body shape, your geographical location, your language, your dialect, your fashion sense, your political preference, your taste in music, your mental health, your level of education... the list is endless.

When you look back through history, intolerance of those that are different has tainted humanity, and this intolerance has been the catalyst for many horrible, brutal and unjustified actions. One of the most infamous of these incidents was the Holocaust  when one man decided that the perfect human being was white, with blonde hair and blue eyes. Before and since the Holocaust there have been various characteristic's (physically, socially and morally) mentioned for what certain people believe the perfect human being should have.

Science has been used to try to add creditability to some of these claims but so far none of the experiments that have been carried out have proven any of them true. In fact the Human Genome Project that began in 1990 and ran right through to 2001 proved that race could not be identified in our genes. Basically what that means is that genetically there is only one human race and we all fall into that group.

Socrates actually summed it up pretty well, 'the perfect human being is all human beings put together, it is a collective, it is all of us together that make perfection' and until we live in a world were we live with tolerance and respect for others there will not be the perfect human being.
