People

People are humans and persons that interact as a society. They have thoughts and emotions. They work, play and originate from Earth, while investigating the options of expanding into space. Philosophy attempts to investigate and reason the nature, behaviour and purpose of people. They often ask themselves where they come from and where are they going, or question the meaning of life. Philosopher Aristotle reasons in Nicomachean Ethics that people seek a highest good, eudaimonia, and their other actions, such as wanting good health, or to recreate and work, lead up to this highest good.

A biography (from the Greek words bios meaning life, and graphein meaning write) is a review of an individual's life. While a biography is usually about a real person, it may also be about a fictional character. As opposed to a profile or curriculum vitae, a biography develops complex insight and highlights different textures of personality including intimate details of experiences. A biography is more than a list of facts like birth, education, work, relationships and death. It also delves into the emotions of experiencing such events.
