Choosing the Name of Someone Who Wasn’t Really a Criminal

A people is any large plurality of people considered as a body, which at the time of conception is existing as a distinct and separate entity from its members. Historically, the concept of people was employed to analyze the social groupingings of people, which occurred at different historical periods. For example, at the time of Greek demography, people were categorized as male, female, slave or free, and were further subdivided into classes according to wealth and power. In Ancient Greece, people were also classified on the basis of their culture, tribe, or political affiliation.

Although, in modern times, people are generally understood as an individuals, it was a common practice in ancient times for people to be grouped in hereditary groups. This practice was based on the notion that a person of a certain ethnic group could be expected to resemble his ancestors in physical characteristics. Thus, people were assigned by a group to differentiate themselves from others. The concept of a people has evolved with the evolution of societies and nations.

As opposed to the Greek idea of a peoples, the Ancient Egyptians, as an example, believed that the earth was filled with a variety of human beings, who lived in distinctive ethnic groups. Ancient peoples were usually referred to as peoples, even though they were not necessarily of one race or nationality. Some examples of this type of population are the Latin and Greek peoples, as well as the peoples of India, Mexico, and Central America. One instance of a very organized and successful peoples was the barbarian class which, during the time of Alexander the Great, stretched from the west into the east.

The word peoples, which was derived from the gens, or male gender, and which was used to refer to groups of men who participated in collective activities was used throughout history to classify various groups of people. It is important to note that the use of this term is not attested in any early text, excepting the Book of Ruth. The word peoples can be traced in many ancient writings, including the Sanskrit terminology, which refers to the ancient Indo-European peoples. The word, however, never occurs in the Greek language. When used to classify modern-day peoples, the word people seems to be derived from the Latin word penda, meaning “a man.”

What does this word people imply? In general, people are thought to be groups of people, and sometimes classes of people, or individuals. Groups of people are called communities of people. A community of people, as opposed to a group of people, would be a collection of people who actually live under the same roof and/or share the same social, economic, and/or educational standards. Individual persons, on the other hand, are thought to be single people. This may seem confusing, but it is simple: just because someone is a single person doesn’t mean that they don’t have a social network or share the same interests with others.

In criminal proceedings, names of persons considered criminals are sometimes changed to help lessen the impact of their crime on society at large. If the crime was rather brutal or big, it may be appropriate to eradicate the original name of the person if it can be proved that the crime was committed in the “heat of anger.” For example, if a white-collar criminal was sentenced to thirty years in prison, his original name may have been cut short due to his lack of a good job. Or if the crime was rather minor, his original name could still be used if he proves that his crime did not reflect badly on his race, class, or culture. As you can see, changing a person’s name to clear up crime or legal consequences is a delicate balancing act between respecting a person’s individuality and removing an ethnic group’s name from history.
