The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts.

The plural form " people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural f ...
