A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility.

IMRO then had de facto full control of Bulgarian part of Macedonia, whi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
