A "person" is an individual human being, distinguished from animals and other living organisms. Each person has unique characteristics, including physical traits, thoughts, emotions, and experiences. People can belong to various groups based on factors like culture, nationality, and social roles. In society, persons interact with one another and form relationships, communities, and institutions. They have rights and responsibilities, which are often protected by laws. The study of persons encompasses various fields, including psychology, sociology, and anthropology, which explore human behavior, social structures, and cultural practices.
