Human acts vs acts of man?

Answer 1

This implies one has a standard to judge what is an act worthy of a human and what is not. Interestingly at the Nuremburg trials Goering said the Nazi actions in the Holocaust were not illegal and therefore not bad since they were following laws enacted by the German parliament. He stated that the trial was just the triumph of the victor over the vanquished. The chief prosecutor appealed to a 'higher standard' of right and wrong by which their actions could be condemned as 'crimes against humanity.' This the Nazis should have known yet ignored.

Every person has innately some sense of what it is to be human. This is why inhumane acts are seen as an aberration or departure from this. The Evolutionary theory in its starkness cannot explain this 'social conscience' but it does fit in with the Biblical view that man is made in God's image and so deserves dignity and respect. The fact that man regularly displays his fallen nature, and that this alienation from self can be noticed serves to highlight the reality of a higher ideal which we recognize as humanity.

• but not all human acts are possible to do because of the gravity of the earth.

Answer 2

Acts of man are acts that can be shared with other animals (sleeping, eating, walking, etc.), while Human acts are acts that are proper only to man (cursing, complementing, etc.).

To determine if an act is a human act, it should possess all three components: Knowledge (knowing what you're doing), Freedom (you chose to do it), and Voluntary (no one forced you to do it). If one component is missing, then the act is not a human act.
