- For other uses of this term, see (disambiguation).
A people is a group of individuals who belong to and function within a particular society. In common usage, the term people may be synonymous with human, or otherwise may carry an exclusive meaning. In general, the word people is a collective noun used to define a specific group of humans. However, when used to refer to a group of humans possessing a common ethnic, cultural or national unitary characteristic or identity, "people" is a singular noun, and as such takes an "s" in the plural; (example: "the English-speaking peoples of the world").
The concept of personhood (who is a person within a society) is the fundamental component of any selective concept of people. A distinction is maintained in philosophy and law between the notions "human being", or "man", and "person". The former refers to the species, while the latter refers to a rational agent (see, for example, John Locke's Essay concerning Human Understanding II 27 and Immanuel Kant's Introduction to the Metaphysic of Morals).

Jean Ruiz and Marc Wouts We study the Kertesz line of the q-state Potts model at (inverse) temperature beta in the presence of an external magnetic field h. This line separates the two regions of the phase diagram according to the existence or not of an infinite cluster in the FortuinKasteleyn representation of the model. I ... [J. Math.

New infinite-dimensional quadruple symmetry groups for the general symplectic gravity model
Ya-Jun Gao The symmetry structures of the general symplectic gravity model are further studied. By using the so-called extended double (ED)-complex function method, the usual RiemannHilbert (RH) problem is extended to an ED-complex formulation. For any fixed non-negative integer n, two pairs of ED RH transform ... [J. Math. Phys. 49, 053519 (2008)] published Wed May 14, 2008.
