Thinking Humanity publishes stories about people, history, nature, science and the small acts of kindness that make the world better. Since March 2014 the site has shared articles that try to make readers think a little more, feel a little more and understand one another a little better.
What we write about
Our articles cover human rights and history, inspiring true stories, animals and the natural world, science and health research explained in plain language, art and photography, and thoughtful pieces on everyday life. We care especially about remembering history honestly, so that the mistakes that caused great suffering are not repeated, and about the values that bring people together: dignity, fairness, kindness and freedom.
How we write and check our articles
- Original writing. Every article is written in our own words. When a story, photo or video comes from someone else, we name and link the original creator or publisher.
- Facts first. We check names, dates, numbers and quotes against reliable sources such as official websites, research papers, reputable news organisations and fact-checking sites, and we list our sources at the end of each article.
- Clear about uncertainty. When a viral claim cannot be confirmed, we say so plainly ("reportedly", "unconfirmed") or leave it out.
- Corrections. If you spot a mistake, please email us. We correct errors promptly and update the article.
- No medical or financial advice. Health and money topics are explained for general information only. Please talk to a qualified professional about your own situation.
Our view of history
We believe that every person should read and understand history. The genocides of the Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians, the Holocaust and other crimes against humanity are historical facts, and so is the continuing occupation of northern Cyprus. We write about them with care and respect for the victims.
Our inspiration
The spirit of the site is summed up by the closing speech of Charlie Chaplin’s film The Great Dictator (1940):
“More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.”
Charlie Chaplin, The Great Dictator
