About This Quote

In this quote from the film Children of Men, Theo Faron says, "We are one people until you decide we are one person in the churning sea of humanity." In a global community, everyone is a part of the whole. When people begin to lose sight of this fact, they can find themselves losing touch with their own humanity. Instead of being a part of something larger than themselves, they begin to feel isolated and alienated from society at large.
