:Alternate meaning: People (magazine)In general, the English word people refers to a specific group of humans, or to persons in a general sense.
A people may also be a group of humans which possess a common characteristic, for example nationality, skin colour or a common culture. In the case of nationality, the group might be a nation.
The Christian Bible refers to the people of Moses, which historically were a nation, a religion, and a culture. The individuals were assumed to share values and beliefs and be aware of the fact that they were part of the group. In practice, it was often hard to define such a group precisely, due to its static, historic nature, but because of the intuitive strength of this concept, it was and often still is used as a basis for various arguments trying to promote one issue or another. In the West, a notable example is the German Nazi Party's propaganda against the Jews in the 1930s and 1940s. Today, other groups might use such arguments.
