No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

The Island by Armin Greder

The words of this poem show that all people are the same and everyone should be treated with equal respect. Nobody is alone in this world; everyone is a part of something bigger. Today nobody cares about people out of their families, and some people don't even care about their family. "... Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind..." Everybody is connected some way or the other, even if you don't know it. We are all a part of mankind and none of us deserve to be alone.

In the book The Island isolation is a big theme the people in the book isolated the stranger before they even knew him. They lock him in a Goat pen and said he was not to leave. People make distinctions between us and them by looking at the person and comparing them to themselves or to a group of same people. An example of this is in the book because all of the island people are big, while the stranger is small. The island people compare by comparing themselves to the stranger.

The video “Mankind is no Island” tell us to look after and take care of the poor and homeless and not ignore them. It also shows that no man is ever alone; there should always be someone to help you. "No man is an island entire of it..." No man should be left by themselves. Everyone is being a bystander to all the death from hunger and easily preventable illnesses that is happening in our world and we need to help them. The video says that no man is alone we are all together is we like it or not.
