| Humanity or Mankind? |

| In a SF short story I'm writing I refer to a future government known as the Confederación; it's full name is the Confederación of Mankind. Should it be of Humanity instead? I'm not really caring much about the political correctness of it all, but it was mentioned tome once that "Humanity" just seemed more appropriate. I don't know that I agree. Any thoughts? |
