What Does to be Mean
Being is a concept with several meanings, of very frequent use, although with a definition that can be somewhat complicated to understand.
In the first place, we can say that ser is a copulative verb : it allows constructing the nominal predication, linking the subject with a predicate. In this case, the term being does not provide semantic meaning, but acts as a nexus. Sometimes being also becomes an abstract verb (with no concrete meaning).
For example: “I would like to be invisible to walk around the meeting room without being seen” , “This cannot be! Tidy up your room right now ” , “ When I grow up I want to be a firefighter ” .
Throughout history there have been numerous famous phrases that have used this verb that concerns us as a fundamental part of them. This would be the case, for example, of the emblematic "to be or not to be, that's the question." It is the first line of one of the most important literary works in all of history: "Hamlet", written by the British William Shakespeare in the year 1600.
In the same way, we cannot ignore that there are different films that use it in their titles. An example is the feature film "To be or not to be", which premiered in 1942 and was directed by Ernst Lubitsch.
Carole Lombard and Jack Benny were the main actors of the production that took as a setting the Second World War and more specifically, on a physical level, Warsaw, which at that time was under Nazi domination. Specifically, it tells the story of some actors who will do everything in their power to prevent a Gestapo spy from delivering a list with the names of all the people who are taking part in and supporting the Resistance.
The concept of being is also associated with a creature or an entity . That which "is" has real existence; it is part of reality , whether physical or symbolic. That is why there are many sets or classifications that are created from the idea of being.
The human being is Homo sapiens , an animal species that is part of the hominid family. All people are human beings: in other words, we are Homo sapiens. The human being, in addition, is a living being since he has life.
The group of living beings largely transcends the human being. All animals , plants , bacteria , fungi, and protozoa are living things.
From the field of fiction, one also talks about beings. Thus, there are writers who imagined beings of energy , cosmic beings , aliens , etc.
Finally, Ser (or SER ) is the name of a radio station in Spain , a magazine in Nicaragua and an Argentine brand .
All this without forgetting that SER gives shape to the acronym of the Spanish Society of Rheumatology, which is a non-profit association that seeks not only to promote knowledge of the different rheumatic diseases but also to promote its research and work in relationship with matter.
