This paper reviews the meaning of the word humanize and the basis of humanization understood as vulnerability and dignity. The key areas for humanization are summarized, such as the political-economic sphere, justice, structures, culture and the inter-personal relationship. The causes of humanization, such as injustice, power, ignorance and technological development, de-personalization, bureaucratization, corruption, pain and suffering and lack of training are looked into in depth. Finally, humanizing actions that include the reviewed areas are proposed.Downloads
