An act that is performed only by a human being and thus is proper to man. Not every act that a human being does is a
distinctively human act. Some acts that human beings do are performed also by animals, e.g., vegetative acts and acts of
perception and emotion. When a human being does such acts, they are called acts of man but not human acts. Acts of
man are actions shared by humans and other animals while human acts refer to the appropriate actions of human
beings. What makes an act performed by a human being distinctively a human act is that it is voluntary, that is, an act in
some way under the control or direction of the will, which is proper to man. One can therefore identify the human
activity with the voluntary act.
