Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It means to pursue your own selfish desires at the expense of everything and anything!. For example, you could be given a 'golden opportunity' make oodles of money to work for a company that employs child labourers and forces them to work in terrible conditions and physically abuses them and what not!. If you accept the job, then you have 'turned your back on humanity'!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

To turn away from any responsibility to humanity!. You do nothing to aid them!. You no longer see other people as your concern!. For some, it may be that they refuse to socialize or enter into community with others but they would still pull a small child out of the path of an oncoming truck!.
To truly turn away means that you may have discovered to cure for cancer but since people mean nothing to you, you couldn't be bothered to share this knowledge!. You abandon all connection and responsibility!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Turning your back on humanity can mean one of two things: either giving up on what it means to be human or giving up on humanity itself!.
Giving up on what it means to be human means you give up morals and love, usually because love hurts to much!. You give up on feeling and live life with just simple, day to day "survival" tasks!.
I think giving up on humanity is when you abandon all hope for the human race as a whole!. you accept that humans are basically evil and there is no hope for us to evolve to a higher society and a more perfect state of being!. that people cannot put aside the human imperfections such as greed, hate, jealousy, ect!. to achive something or to help others!.

You've no need to light a night-light
On a light night like tonight,
For a night-light's light's a slight light,
And tonight's a night that's light!.
When a night's light, like tonight's light,
It is really not quite right
To light night-lights with their slight lights
On a light night like tonight!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
