Is the sentence correct?
Hello,
I'm writing a research proposal. I would like to end it with a strong sentence underlining the general idea behind the research. Thus, I'm considering following sentence:
"That’s not what humanity stands for."
It ends with preposition, so I'm not sure if it is okay to leave like that. I will be grateful for your opinion.
