So basically, both person and people can be used as singular nouns, people can be used as a plural noun and persons and peoples are also acceptable plural forms. I would say that these days, using people as a singular noun and both peoples and persons are fairly uncommon and do sound quite formal.Mar 2, 2010

HEY MATE HERE IS YOUR ANSWER
THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT
The word people has several meanings. The first meaning is simply the plural of person - in other words two or more human beings.
HERE are two examples
1.we met all sorts of people on the trip (people= more than one person, in the case, probably many)
2.my neighbours are nice people (people = more than one person, in the case, probably just a few)
However people can also mean " all or most humans," or "all humans of a particular type" as see in these below examples
3. He doesn't care what people think of him (people=all people)
4. Young people carry their mobile phones everywhere (young people = all or nearly all young people)
Finally a third meaning of people is "a group of people who belong to the same culture, ethnicity, nation or race" here is the confusing part when more than one such group is being referred to PEOPLE becomes PEOPLES.
HERE are examples
5. To travel on the ice, hunt, and stay warm, lunit people developed a unique way of life ( the lunit people = the people who belong to the ethnic group known as IUNIT.
6. In 1991, Australia began a formal process of reconciliation with indigenous peoples. (peoples = different groups with different languages cultures etc.
In sum, the only time you will want to use the words " peoples" when you are referring to groups of people from multiple ethnic, culture, racial or national background.
Hope it will help you

to clarify this question the question given by you people has different meanings other one people or person or more than two people or person.
let's find out the meaning given by you in the above question. when we use people Means having some demand from others. and you people while writing the word writing has different meaning in the above question the writing means people's will and people's property.
we use people while writing this means we are in the black faith in the society
why we are using people instead of helping or doing some kind things.
the entire question is when we use people and when we use peoples while writing.
let's come to the grammatical part of your question
the first people refer to a single people
at II which is written peoples that means more than two people
let's come to the finest example
my friends parents are nice people's this reffered to more than one people
