Deep dives

Dignity in the Digital Age

Dignity in the digital age involves recognizing the intrinsic worth of every person. This concept is important economically, ensuring opportunities for productive work and wealth creation, especially for those left out of the modern wealth generation engine. From a citizenship perspective, the digital age raises concerns about equality and access to the public sphere. Social media platforms have amplified voices, but the quality of participation and influence on government remain problematic. Initiatives to create digital town halls and promote thoughtful online discourse can contribute to a more inclusive and fulfilling digital public sphere.
