Deep dives
The Power of Dignity
Dignity is a concept that allows us to treat each other with respect and value, not based on what someone has earned, but simply because they are human. Dignity was introduced around the same time as the modern economy. It means acknowledging the potential and worth of every individual, regardless of their social status or economic standing. However, many instances strip away dignity, such as when individuals in positions of power demean and dehumanize others. Treating others with dignity, on the other hand, enriches our culture and humanity, creating a better society.
