dignity

Dignity is the way people feel when they're respected and valued for who they are. It's like having self-worth.

When we talk about dignity, we often think of it in relation to how others treat us or behave towards us. For example, if someone is being bullied at school, they might feel a loss of dignity because they're not being treated with the respect they deserve. On the other hand, when people are kind and considerate towards each other, it's said that everyone has dignity. In politics, leaders often talk about upholding human rights to ensure dignity for all citizens. Sometimes, dignity is also used to describe a person who stands up for what they believe in, even if it's hard or unpopular – like a whistleblower exposing corruption. Overall, dignity means being treated with the respect and kindness that we all need to feel valued as individuals.
