How does it feel to lose our dignity?  The meaning of dignity •

Kant believes that “In the kingdom of ends everything has either a price or a dignity. Whatever has a price can be replaced by something else as its equivalent; on the other hand, whatever is above all prices, and therefore admits of no equivalent, has dignity.” (Kant, 40) Basically, he explains that man is more than just an object of inclination implemented to abide to ones propositions to attain a certain desire. Man is someone that is priceless that is above all prices and has dignity, and should be treated in a way that conveys that. Additionally, this

The principle of human dignity based on catholic social teaching is that every human being is the live image of a god himself (Australian Catholic Social Justice Council, 2016). therefore, every individual in our society is worth of respect as a member of the

In her essay “The Ways We Lie” Stephanie Ericsson (2007) states different ways people lie in their lives and explains the reasons why people lie. Ericsson starts her essay, by explaining how she lied four times in just one day, and that she doesn’t feel guilty about doing it. Although at the same time she explains that everyone lies one way or another but there is no such a thing as a good lie. The author continues her contends by listing different types of lies people use in different situations such as: the white lie, facades, ignoring the plain facts, deflecting, omission, stereotypes and clichés, groupthink, out-and-out lies, dismissal, and finally delusion then she explains each in detail by providing examples.

It is a universal idea that lies are the base for continual lies to come next. Many times we often tell a lie to save ourselves from getting into even more trouble than if we had told the truth. Although, this can lead to a downward spiral that requires more and more lies that continue to get even bigger and worse. This is shown in great extent through Arthur Miller’s book The Crucible with the mass hysteria caused by Abigail and Procter.

One of the major components, of the work, is subjectivity in truths. In the absence of emotion, there are no logical bounds for to lie or fabricate truth. To that end, Christopher feels himself incapable of telling a lie; he can only explain experiences in the exact manner in which they occur. He does, however, make a distinction between telling a lie and telling a white lie. When one tells a lie, they make up events that did not occur. When one tells a white lie, however,

Throughout the story there is circus imagery, which is significant to the story in several ways. A circus is commonly known for being the entertainment for a large group of people and is also characterized by a variety of acts and events designed to arouse the awe and fascination of the crowds. The young African-American men in the story are forced to participate in a variety of events designed for the sole purpose of entertaining the crowd of white men. This is effective because it is very compelling in the way whites used to treat blacks. They looked at them such as "circus animals" and felt empowered to do whatever they wanted, making them look like clowns.

Dan and Chris were so excited, they were going to “Barlow’s Great North American Circus” the circus has just come to their town of Smyrna. “Chris we have to go we are going to be late the circus opens at 6:00 and its 5:30” Dan said franticly. “Calm down Dan, the circus is only 15 minutes away from here” Chris said. As Dan and Chris got on their bikes and started riding to the circus, Dan was thinking about how scared he was of elephants. “You okay Dan, you seem kind of flustered” Chris said in a concerned tone. “I’m fine let’s just get there okay” Dan said sternly.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern is about two young illusionist whom are pitted against one another in a challenge in which only one will survive yet no one understands what the challenge is. “Magic,” the man in the grey suit repeats, turning the word into a laugh. “This is not magic. This is the way the world is, only very few people take time to stop and note it… Not one of them has even an inkling of the things that are possible in this world… They want to believe that magic is nothing but clever deception, because to think it real would keep them up at night, afraid of their own existence.” (Morgenstern, 504)

This is often seen as a way of proposing the idea of “respect” for persons, for whatever it is that is essential to our humanity. The idea is to treat the humanity of ones and oneself, and others with rational being as ends in themselves and not as merely, for another end. According to the second

“Dignity is a state of physical, emotional and spiritual comfort, with each individual valued for his or her uniqueness and his or her individuality celebrated. Dignity is promoted when individuals are enabled to do the best within their capabilities, exercise control, make choices and feel involved in the decision-making that underpins their care.”

The idea of human dignity has been remarked and articulated in a number of the jurisprudence works of the mid-twentieth American legal philosopher, Lon L. Fuller. The Morality of Law, for instance, provides a valuable snapshot of Fuller’s preliminary sense of what his idea on human dignity might entail. In the core of his argument of legal morality, Fuller proposes that any neglect of eight principles of legality, which constitutes the internal morality of law, is not just only render the rational ground to obey the law and destroy the trusteeship between lawgiver and subject, but it further condemns and humiliates the dignity of person or human being as a free and responsible agent, self-determining center of action, and that they possess inherent dignity. In other important text, Fuller explicitly announces that the value of human dignity, over other extra-legal values, that must embodied within the structure of legal order. After he offers a long discussion of human capacity of action and communication under the forms of order, he writes: “ there is, therefore, in an ordered system of law, formulated and administered conscientiously, a certain built-in respect for human dignity, and I think it is reasonable to suppose that this respect will tend to carry over into the substantive ends of law.” Thirdly, in his draft essay Means and Ends, which can be considered both as an introductory of Fuller’s eunmoics theory of social order and Fuller’s reflection on the
