... Society is essentially what makes up the world. The picture above shows humans holding hands or the world together. We must work together to support each other's dignity, but also need to fight for it. The soldier (below) represents someone who feels a need to fight for what they want and feel is right. Dignity is to be fought for and has brought many scars in the human history. Aristotle, a famous figure of history, said we have to earn our dignity which was told through the poem by Sharon Scarlett:
'You never asked me 'what would you like to eat?
'You never asked me 'would you like your tea sweet?'
You never asked me 'would you like to go out?'
You only got cross when I started to shout
Cornflakes for breakfast, two sugars in tea
Knock on the door when you come to my room
Don't just open it, don't just assume
Open the wardrobe and show me my clothes
Ugh! baggy old trousers, I won't wear those
Soldiers of modern day keep peace, but older veterans used to fight for land. Martin Luther King Jr. fought for his race (below). He believed equality should have been given which shows great dignity by proving that you must speak your mind and stay positive. The human dignity and personal dingily was tested when Martin gave his famous "I have a dream" speech; just like Aibileen did when she left her only job. Michael J. Fox was mocked by death when he was diagnosed with a disease and King was mocked for trying to make a difference in a non-accepting society, but both did not give up, both did not surrender. The brave man below spoke in a public, national place to thousands of people which showed true self and interpersonal respect which is what dignity is...
