Chapter 1: Reflections on human dignity

Worum geht es: 

This is an exercise which aims at reflections leading to a positive definition of human dignity. Looking at violations of human dignity may help to find an understanding of the term that is universally applicable.

 

Anleitung: 

1.) Please take a look at the images and comments and find a common heading to the pictures. What is in your opinion their common topic? Instead of finding a headline you could consider terms that fit to your photos.

2.) Life in human dignity includes various aspects, so how would you define it on a personal level for yourself?
