Are you able to give a pretend example about what dignity of man means please?
Ive heard it used referring to abortion but can it be used in any other situations?
ie:is there any other situations that a humans dignity can be violated eg:police situations,mental health situations,or anything you can think of.
Im not really understanding what dignity means cause i sort of confuse it with pride or ego or shame ause i've heard sayings like "a dignified girl wouldnt act like that" said with anger and isnt this trying to instill shame into a person to control that person to act how the other person wishes them to act?
So is dignity the same as shameful or is it just that some peole have misused/twisted the term dignity to suit their own agenda but the true meaning is something else?

Thankyou:)
