Although it is believed that man was created by God in His image and likeness, he is a sinful and imperfect being. However, human dignity is also undeniable, as well as its shortcomings. And these disadvantages include such unsightly qualities as pride, greed, envy, condemnation, intolerance, stubbornness and so on, you can list for a long time. Many of these qualities, unfortunately, are incorporated in a person from childhood, that is, they are the result of parents raising the child in the family incorrectly.
The advantages and disadvantages of a person do not appear in him suddenly and suddenly, this is understandable. To form the distinctive character traits of a child, everything is put in hand, starting from the parents themselves and their close circle, and continuing with kindergarten, school, and so on. For example, if a child was constantly urged on in his childhood, he was forced to rush when he was forced to run to a large number of circles and sections, try to manage everything, otherwise he would be scolded - he formed such a quality as impatience. Stubbornness also appears when parents constantly try to go against the will of the child and cause him a constant feeling of protest, and permissiveness, on the contrary, leads to licentiousness and arrogance.
Disadvantages, as well as human dignity, of course, have deep roots. Greed can form in a child from a lack of love and attention, this may also lead to despair and despondency, which will then lead to self-abasement. Then a boss will appear who will suppress his will, so fear, hypocrisy, obsequiousness will arise in a person, which will in no way lead him to self-esteem and self-esteem.
What is the dignity of man, as they are expressed in life and in character? In fact, according to Dahl's dictionary, dignity is respect, a combination of fairly high moral qualities. And do not confuse him with arrogance, these are completely different things. When they say that this person is worthy, they mean that he is worthy of respect, thanks to his valuable personal qualities, behavior in society, actions and so on. If a person begins to inflate his price, he becomes arrogant, thus losing respect for the honor and dignity of the individual. Therefore, we must understand that these are completely different things.
Advantages and disadvantages of a person continue to be formed even when he comes out of childhood, under the influence of society. A positive assessment of his behavior, actions, elevates him in the eyes of the public. This can give him strength and desire to deal with his shortcomings and strive for further improvement. A negative assessment on the part of public opinion can lead to aggravation of these shortcomings, therefore, ideally, this assessment should be objective.
The recognition by society of a person’s dignity means a certain assessment regarding his moral qualities. The more such qualities are manifested in it as honesty, respect for people, nobility, goodwill, sincerity, modesty, sensitivity and so on, the more such a person is of value to society. Accordingly, if parents want to raise their child as a worthy member of this very society, they must from childhood lay and develop these positive qualities in it.
They also include:
- Modesty. This is when a person, even having many advantages, behaves simply and quietly, without bulging them out and not boasting.
- Shame and conscience. Believers say that it is the voice of God within a person that tells him what is good and what is bad and leads to the desire to repent of their bad deeds.
- Honour. These are moral principles and human qualities worthy of respect from society.
- Self-esteem. A person possessing this feeling will never inflict a daring insult on anyone, will not humiliate or insult another.
This is the advantage of communicating with a person who has honor and dignity.
