Dignity is the state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect.

Simply implying that;

the respect we give or show to others becomes the respect also others give in return.

The one who wants to be respected or honored by others must also behave in a dignified manner.

Dignified behaviors are always cultivated into people’s traits via culture and the reward (award) which is aimed at sustaining dignified behaviors in a society.

The way a person behaves, speaks, acts or dresses (dress code), can influence others to retaliate in a dignified manner or undignified way towards that individual.

Treating people with dignity implies being sensitive to people’s needs and doing one’s best for them, but it also means:

1: Involving them in decision-making in with an organization, family matters, company or government.

2: Respecting their individuality or unique identity,
Allowing them to do what they can for themselves by giving them employment which suits their caliber.

3: Giving them privacy and their own personal space, or trusting them by allowing them to grow, give them an education that nurtures one’s unique skills or talents, or have a practical field where they practice and develop their own unique talents and skills.

4: Giving of awards or rewarding of the good deeds which have contributed to the positive acts of dignity in your organization, family, etc…

5: But also remembering to maintain social and cultural activities that pass on values and attributes of respect, honor, mutual respect, kindness, forgiveness, charity, appropriate dressing, good deeds, respecting the elders, etc.

Things to avoid or change:

In societies where people are not treated with dignity, these are the same societies where racism, prejudice, human trafficking, freedom of hate speech, free expressions that insult others, homosexuality, prostitution, corruption, bribery, partiality and bating is democratically practiced.

And this is also the same place where the underdeveloped and unprivileged skills of the people turn into beggars, criminals, violence, revenge, riot, stress, prisoners etc…

Examples.

Some of the practices that violate human dignity include torture, rape, social exclusion, labor exploitation, bonded labor, and slavery.

Both absolute and relative poverty are violations of human dignity, although they also have other significant dimensions, such as social injustice.
