This photo upholds the human dignity these two ladies because this picture illustrates care, love, and compassion. The elderly woman’s dignity is being upheld by the young girl because she is caring for her and making sure that she is being taken care of. The care given to her by this woman is giving her a sense of worth and being appreciated. The feeling of accomplishment is achieved by the young women by caring for the elderly woman, resulting in the upholding of her human dignity due to the feeling of accomplishing a task that is so vigorous and humble. I work with the elderly so can relate first hand with the upholding of my dignity I benefit from while working with the elderly.
This photo upholds the dignity of the migrants in this picture due to the support being shown by the church. This support will provide these migrants with the feeling of love, importance, and worth. There are many people on this earth who do not participate in the support of migrants while find jobs and opportunities to become stable in order to support themselves. This photo demonstrates first hand what it looks like to step back and treat migrants like the rest of us and remembering that their dignity must be upheld as well. The upholding of everyone’s dignity is important in order to achieve happiness and fulfillment among all. Relating back to the article Wisdom Dignity, and Justice: Higher Education as a Work of Mercy it was stated, “Unlike other strands of Christianity, it has continued to believe in the basic intelligibility of creation and in the basic capacity of the human mind to understand what is revealed in creation. Although the Catholic tradition, like others, has taken seriously the “human condition” limited by human nature and damaged by human sin, it had never thought that humans are either limited or so injured and incapacitated that they cannot learn (however partially) about the universe and about humanity itself” (Farley, p.4). This statement sends me the message that nobody should be singled out, or discriminated against, or underestimated just because of what ethnicity they are and what religion they participate in. This picture is the perfect example of making sure that everyone is given an equal opportunity despite our differences.

This is a photo I took at my cousin Natalie’s wedding over the weekend. This is a picture of Natalie and her brand new husband Ben kissing after feeding each other their first piece of wedding cake at their reception! This photo upholds the dignity of Natalie and Ben because it demonstrates the adamant love that they have for each other. When I revealed this photo to Natalie later on that night at her reception, she began to cry and said thank you. She was so happy that I was able to capture such an intimate moment between her and Ben on their special night. Leaving their wedding that night, I had such an amazing feeling with the knowledge of knowing that I was able to uphold Natalie and Ben’s dignity within such a special picture.
