a serious question

and I ask specifically here because while there is much artificial strife and open hostility, there is also a wide range of intelligent people with differing views. and that is important.

what constitutes dignity? I ask simply because I wish to understand clearly others views. I came to wonder about this do to the immigration in California. in contrast to what many assert here at GFY I have a wide variety of associations, all positive, with many people. the hard and fast categories bandied about here at GFY lack any reality in my life. it is difficult to imagine anyone's intellect being so rigidly confided.

in conversation with an associate, Mexican guy I've been friends with for 15 years, graduate from the university of Mexico in horticulture, it was mentioned that the illegal alien situation, the border crossings, the arrest, all of it... is humiliating. that's my take on the situation. while I feel no responsibility to support the citizens of another country, I do however feel and understand their shame and humiliation. people should not be forced have this experience.

if an organization promoting human dignity were to exist, what would be the guidelines? what would be the ideals? what qualifies as dignity? what are the talking points? I'm thinking dignity is earned through opportunity. you may demand respect, however what is a demand for dignity, isn't that an opportunity to better yourself?

being forced by poor government to flee your home is certainly undignified. where is the dignity in the leaders that allows this condition to exist? I really want to see some conversation... or I could go to Quora?
