Questions for Reflection and Discussion (Human Dignity)

Catholic social teaching tells us that our dignity does not come
from the work we do, from our social positions, or from what we
have, but from the fact that we are all children of God, beloved by
our Creator.

1. What challenges and realities present in the world today pose the
most serious threat to human dignity? Explain why they pose a
serious risk to the dignity of human persons.
(Think about the news stories you have read and/or heard about
over the last week or two. Based on these news stories, what threats
can you identify that pose serious harm to the dignity of human
persons? Were the events on the local, national or global level?)

3. Why is human dignity such a central principle upon which all the
other social principles depend?

4. How can we as individuals, families, church and/or school


communities, and as citizens, creatively live out the gospel call to
promote human dignity in the face of the threats identified?
(Create a list and discuss the options).

5. What structures or values present in our culture today prevent us


from recognizing the dignity and worth of others in our society?

6. What actions, attitudes or practices can you commit yourself to


that will promote respect and reverence for the dignity of those you
deal with on a daily basis?
