When I found out I had to create a blog for my honors junior/senior colloquium class focusing on human dignity I was a bit apprehensive.  I was not thrilled that my ideas would be posted on the internet, but then the more we talked about human dignity, the more I realized how much the topic covered.  I work as a nurse's aide so I immediately thought of human dignity as it relates to healthcare-especially with the elderly.  My classmates began sharing their ideas: dignity as it relates to discrimination, warfare, reality shows, bullying, other cultures, personal values, respecting others, language, death, gender, race- just to name a few- and I began to realize how little my ideas of human dignity really encompassed.  I walked into the classroom at the start of class having no idea how many topics really related to dignity.  Needless to say, my opinions about the blog began to change.  Since dignity is such large concept dealing with so many different aspects of humanity this blog as a place where I can post things that I think define, explain, or touch upon the subject of human dignity.
