When I think about human dignity in any context I am always drawn back to the fact that no matter what the situation, every human deserves dignity.   All humans should be treated equally and no human should be treated as any more or any less human.  In deserving dignity and being treated equally, all people also should have equal opportunities.  This photograph that I took of my mom on the beach reminds me of human dignity because as I look at the picture I feel as though I am reminded that the world has endless opportunities.  I feel like in the picture my mom is ready to scream, "LIVE LIFE!"

Looking back at the picture I am motivated to grab hold of the opportunities presented to me and embrace life.  While it may be a stretch, this pertains to human dignity because I often get caught up in school or work and I loose sight of myself and the things that make me- well me.  One of the most important things I have learned about dignity over the course of the colloquium class is that recognizing ones' self dignity is just as important in recognizing someone else's dignity.  People need to need to embrace what makes them unique and be true to themselves.  This photograph is a reminder for me br true to myself and to take advantage of all the things the world has to offer.
