Dignity is the right of a person to be valued and respected for their own sake, and to be treated ethically. In this context, it is of significance in morality, ethics, law and politics as an extension of the Enlightenment-era concepts of inherent, inalienable rights. The term may also be used to describe personal conduct, as in "behaving with dignity".
Dignity is the fundamental right to be valued and respected as a person, and to be treated ethically—a concept rooted in Enlightenment ideas about inherent human rights.
