Question

When persons are treated equally, their dignity is violated.
A)True
B)False

Answer 1

Hint: 1)Dignity is the respect, value or the worth of being honored.
2)It is a significant part of morality, ethics and also an extension in law and order.

Complete answer:
This statement is false, because the dignity of a person is violated when they are treated unequally.

This means that, when a person is treated unequally the person is disrespected, or his value as a person has been harmed. Discriminating a person or treating a person unequally is an unethical and an immoral act. It has existed in our society for an unimaginable amount of time. It is only recently that this has been recognized as an unlawful act by laws and orders around the world.

Social inequality is a state of affairs where the people in a society are not given equal rights. These rights are provided to people who belong to a certain social class, caste, gender, ethnicity etc. There have been many instances around the world which portray this cruelty of humans against other humans. The Africans and African-Americans, irrespective of their gender were traded as slaves in many parts of the world. Their right to freedom was taken from them. Women all around the world were also not given equal rights as men in any field. Be it sports, politics, financial support, job opportunities, social lives etc.
All these acts, other than being unethical and immoral, are also extremely inhumane. Thus rules and regulations have been enforced all around the world to protect the rights and the dignity of persons.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B)

Note: 1)The most significant form of inequality in India in the discrimination against the Dalits, who were called the ‘untouchables’ because people avoided coming in contact to them.
2)The Father of the Indian Constitution, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar himself was a dalit and a victim of discrimination from his childhood up to his professional life.
3)He was the person who began the legal fight for the equal rights of dalits. He made it a point to provide equal rights to all citizen and abolish discrimination through the Indian Constitution that he drafted.
