Dignity - Mychal Wynn

The Occupation of Prostitution

The true story of a prostitute turned serial killer that was portrayed by Charlise Theron is one that I felt was relevant in my discussions in dignity. In this film she continued to sell herself from the age of 13 up until a point where she is raped by one of her clients. The issue I propose is how she and others like her might have viewed dignity. In such a contraversial line of business, does one remove one's morals and self from what they are doing for them not to allow it to influence their opinion of themselves? Do they reach a point where they arte so far gone that their dignity is no longer an issue. I realise that I speak now in a generalised bias about sex workers when I shouldn't be but it is difficult for me to remove societies views from this topic. I do however respect an honest living no matter what the job. It is my opinion that it is unfortunate that this particular job is drenched in stigma's as well as it being illegal in this country. I say this because I find that there are mouch more undignified occupations out there than prostitution, however I would not recommend it in today's society and especially after seeing this movie...

Marchers With Dignity

Dignity In Being A Celebrated Personality?

We'd all be lying if we said that celebrities have not in anyway affected our lives. Somehow I also feel that we as consumers have an even bigger effect on them. At some point or another some celebrities end up compromising their dignity to please the public or keep their name in conversation. So where do they draw the line? Do they even consider issues of dignity or has their fame and fortune raised them above the leel where it's even an issue? Celebrities do what they want because we want and expect them to. We celebrate their lives to the point where they feel that their actions will not take away from the position we have put them up on. Anyway, I'm not too sure about any of this, these are just my thoughts.
