Human dignity is the same for all human beings: when I trample on the dignity of another, I am
trampling on my own”
Dignity is the quality of being deserving of honour or respect. Every individual, whether they are
kings or servants, possess dignity. Dignity day was celebrated throughout the world on the 19th of
October, 2022. The day is an initiative to educate and enlighten young people and help them to
understand their and others’ self-worth and goals.
It is Beaconhouse’s tradition to acknowledge and celebrate International Days with pride. Therefore
every student from grade 6 to grade 11 participated in numerous activities, which created a
powerful sensation of dignity in the atmosphere.
Every class made posters which presented the essence of dignity. The best posters were used in a
procession in which members of the student council walked around the entire school, holding them
and spreading awareness to the whole school about dignity. BMI-B students appreciated the
efforts of every individual by sharing their feelings and thoughts in the morning assembly with
many speeches along with a cleanliness campaign which was launched both in junior and senior
breaks which would introduce the importance of cleanliness in students so that they keep the
environment litter-free.
To conclude, dignity is a trait which everyone has. It is a unique characteristic which is earned and
must be retained to be respected by others in life. Moreover, brotherhood is a major theme of Islam
which means respecting others’ rights. If we maintain our dignity we will surely be successful in life.
