Part 6/7:
The Essence of Human Dignity
At the core of happiness and fulfillment is the idea of human dignity. Everyone is worthy of respect and necessary to any thriving community. However, public policy often treats poverty as a liability rather than an opportunity for growth and development.
The challenge lies in viewing individuals living in poverty as assets to be developed. Public policies should focus on enhancing personal dignity, fostering community, and providing opportunities for people to feel needed and respected.
