Question of dignity? --- After watching all four videos, there was one single word that came to mind: dignity. Leaving aside the fact that all of them portray particular circumstances in which certain etiquette and protocol are needed, I think they all prove how important it is, for simple human interaction, to give each other the place and respect they deserve. Particularly with the last one, I almost felt sorry for the Minister who was beaten up in public. And that would have been the same feeling if he had been "an ordinary citizen". So, it got me thinking about how these four principles are applicable to everyday life an interactions, and how it may not be as clear until we see this kind of disrespect in public.
