Personal Dignity VS National Dignity - can it be separated? --- This is such a great food-for-thought question. Whilst I take the risk of sounding simplistic, the answer is both yes and no. The definition of national dignity can vary from nation to nation as there are several parameters to consider including the various cultural and religious aspects. Whereas the definition of personal dignity is almost universal as it relates to individual human rights and value. And yet, when the leader of the most powerful nation in the world refers to developing countries particularly in the Caribbean and Africa as 'Shit hole countries' I feel both national and personal diginity of the people merge into one. Definitely need to do more research on this.
