Defining dignity
 
‘...dignity itself has proved very difficult to define.
For more than a decade, researchers have
struggled to pin down what is in essence an
ethical concept that varies according to the
cultural, historical and philosophical contexts in
which it is discussed…some …have taken the view
that difficulties of definition made an emphasis
on dignity in care, at best, of limited use in
practice…’
 
(SCIE 2010)
 
 
Aims
 
To set out some ideas about how the concept
can be understood - particularly through how
it is used
 
To consider its strengths and limitations in
thinking about how failures and abuses in
practice can be addressed
 
Three views of dignity
 
Of all - as something shared equally by human
beings as such
 
Of each - as something associated with a
particular status or rank
 
Of a community - as something which marks
out how we think of ourselves collectively
 
The dignity of all
 
In the West we are much more likely to
acknowledge concern with the dignity of all, than
the dignity of each
 
Written into the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights as the basis for asserting them, but is
unexplored:
 
‘All human beings are born free, equal in dignity
and human rights.  They are endowed with
reason and conscience and should act towards
one another in a spirit of brotherhood’ 
(UN 1948: Article 1)
 
The dignity of each
 
Dignity of each entails hierarchy and differential
status – the assertion of inequality rather than
equality
 
If we are prepared to acknowledge a sense of our
own status, rank and honour we will usually
accept that not everyone will see it in the same
way  (Eg position in a professional hierarchy)
 
Too public assertions of status and rank provoke
at best mixed reactions (eg academic dress)
 
The dignity of a community
 
 
Examples
 
Ranking between professions
 
Dress indicative of religious community
 
Dignity of an office rather than a person
 
An account of dignity and its uses
 
Whether of all, of each or of a community,
dignity is a quality of the possessor that when
asserted, is asserted as the basis for a claim to
Recognition
Respect
Honour
Deference
It is 
not
 a quality of the
 treatment offered to
another (ie it is not respect, it is what is
respected)
 
An account of dignity and its uses
 
 
Pride associated with holding status, or
occupation of a rank.  For someone’s sense of
their own dignity not to be recognised is
a dishonour, and an occasion for anger or
resentment,
and to the extent that others have an interest in
one’s assertion of dignity, potentially a source of
shame
which requires apology, restitution or revenge
 
An account of dignity and its uses
 
 
Many and complex symbols of dignity. E.g:
 
Title
Forms of address
Insignia
Clothing
 
An account of dignity and its uses
 
 
Concern with rank and social differentiation
seemingly much diminished in West over last
two centuries
 
duels are rarely fought
symbols of rank are less ostentatious
 
An account of dignity and its uses
 
Related to the fact that rank and status are
more open to be acquired and can rarely be
asserted across the range of one’s social
encounters
 
So a person’s sense of what their dignity
requires is not likely to be as publicly readable
as it once was
 
Dignity in health and social care
 
Likely to emerge as an issue when someone,
for whatever reason, has reduced capacity to
insist on respect for their dignity, or sense of
personal worth
 
Appeals to dignity are appeals to others to
treat that person as they (the person
themselves not the others) might expect to be
treated
 
Dignity in health and social care
 
But since a person’s estimation of what their
dignity requires is no longer so publicly
readable, how are we to know how to act?
 
And in any case, how comfortable is it for
someone working in the public service to treat
people differentially?
 
The dignity of all
 
 
Is there some core of respect which should be
offered to all regardless of social status?
 
If so, what is the ground for this?
 
The problem of human rights
 
 
‘… natural rights is simple nonsense: natural
and imprescriptible rights, rhetorical nonsense
- nonsense upon stilts…’ (Bentham)
 
‘Belief in the existence of [natural or human
rights] is one with the belief in witches and in
unicorns’(MacIntyre 1982:67)
 
The dignity of all
 
 
Some extreme examples of situations giving
rise to appeals to respect for dignity:
 
The body on the mortuary table
 
The deportee to an extermination camp
 
 
The dignity of each and of all
 
 
The first is interesting because it shows that
the person for whose dignity respect can be
demanded is in some degree independent of
there being a living body to link it to.  While
the body in question no longer has purposes
of its own, we who remain have purposes for
it either as
the physical site of the social person that  we are
intimately connected with or have feelings for
or as representative of how any 
body 
(living or
otherwise) can be treated
 
The dignity of each and of all
 
Since the person is intimately connected to
the body, if a body is treated as no more than
a collection of biological matter (cf Alder Hey)
then our sense of what makes us persons is
exposed as extraordinarily fragile
 
Without confidence in how others will treat us
physically, our faith in how other will treat us
socially – in what value and personhood they
are prepared to accord to us – is reduced
almost to nothing
 
The dignity of each and of all
 
We all then become ashamed in the demonstration
of the worthlessness of our bare physical being,
and need reassurance that the dignity and worth
we assert as living social persons will be respected.
 
So while dignity might point to social
differentiation we are 
all
 interested in participating
in that system of social differentiation (and so of
connectedness) and in having it sustained
 
The dignity of each
 
Note again how dignity (and indignity) are
powerfully linked to clothing.  The naked body
is the human person stripped of all pretention.
 
Only in the most intimate relationships can
that lack of pretension become something – a
source of personal affirmation.
 
The dignity of all
 
 
The deportee in the extermination camp is the
type case of the failure of a claim that there
are such things as human rights (or more
particularly that those rights were inalienable)
 
The dignity of all
 
Humans were herded into cattle trucks,
stripped of all marks of personhood and
physical identity – including hair, teeth and
glasses – treated as absolutely the bare
human, and killed in their millions.
 
Reduced to their bare humanity there was
nothing left to protect them.
 
The dignity of all
 
On the other hand the extermination camps have
been pointed to as showing the absolute
necessity of establishing the existence of a dignity
and a claim to respect which depends only on
being human, and is independent of social status.
 
The urgency of such a claim is evident, but the
question remains – what grounds are there to
accept it?
 
 
 
Dignity and respect for persons
 
 
Bernard Williams discusses Kant’s notion of
respect for persons as owed equally to all as
rational moral agents independently of ‘any
empirical capacities which men [sic] may possess
unequally…[there is nothing] empirical 
about
men that constitutes the ground of equal
respect…’
 
 
and says
 
This… cannot provide any solid foundation for the
notions of equality among men or of equality of
respect owed to them’
 
[Williams 1973: 235]
 
Dignity and respect for persons
 
 
But Williams argues that notion of respect for
persons is still important in requiring us to
think about people – independently of their
differing abilities, achievements or social roles
– as people with
capacity to suffer, feel pain, seek attachments
desires to be identified with own purposes,
and not just as an instrument of others’
purposes
 
 
Dignity and respect for persons
 
 
This does not provide strong grounds for treating
people 
equally
 but does require that we should
try to see the world from the other’s point of
view (independently of their particular roles and
abilities)
give relevant reasons for how we treat them in
regard to these (ie not just arbitrarily) and
not
 collude in crushing people’s capacity to
develop needs, wants or purposes of their own
 
The dignity of all
 
I think it is in this last point that the notion of a
dignity possessed by all has most purchase.
 
Though a given human being may lack any mark
of specific rank, status or social identity (eg the
abandoned infant, the stateless refugee) they  do
still bear the capacity for joy and suffering, love
and happiness, flourishing and the fulfilment of
their own purposes – for being 
or becoming
persons.
 
The dignity of all
 
And even if they do not (as with the case of the
body on the mortuary table) we still have some
collective interest in behaving as if they do.
 
This is not to provide a claim of rights with a solid
foundation, but…
 
‘Either we can work out our anxiety and
vulnerability by seeking to demean and oppress
others, or we can seek to develop arrangements
that assure the security and freedom of all’
 
(
Isaac, G. C. 1996:66)
 
The dignity of all
 
What this account suggests is that if there can
be any agreement on common human worth
it is to be found in the willingness of us all to
offer it to each other.
 
But while in an increasingly mobile, socially
fragmented and multi-cultural world, we have
growing incentive to reach one, we are at the
same time brought into confrontation with
the challenges of agreeing what this might
consist in.
 
Thinking beyond dignity
in health and social care
 
My reference to Bernard Williams concluded
by suggesting what respect for persons would
require us 
not
 to do (collude in crushing
people’s capacity to develop needs, wants or
purposes of their own)
 
But do appeals to dignity tell us anything very
specific about what we 
should 
do?
 
The dignity of all
 
Different conceptions (eg Catholic, Kantian,
Social democratic, Islamic, Jewish etc) may
require different responses in the same
situation
 
A problem in international law as well as in
health and social care 
( McCrudden 2008)
 
The dignity of all and of each
 
It should also be clear that Williams’ account of a
ground for asserting the dignity of all does not entail
equality of treatment, and avoids the problems of
accounts which do:
 
‘There is a contradiction, at the heart of the welfare
state, between the respect we owe persons as
individuals and as fellow human beings… What respect
means to you may not be what respect
 means to me.
Besides, all individuals are not due the same kind of
respect as individuals
The most common criticism of
modern welfare is precisely that in treating everyone
the same it ends up treating everyone like a thing
 
(Ignatieff, M.  1984:16-17 my italics)
 
Developing dignity
 
In so far as an equality of human dignity is
asserted, and human rights legislation does,
this contradication may not be resolvable.
If it is, one way to do so may be to place less
emphasis on a dignity which presents the
person as a fixed and immutable object of
respect – and more on dignity as formed in
relationship.
 
 
Developing dignity
in health and social care
 
In health and social care what this entails is a shift
from  references to ‘dignfied care’, to the notion
of dignify
ing
 care
What this requires is not just acts of respect by
individual workers, but the development of an
entire culture in which those cared for are offered
not just care, but the opportunity to participate
in and develop that culture, and to develop as
much of a life of their own as they both can and
want.
 
Developing dignity
and the limits of respect
 
 
Cf Christina Patterson on cruelty and kindness in
nursing care
Those who were cross about being called to help,
or who treated her roughly, appeared to believe
that acts of kindness were ‘beneath their dignity’.
She contrasts this with the kindness of the nurse
who spent time with her when she was sobbing
with despair and exhaustion – when her
vulnerability was beyond sheilding.
 
Dignity, vulnerability and kindness
 
These seem to me to be accurate uses of the
term dignity
When we are unable or can no longer do
things for ourselves, when we are ‘at someone
else’s mercy’, when there is ‘very little of
onself left that one can respect’, when hope is
ebbing away, then what we require is not so
much respect for our dignity (though it were
good to get it back) as kindness and attention.
 
Developing dignity
in health and social care
 
This returns us to the point that dignity is likely to
emerge as an issue when someone, for whatever
reason, has reduced capacity to insist on respect
for their own sense of dignity
 
Emphasising kindness and dignifying care draws
attention to the vulnerability of the cared for
 
But more than this it calls on professionals to go
beyond a distant and unengaged professionalism
and give of themselves.
 
Developing dignity
in health and social care
 
Without offering the opportunity to be more
than a passive recipient of acts of care, any
care, however well intentioned it is, will never
be dignifying.
 
Developing dignity
in health and social care
 
To achieve this, workers will need not only
respect, kindness and compassion.  Interest,
creativity, and liveliness could provide a much
stronger focus on the positive possibilities of a
person’s life.  Kindness and compassion alone
may draw attention primarily to deficits.
