⤷ HUMAN DIGNITY -​ Is an inherent right that everyone deserves, but it is often overlooked or exploited by individuals who prioritize their own interests. Instead of genuinely respecting others, some people may offer empty gestures or pretend to care without taking meaningful action. › UNDERSTANDING DIGNITY: -​ Dignity is the inherent worth and value that every person has simply because they are human. -​ It means treating people with respect and acknowledging their rights to freedom, justice, and equality. Human dignity is a universal right, but people often perceive and treat others in ways that do not reflect this principle. This can be influenced by societal factors such as culture, education, and socioeconomic status. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their background, education, or social status. Unfair treatment based on these factors can lead to feelings of exclusion and discourage individuals from reaching their full potential. › EQUALITY -​ It is not about giving the same reward to everyone, regardless of effort. It ensures equal opportunities while recognizing that rewards should reflect real effort and meaningful contributions. True fairness upholds dignity by ensuring recognition is earned and deserved. › EQUALITY IN DIGNITY -​ Means ensuring equal opportunities for all, while recognizing that rewards should reflect genuine effort and meaningful contributions. It is about honoring each person's worth, where recognition is earned and truly deserved. We are created in God's image and likeness, and therefore, we should strive to reflect His qualities in our daily lives. The command 'love your neighbor as yourself' implies that if we seek respect from others, we must first demonstrate that we are worthy of it. Human dignity is not determined by wealth or life circumstances, for in God's eyes, all are equal. › 3 PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN DIGNITY 1. Everyone Has Inherent Value 2. Everyone Deserves Equality and Respect 3. We All Have a Responsibility to Protect Dignity EVERYONE HAS INHERENT VALUE: -​ Every person has worth simply because they are human, regardless of their background or appearance. We should treat everyone with respect because dignity is a basic right, not something earned. EVERYONE DESERVES EQUALITY AND RESPECT -​ Dignity means treating all people equally and with respect, no matter their race, gender, or other differences. We should stand up against discrimination and unfair treatment. WE ALL HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT DIGNITY -​ It’s everyone’s job to protect and promote dignity in society. We can do this by speaking out against disrespectful behavior and being inclusive in our communities. › POPE JOHN PAUL II'S 4 ACTIONS TO DEFEND HUMAN DIGNITY ARE: 1. Respect Life 2.

Identify Gaps: You find what has been discovered and what still needs to be explored. Shape Your Research: You use this knowledge to plan your research approach, methods, and expectations. › WHY IS RRL IMPORTANT? Demonstrates Knowledge: It shows you understand existing research. Establishes Background: It provides context for your research and highlights its importance. Guides Your Research: It helps you plan your study and determine key questions. › HOW TO WRITE A RRL: 1.​ Find Information: Look for books, articles, and studies about your topic. You can find these on websites, in libraries, or in research papers. 2.​ Summarize the Main Ideas: Write a short summary of what each source says. Focus on the important points. 3.​ Link It to Your Topic: Explain how the information you found connects to your research question or what you are studying. 4.​ Organize It: Group similar ideas together, so your RRL is clear and easy to follow. The Review of Related Literature (RRL) is an essential part of the research process. It involves looking at what other researchers have already explored in relation to your topic. By examining their findings, you can gain a deeper understanding of the broader context of your study. The RRL helps you identify existing gaps or areas where your research can offer something new or unique. › THE TWO MAIN TYPES OF SOURCES USED IN RELATED LITERATURE (RRL) ARE: ⮞ PRIMARY SOURCES: These are original materials or firsthand accounts related to the research topic. Examples include: ​ Research articles ​ Thesis or dissertations ​ Interviews or surveys ​ Experiments and case studies​ ⮞ SECONDARY SOURCES: These sources provide analysis, interpretation, or summaries of primary sources.
