As for whether dignity comes from within or from the approval of others, I believe it comes from within and is only proved with the approval of others. A person must first be very dignified in order to have dignity. Being dignified comes from oneself and that's why I believe dignity truly comes from within. However, though dignity does come from within, what's having dignity without others recognizing it? Since without recognition, a person is still, unfortunately, not known to have dignity. So, I think dignity definitely also comes from the approval of others. And when a person has the approval of others, that person often also tries to improve even more and remind him or herself that he or she must always act with dignity and treat everyone with dignity. So I believe dignity comes from both withing and also from the approval of others.
