Advantages of internet

*You have information at your fingertips, and you don't even have to know how to spell, or know your ABCs.
* Someone out there knows the answers to everything you can think of.
*You can send mail across the world within minutes where snail mail used to take 3-4 days in the states and 2 weeks overseas.
*You are connected to a lot of people who have similar interests if you know the right place to find them on the internet. A lot more difficult in person.
                                                             

 disadvantage of internet 

*The Internet is impersonal. You cannot see someone smile or react to your news or words though they may type it (grin).
*You cannot always trust the answers you get over the internet when you are looking for information.
*You spend too much time in front of a machine, and not enough time in front of "real" people.
 *You need a credit card if you want to buy something either to pay a third party sight, or to pay direct the company you are interested in. IN person, you can always pay by cash.

Global Dignity Day

Dignity is a state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect.On this day, Young Global Leaders and other role models join thousands of volunteers to do Dignity Days. They speak to youth in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. Their aim is to instill a new, positive, inclusive and interconnected sense of value in young people that will guide them as they grow.At a Dignity Day session, facilitators – people who make the Dignity Principles their own – go into schools and talk with the pupils about dignity. Facilitators can be plumbers, health workers, bankers… in short, anyone that want to see young people become their best self can be a role model.

A typical Dignity Day session lasts about two hours. The facilitator usually starts by telling his or her own story about dignity. Then, the children are asked to define dignity in their own words. After discussing the Dignity Principles, the children tell their own stories in front of the class. Finally, they typically write a letter to themselves stating what they want to achieve for themselves and others through dignity. A year later, these letters are sent back to the students.

Our school even celebrated global dignity day,we gave a flower and a card which said "thank you"

to all our school peon's they were all so happy we wished every one a happy global dignity day. this is how i celebrated global dignity day.

I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.
John D. Rockefeller 
The Sixth Annual Global Dignity Day is scheduled for Wednesday, October 16th, 2013, and will be celebrated in over 50 countries around the world.

Inspiring Action on a Worldwide Scale

During the 2005 Forum of Young Global Leaders, John Hope Bryant sat down with HRH Crown Prince Haakon of Norway and Professor Pekka Himanen of the University of Art and Design Helsinki and Oxford University. The topic of their conversation was something even more basic than financial literacy and economic justice: it was the concept of universal human dignity.

Each felt that our world was on the verge of a great opportunity for change. But to make it happen would require a fundamental shift in the attitudes, actions, and public policies supported by government figures at every level—toward assuring the dignity of each human being under their leadership

Global Dignity is the brainchild of three friends, concerned global citizens who met as Young Global Leaders at the World Economic Forum: HRH Crown Prince Haakon (Norway), Professor Pekka Himanen (Finland) and founder of Operation HOPE, John Hope Bryant (United States).

The three friends realized that the one thing that everyone in the world could agree on, irrespective of their differences is: We all want our Dignity to be recognized. Dignity is the very foundation of our humanity. Dignity is universal. Dignity is also the source of human rights.

Dignity consists not in possessing honors, but in the consciousness that we deserve them.
