On Terminological DIGNITY for HUMAN BEINGS: A Plea

by Francisco Gomes de Matos, a peace linguist, co-founder of the World Dignity University

When to HUMAN BEINGS  as “human capital” scientists refer

A questionable, materialistic phrase they prefer

 

When HUMAN BEINGS  as “human resources” scientists describe

To  HUMANKIND the condition of  “means” they ascribe

 

When HUMAN BEINGS  as “assets” scientists metaphorize

It is persons  as “values” that they prioritize

 

How  can scientists do terminological justice to our HUMANITY?

By referring to HUMAN BEINGS with appropriate terminological DIGNITY

 

If we want terminologically to edify

let´s use concepts-terms that HUMAN BEINGS always dignify
