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
