I Believe In Treating Others With Dignity

I feel that sharing videos of the needy getting help is rubbing them of their PRICELESS dignity.
In order words, we end up taking from them, more than we give them.

I am not sure it is done with intent on humiliating them - a respectful news person would just report on the news in a tactful manner.

@MarmeeMarch I'm ok if the beneficiary consents to it and it wasn't a condition to receiving the help.But we should be mindful of the fact that we all would require help of various kinds at some point.

@MaryN I suppose - but as you know this is the tech age - everybody owns a digital video camera - so if they are in a place that they should have a reasonable expectation of privacy then - yes no video.

Why do you feel this way?

@SW-User Because i have needs too. It may not be physiological but it's still a need and i would feel humiliated if someone picks up their phone and starts recording me because they are about to offer me some help.
