What makes something, whether words or an act, demeaning (more)?

By definition:

Cause a severe loss in the dignity of and respect for (someone or something).
Do something that is beneath one’s dignity. With the definition in mind, what makes something beneath one’s dignity? What makes something disrespectful? How do you define something to be demeaning?

Answer #1

When it puts an individual or group down for whatever reason and disrespects or embarrasses them.

Answer #2

Perception - perception determines the fait of all that is taken in - it could be by word (if the word is perceived to be hostile) or by sound ( whether the sound is transfered in such a way that its perceived as a threat) or by illusion (perception of an object). In one language the actions or words can be deemed (perceived) as hostile; however, in another language it could be deemed (perceived) as friendly. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Answer #3

Much easier to answer well if you give us the background context, the real-life situation that leads you to ask, instead of dealing only with abstractions.

Answer #4
