Today’s modern society offers us the resolutions to many contradictions of the social image that is present today. Only a bit stronger engagement is needed to open the wider horizons of the real socio-political situation of society. An integral part of human society is both right and law, at first as a custom (common law) and later codified law. In history, we can observe the image of society through the legal norms of different legal systems, and what kind of regards to life, the right to life, and ultimately to human dignity had a certain civilization. As a postulate of this work, the purpose is to portray human rights, human dignity and a view on life, especially through the Teachings of the Catholic Church, with a brief focus on Jewishlearning in the Torah, on Roman law, and of course, on positive law and legal practices along the development of speech about dignity and the right to the human person’s life starting with the general view on speech about human life, through reflection on early Christian times, tothe speech about the dignity, and man created in the image of God.Talking about human rights and the dignity of a human person is not a grateful topic at all. Throughout history, human rights and the dignity of the human being have always been a stumbling block. In the cases of such a disruption, we might even say gross violations of human dignity and human rights; Evangelical doctrine, as a revelation that the Catholic Church inherits, is the key to defending and protecting the weakest ones.
