Concept of Reputation - An Analysis

Law - Reputation

‘Glass china and reputation are easily cracked, but never well amended', Benjamin Franklin declared. Reputation plays a vital role in accessing the performance and ability to deliver reliable results in the society. It is believed to be an important personal and professional requisite for success which signifies the esteem that individual holds and which distinguishes them from others in a positive approach. Reputation is the current standing the person has gained from previous actions or refusal of actions in helping others. Human dignity is the basic element amongst other human rights and thus right to reputation comes under the basic inalienable right to enjoy a decent and dignified life. Defamation laws enables an individual to keep his reputation whenever it is attacked by other person. Defamation occur in two ways, libel or slander, where both are detrimental to a person's reputation. In a society, every person should behave in a particular way such as not to harm the right of others and specifically not indulge in the damage of other's dignity or reputation.
