'Objectification - To present as an object.'
So in relation to a person it is treating them as a thing without regarding there dignity.
According to the philosopher Martha Nussbaum, a person is objectified if they are treated:
- as a tool for another's purposes (instrumentality);
- as if lacking in agency or self-determination (denial of autonomy, inertness);
- as if owned by another (ownership);
- as if interchangeable (fungibility);
- as if permissible to damage or destroy (violability);
- as if there is no need for concern for their feelings and experiences (denial of subjectivity).
Then there is sexual objectification which is the main point of my project, this is treating/making a person as an object of sexual pleasure or a 'sex object'
Sexual objectification is a huge subject within the media and life in general, it causes controversy and different opinions. It is also a very important argument in feminism.
My aim is to explore ideas from every angle and display what my views are and find out what other views are.
