Definition
Objectification is treating a person as a mere object or thing, rather than recognizing their full humanity. It involves stripping away their individuality, feelings, and worth. Think of it as reducing someone to their appearance or a specific trait, like a trophy 🏆. Objectification often leads to disrespect, dehumanization, and inequality. It can manifest in various forms, including sexual objectification and general devaluation. This undermines a person's dignity and autonomy.
