1. Objectification

   In social philosophy, objectification is the act of treating a person, as an object or a thing. It is part of dehumanization, the act of disavowing the humanity of others. Sexual objectification, the act of treating a person as a mere object of sexual desire, is a subset of objectification, as is self-objectification, the objectification of one's self. In Marxism, the objectification of social relationships is discussed as "reification".

1. objectification

   Objectification refers to the act of treating or regarding a person, a group of people, or even a non-human entity as an object, lacking in individuality, personality, or sentience. It typically involves viewing or treating someone based on a single characteristic or quality, often reducing them to a tool for another's purposes or devaluing their worth. The concept is commonly explored in the context of sexual objectification, where a person is reduced to a mere object of sexual desire, disregarding the individual's personality, dignity, and other human characteristics.

Examples of objectification in a Sentence

1. Bernie Sanders:

   The way we treat women in our country has been abysmal in almost every way. We are finally addressing the issue of sexual harassment, and we need to get it right, but the conversation we are having now is only the tip of the iceberg. It needs to be an ongoing movement of women and men that includes a national discussion about sexism, sexual harassment, objectification, inequality and abuse of power.

2. Ryan Mauro:

   The women genuinely believe their oppression is Allah's will and true freedom, on multiple occasions, I've seen Islamic State supporters online make the argument that females who cover their faces and bodies free themselves from the West's objectification of women. Their line is that the covering means you're judged and loved for who you are as a person, rather than what you look like.

3. Jean Kilbourne:

   When I was starting out, it took a while for me to convince even feminists that this was a serious issue, because feminists would say, 'Look, we're dealing with important issues like violence and equal pay, and we don't have time to worry about the image of women in advertising.' But my point was the image of women in advertising has an impact on all these things. The objectification of women leads to violence, and the stereotyping of women makes it less likely that women will get equal pay and decent jobs.
