1. objectify

   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. objectify

   To objectify means to treat or regard a person, animal, or concept as an object or a thing, typically by degrading it, stripping it of its individuality or dignity, or disregarding its personal rights or feelings. It often occurs in social contexts where people are reduced to physical attributes, utility, or stereotypes, rather than being acknowledged as complex individuals with agency and emotions. This term is frequently used in discussions about sexual objectification, commodification, and dehumanization.
