What is it called when you treat someone like an object?
Objectification involves viewing and/or treating a person as an object, devoid of thought or feeling. Often, objectification is targeted at women and reduces them to objects of sexual pleasure and gratification.
What God says about treating others?
“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” The Good News: This is literally “the golden rule” of the Bible. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. In other words, if you want to be treated with kindness, be kind to others.
What does it mean when a person treats you as an object?
God does tho, he’ll deal with them. They regard other people as objects, they don’t value the other persons feelings. They lack empathy. If someone you liked is treating you that way then it means they have no respect for you, which may be something you find it hard to accept, but you should accept it and leave this person.
Why are people treated in ways they don’t like?
People are treated in ways they don’t like because: 1) On occasion, they receive the love they want on a limited basis, and they put up with poor behavior the rest of the time to get a crumb of love at some point in the future; or 2) Their self-esteem is so low, they feel (consciously or subconsciously) that this is all they are going to get.
How do people protect themselves from other people?
In order to protect themselves from others they put them at a distance from them. This allows them to see the other people as things or objects that can be treated without having to consider their feelings (if I empathize with you and hurt you, I also hurt myself).
Why do we objectify other people?
Many of us use objectification at some time or another. Objectifying other people deliberately is a convenient method of avoiding the discomfort of empathy and helps us avoid feelings of guilt or shame when we do things that break our values.
