Objectification- The treatment of a human being as a thing, disregarding his/her personality or sentience. Capture a human as a non-sentient object. Philosopher Martha Nussbaum[1] has argued that something is objectified if any of the following factors is present:

Instrumentality – if the thing is treated as a tool for one's own purposes;
Denial of autonomy – if the thing is treated as if lacking in agency or self-determination;
Inertness – if the thing is treated as if lacking in agency;
Ownership – if the thing is treated as if owned by another;
Fungibility – if the thing is treated as if interchangeable;
Violability – if the thing is treated as if permissible to damage or destroy;
Denial of subjectivity – if the thing is treated as if there is no need to show concern for the 'object's' feelings and experiences.

Note: For this challenge we will not be including sexual objectification.

I get the idea, but wouldn't have a clue how to do such a shot. Do you have any examples you could post?

Indeed, and at least one good example of what could be done. I must admit I have taken Judi's ideas a few times.

I'm all for this challenge, and I'm intrigued that you(Leroy) would add that note to it.
