Today in communications class, our professor created an exercise by asking us when was the last time we felt like we were treated like an object. A moment of silence followed as the class pondered their responses, then it was broken as she started one of the most important lessons anyone could learn. With a dried blue marker, she listed two columns that read "People vs. Objects" and asked us to list their differences. The first one that came to our minds was feelings. She went on to describe how an object is measurable to a full extent, but a person carries immeasurable and limitless attributes like feelings, psyche, soul and mind. These are all part of a concept she called the "black box" because of its infinity. The next few bullet points were among the more common examples I didn't quite take to heart, but were still important. People change and grow while objects stay the same. People can act and react while objects only react. People need others to survive while an object can survive alone. Our professor got to number five and this one made me think. She stated that people are unique and irreplaceable, but objects are the opposite. Objects have the ability to take on monotonous forms, but two people are never quite the same, especially in relationships. You have the ability to physically substitute another person and replace them in their title, but every significant person in your life will continue to be a part of who you are and they aren't traits you can erase from your being. She continued to explain number six and the difference in their value. People carry an inherent value whereas an object has only an ascribed value. Objects are given a (worthless) value by people when it is needed, such as our cellphones and ascribed value is only means to an end. Inherent value is an end in oneself; people are valuable simply because of who they are. The last item she wrote on the board was an ability to reflect. An object is not aware or able to reflect upon itself while people are infinite with the thoughts we are able to ponder. In other words, we are limitless, but objects are not. After this depth of explanation, she asked the question again. We were able to respond with a better understanding of the definition and when we finished our stories, she continued the lesson. We've all been objectified, yet we objectify others because it is just too easy. We can't treat each other as if we are static, as if we are replaceable, as if our value is worthless. People are more than that and carry so much meaning within them and if you look at the big picture, this is why people are amazing and humanity is beautiful. Our bodies are condensed with so much capability; we have no boundaries. We cannot underestimate the depths of another because if we do...we become the objects. We become static, monotonous, replaceable, worthless. Treat people as people, because that's who they are and all these deserve to be.
