PART 2

Excerpt from Academic Journal:
Objectification Theory offers a testable framework for examining the consequences of sexual objectification for women-that is, “being treated as a body (or collection of body parts) valued predominantly for its use to (or consumption by) others” (Fredrickson & Roberts, 1997, p. 174). Sexual objectification occurs along a spectrum that includes (but is not limited to) sexualized gazing, unsolicited sexualized commentary, sexually objectifying media and pornography, sexual harassment and stalking, and contact sexual violence and rape (Davidson & Gervais, 2015;Fredrickson & Roberts, 1997;Roberts, Calogero, & Gervais, 2018;Swim, Hyers, Cohen, & Ferguson, 2001;Szymanski, Moffitt, & Carr, 2011). Objectification Theory proposes that sexual objectification experiences accumulate over time and foster a self-objectifying attitude, whereby girls and women psychologically and behaviorally invest in their appearance as a way of anticipating and managing how others will view and treat them (Roberts et al., 2018). …

Data show when consumption of hip hop/rap music increases so does self-objectification behavior, such as depression, anxiety and body dissatisfaction. (Schmidt, 2013).

Excellent posts are approx. 250 words, detailed, demonstrate critical and original thinking, show understanding of the assigned material, are well-argued, and written clearly. Note: for this forum, you will be unable to see other student posts.

Berlant defines citizenship as “a relation among strangers who learn to feel it as a common identity based on shared historical, legal, or familial connection to a geopolitical space” and that “[m]any institutional and social practices are aimed at inducing a visceral identification of personal identity with nationality” (37). Give an example of an institutional and/or social practice that induces identification of the personal with nationality, explaining how it does this, and the implications/ramifications of that inducing. Some examples: reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, attending a high school football game, festivals, food. Feel free to discuss non-US examples.
