Hello and welcome to Six Minute English, I'm Neil.
And I'm Sam.
And in this program we're looking at the word objectification.
Objectification is when we reduce people to objects.
An example of this is advertising in the media,
and in particular, the way women have been shown.
impossibly attractive and impolausibly perfect models.
In adverts and in movies and on TV,
you are much more likely to see naked or half naked women than men.
Objectification can lead to issues in society,
such as inequality and discrimination.
Objectification a women is a problem.
But what about the objectification of men?
Before we hear more, it's time for a question.
Today's question is, on British TV, in which decade was a completely naked man first seen?
Was it A, the 1940s?
B, the 1950s, or C, the 1960s?
What do you think, Sam?
