  • 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?
