The article by Matthew Hutson, Are You Looking at Me, tends to criticize certain practices including beauty fashion as well as pornography. He explains that such actions expose people’s nudity as they pursue to impress other people. He continues to indicate that “naked porn stars are also seen as having less competence…” That is an indication that nudity is usually perceived as a negative aspect especially when done in public. The article articulates that children that are under the age of sixteen years should be denied the chance to take part in activities that involve the body and fashion exposure. That is due to the fact that such events will eventually lead them to engage in sex. However, they should be encouraged to take their studies without interference. The author has used several techniques to bring out his theme including contrast, definition, and research among others. The author uses contrast, definition, and research to argue that viewing a person naked makes one more concerned about the person’s body rather than what is in their heads and objectification has become a major topic of discussion across the globe.
The author has used the definition in order to bring the reader to the light that there is a direct correlation between the perception of one’s cognitive competence and sensitivity of one’s emotions. The author of the article uses a unique approach to developing the theme. The author uses an approach that is in contrast to people’s popular belief. That is when people objectify, they don’t treat others as objects having any intelligence or being emotional. He tries to bring out the idea that people tend to perceive others as having less minded overall, although they possess a diverse type of mindset. According to the author, objectification can be regarded as dehumanization. In his use of objectification, he tries to suggest that there is no more than to “focus on the body.” That is a phenomenon that becomes as part of individual responsibility towards one’s view of the shirtless torso, looking at pornographic images and videos and thinking about an individual that is mentally deficient.
The author used contrast to explain that a person may not be satisfied with the definition given by the author concerning pornography. That is even through a facile phenomenological study that suggests that an individual’s response to pornography can be regarded as vastly diverse from his or her response to thoughts about another person’s heart rate or structure of the bones. Nussbaum’s quote found in the article states that “in a sexual context, men attribute imagined, though quite specific, mental states to women.” It is evident that men fail to do that to Michael throughout the experiment that has been discussed by Gray and other authors. One is left with the question as to what objectification is all about. That is used by the author in order to create suspense in the mind of the reader. It also introduces the question as to what is meant by focusing on the body. In other words, the author found the need to maintain secrecy. It seems that adding feminist literature could have worked in the analysis despite the fact that it is not in any agreement with the objectification concept.
From the use of research by the author, it can be deduced that people spend much of their time pondering minds of other individuals despite the fact that it is difficult to experience the same in a direct way. It is also a suggestion that whenever people get it right then it only becomes a mental construct. The author tries to indicate that in most cases, people guess all that other people think or feel. However, sometimes people get it all right and sometimes they don’t get it right. Going by the fact
