OBJECTIFICATION AND OPPOSITIONAL
IDENTITY
In Week 2, you learned about stigma and privilege. Privilege results in preferential treatment, and
stigma results in negative treatment. Stigma involves objectification, or treating people as if they
are objects and members of a category rather than as individuals. In the A Class Divided video clip,
you saw the teacher Jane Elliott use an exercise in her third grade classroom to teach students
about discrimination. She used discrimination as the overarching term. Here discrimination
includes objectification, stigma, and privilege. When people encounter discrimination, they may
redefine their identity. In this Discussion, you will consider how identity can be redefined as a
result of objectification. In addition, you will address the concept of oppositional identity, which
occurs when individuals embrace the way they are objectified and act in a way that reinforces the
objectification.
