在英国,报纸如英文周刊 (UK daily newspapers) 有大量地方可以在左页的"边缘”(Op Ed or column space)里发现‘理性学者’,社会保守的人…还在对人物质化呢。”personification通常被定义为将抽象事物(object)具象化。比如说"People will continue to think of technology as something to fear."这种看法表示他们认为科技是一个强大的敌对势力,我们应该把它们当成人类敌人一样的物化来看待。它不仅仅用于科学上还没有客观性的概念上,还可以形容某个个人品质被物质化(身体化),或者是描述抽象名词例如人的思想,道德等等等都代表的特定个体等等这些将人和神或其他抽象概念相等同的做法是英文里一种非常常见的修辞手法叫做Personification. 在诗歌或者写作中经常会看到这个词,特别是古英文中尤为常见。现在常常用于电影电视里或者是演讲里面比喻我们应重视人文科学建设或强调社会主义核心价值中各种精神和思想的真正意义及真正存在形式。
