What does Anthropomorphism mean?

Post cover: What does Anthropomorphism mean?
This content has been automatically translated from Ukrainian.
Anthropomorphic - is a term that comes from the Greek words "anthropos" (human) and "morphe" (form) and means attributing human traits or characteristics to something that is not human (for example, an animal). The simplest example is animals in fairy tales that talk and have human traits. We often see anthropomorphism in everyday life, especially in religion, books, internet meme culture, marketing, television, anime, comics, and so on.
Even beyond animals, anthropomorphism can be seen in inanimate objects that acquire human characteristics (any objects that talk or have other traits inherent to humans).
Usually, mascots are anthropomorphic animals. There are even separate subcultures based on anthropomorphism, namely - furry.
