Talk:exploit

There is some subtlety here that does not seem to be conveyed in the definition.

There is a negative connotation, which implies that something bad is happening to the object of exploitation There is a positive connotation, which implies constructive exploitation.

I don't feel like the complexity of this word is coming through.

Sense of "to forcibly deprive (someone) of something to which she or he has a natural right." This is more specific than the general definition, and I'm wondering if anyone can find examples of it being unambiguously used to refer to natural rights. פֿינצטערניש (Fintsternish), she/her (talk) 13:02, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Nevermind; I've just noticed that the problem is with the wording of the second definition, and that the first definition refers to exploiting resources. פֿינצטערניש (Fintsternish), she/her (talk) 13:03, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
