The understanding of oppression
ABSTRACT Oppression and all its invisible forms keep us as a people divided why? In my paper I will be discussing the many forms of oppression and how to understand oppression and why it works as a whole to keep minorities at large subjugated without them even knowing it at times. to truly understand oppression one has to experience it. I mention in my paper many injustices about “African American” struggles and women struggles as well. To better grasp this idea of white privilege and male privilege one must first have to except the fact that there is an advantage race and a disadvantage race and it is clearly a man made “social construction” of what this society deemed right and ethical.
The understanding of oppression
The ideas that I posses that perpetuate the inequality of other’s is that different racial and ethnic groups are unequal in power, resources, prestige, and presumed worth. The basic reason is power, power derived from superior numbers, technology, weapons, property, or economic resources. Those holding superior power in a society (the majority group) establish a system of inequality by dominating less-powerful groups. This system of inequality is then maintained and perpetuated through social forces. It would make it difficult to recognize the ways we participate in transforming difference into equality because of the fact that, analyses of gender inequality attribute great importance to the economy. Gender inequality appears everywhere embedded in economic inequality, in the sense that a critical aspect of gender inequality involves unequal access to economic resources and positions. This relationship becomes clearer in more "advanced" societies where economic organization has become institutionally differentiated from kinship and political organization. Sometimes this unequal economic access is
