Assignment #9

Oppressed people means people who have faced cruel or unjust treatment that has been prolonged. A system is an organized way of doing something and oppression is cruel and unjust treatment that is prolonged so when you get systems of oppression it is an organized way of oppressing people. Levels of oppression means ways of oppression that oppress you. A way oppressed people experience different levels and systems of oppression is when you get organized into a group because of the things they need , make , and share. Also, people go through different levels and systems of oppression because of rules that describe how decisions are made and who has the authority to make them. Lastly, oppressed people go through levels and systems of oppression because of the relationships they have with one another.

To begin with, one way oppressed people experience systems of oppression is when they go through political oppression. Political oppression is an example of how oppressed people face different systems of oppression because the terrorists have decisions and rules over the girl and if they don’t follow the rules they get punished. Another way oppressed people face levels of oppression is when they face interpersonal oppression. This is an example of how oppressed people face different levels of oppression because the terrorists throw acid in the girls faces just for going to school. This document is about how terrorists treat young ladies in Afghan who want to receive an education. This document is an article on the internet called, “Acid Attacks Poison: What Afghan Girls Risk By Going To School.”This article was written by Allie Torgan on March 17,2016. A quote from this document that describes systems of oppression is, “In their eyes a woman is an object that they can’t control, they are scared that when these girls get an education they will become aware of their rights.” This quote proves how oppressed people experience the different Systems of Oppression because they have to face terrorist torturing them everyday just for trying to get an education. This quote also reveals how oppressed people face different systems of oppression because they don’t have a decision if they want to go to school or not and they also don’t have authority over their decisions.

Another way oppressed people experience levels of oppression is when they go through institutional oppression. Institutional oppression is oppression that happens because of laws , rules , and policies. Also, oppressed people also face systems of oppressions like social systems. Social systems organize people based on the relationships they have with one another. This document is about how prisons figure out how many people are going to come in contact with law enforcement and how many prisons they need to make just by looking at the way the kids behave in school. This document is a quote from an article on the internet titled, “Understanding the School-to-Prison Pipeline.” This article was created by Nicki Lisa Cole in April 25 ,2017. A quote from this document that explains institutional oppression and Social oppression is , “Having a zero tolerance policy… that means a school has zero tolerance for any kind of misbehavior or violation of school rules.” The evidence I quoted proves how oppressed people face different systems of oppression because they go to school with rules that have zero tolerance for any misbehavior. The evidence I quoted also proves how oppressed people face levels of oppression because the oppression happens because of the laws, rules, and policies.
