Throughout the duration of this Introduction to Philosophy course, we have read and explored works of writing by many authors within the subjects of critical thinking, epistemology, social and political, and metaphysics and mind. Of all of the readings we have investigated this semester, Iris Marion Young’s ‘Five Faces of Oppression’ was the most intriguing. In this writing, Young creates objective criteria that is used to judge members of different groups. She also describes oppression as coming in five faces: exploitation, cultural imperialism, powerlessness, and violence. Both traditional and “new” usage of the term ‘oppression’ are mentioned, as well as the difference between oppression and discrimination.
