Oppression

Azar Nafisi and Maggie Nelson both address the issue of the ideology of art in their respective works, Reading Lolita in Tehran, and “Great to Watch.” Nafisi’s work focuses on whether or not one can use art as an escape to an imaginary world of their own ideologies.

myself awoken from the sanctuary of childhood. All alone and unable to hide behind the genuine ignorance of innocence, I was forced to confront the realities of my parent's divorce; realities in which, exposed my mother's lifelong struggle against oppression. It was through my mother's stories that I began to see her lack of autonomy as the byproduct of the inequitable and patriarchal conditions of India, the country in which she was born and raised. Although it was dispiriting to listen to my…

reigned and there was a constant promise of a better life. When my mother and I came to the United States, I was just a little girl who was embarrassed to speak English and had been uprooted from the only home I ever knew. I was unaware of any form of oppression, oblivious to different nationalities and ethnicities other than the ones I had seen which were Indian and Islam. The lightest person I had ever known was a Kikuyu woman who was the talk…

we must acknowledge their strengths, resiliency, and empower them by showing our concern by making sure that all women of all races and ethnicities feel socially included and not excluded. ` I can write five reaction papers on women and gender oppression because it is a very relevant topic in social work.

You are strolling through the streets and as you are walking through messiness you see a lot of different people. Some of them may be Europeans and Asians, others may be Americans and Africans. Some may be a company director, who hasten to a business meeting. Others may be ordinary workers, who want to have a family supper after a long, busy day. All these people look very different. They all have their own story of life with some problems, different experiences and knowledge. At that moment you…

“A Vindication of the Rights of Woman” During the period of revolutionary change in Europe, Mary Wollstonecraft wrote “A vindication of the Rights of Woman” as an attempt to show the oppression of men against women. Wollstonecraft accurately vindicates the rights of woman, by stating “Women are told from their infancy…. softness of temper, outward obedience and scrupulous attention…. will obtain for them the protection of man, and should they be beautiful, everything else is needless, for, at…

Charles Martin’s poem establishes president Guatemala’s fear of those he condemned to death uprising against him. ‘London’ (1794) was published 200 years prior to ‘Easter Sunday’, communicating a similar idea of civil instability and political oppression. In this time frame of the 1700s the world was captivated by the events of the French revolution, a model for how ordinary, disadvantaged people could revolt against the monarchy and aristocracy, using violence and murder to overthrow those in…
