Facts on Fabric of Oppression

Mmmm…..fabric of oppression, very interesting but only if I could of discussed it in class today. However, fabric of oppression according the article I read is some groups that are dominant or privileged by it and other groups that are targeted or oppressed by it. Very clear definition of fabric oppression, but do many individuals understand what it really means. Fabric of oppression touches base on gender, race, class and also different culture around us. Therefore, we are encountered by much oppression, which basically mean according to the article, a structural arrangement characterized by unequal access to resources, privilege and social power.
One of the oppression is called institutionalized oppression, which is basically the unfairness around society. There is legal and illegal, when it comes to institutionalized oppression. For an example women back then did not have a tremendous amount of opportunities, but just to stay at home and take care of the kids. There is also self perpetuating, but is difficult to change as a whole. There are times where there is power in fabric oppression, but those who do not receive power are called hegemony. Hegemony is taught in many ways especially through ones education in school and the media. Those who have access power in fabric of oppression are males who are white and very wealthy in their lifestyle.
Fabric of oppression is found in video games, especially the one that I am playing on my old Nintendo. There is always a certain group that is dominant while playing my video game. Individuals, who are interested in karate video game, would pick an Asian character over a Hispanic. There is a tremendous amount of stereotyping that occurs around us, but we never pay attention, because we are so caught up in society and what we grasp from the media on a daily basis.
