Oppression has been a recurring theme in the study of human nature for the past hundred years. Marilyn Frye states that the experience of oppressed people is that the living of one's life is confined and shaped by forces and barriers... (Frye 50). People are getting oppressed everyday and they continually experience this prejudicial system despite the fact that it victimizes them. Oppression has somehow become so usual that most people have come to regard it as a normal part of everyday life. It takes forms in a number of ways we are about to touch three of them: oppression of the homosexual, of women, and of the poor. This paper tackles how these people are subjugated in their own respective ways, and how the more dominant unit of the society exercises their power on these dominated people.
