Question Answered step-by-step A couple of our essays, historically and for this week in… A couple of our essays, historically and for this week in particular, have focused specifically on the concept of oppression and subordination. Do you think that those who are oppressing and subordinating are doing it on purpose? In other words, are women, the poor, non-whites and the disabled intentionally being subjugated? Are those in power actively trying to maintain status quo to keep their power or are they simply going with the flow and mimicking the socialization of the greater culture around them?   If so, in what ways? If you don’t think so, please justify your answer. In keeping with the bird cage metaphor, please explain how subtle nuances in behavior and language can contribute to oppression and subordination. Further, how it is that the oppressed can at times contribute to their own oppression via language, mannerisms and their way of looking at the world?
