oppression

A quick definition of oppression:

Oppression is when someone in power treats others unfairly and unjustly. This can happen when a public official abuses their authority or when someone is forced to enter into an illegal contract. It can also happen in a corporation when minority shareholders are treated unfairly by those in control. Oppression is wrong and can cause harm to others.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The act of unfairly using power or authority over someone.

Examples:

A police officer using excessive force against a person who is not resisting arrest.
A government official denying someone their rights because of their race or religion.
A boss firing an employee for speaking out against unfair treatment.

These examples illustrate oppression because in each case, someone in a position of power is using that power to harm someone else. This harm can take many forms, such as physical violence, denial of rights, or loss of employment. Oppression is a serious issue that can have long-lasting effects on individuals and communities.
