There are many different definitions of oppression. My definition of oppression is when a persons own rights are taken away by force and they do not have any say in whether or not they can keep them or not. The only thing that the person can do to get their rights back is fight for them.

I have to be honest and say that oppression has not affected me directly, however, it has affected me indirectly. I feel that oppression doesn't affect me directly; I do not change the way I think or act because of oppression in our world today. Every time I see movies when people are being oppressed it puts tears to my eyes and I feel very thankful for my rights, but the next day I forget about it, and don't think about it until I watch another movie like that. I feel bad...
