"The interconnected mechanisms of oppression bear many similarities across time and across earth's geography. They include genocide, cultural genocide, policy-created poverty, and numerous actions and inactions that create and sustain systems of dominance. At the heart of oppression is structural power. While individuals can exert social and cultural power over other individuals, it is structural power in systems such as education, governance, law, and health that cements and sustains oppression over time and over geographies. The cycle of oppression, described in more detail below (updated 2nd Edition version), shows how individual acts of stereotyping and discrimination form an integral link in creating and sustaining systemic oppression. As Iris Marion Young (1990) tells us, oppression refers to "the vast and deep injustices some groups suffer as a consequence of often unconscious assumptions and reactions of well-meaning people in ordinary interactions, media and cultural stereotypes, and structural features of bureaucratic hierarchies and market mechanisms."--.
