Oppression Photographs with Summaries

oppression n - the exercise of authority or power in a burdensome, cruel, or unjust manner.



This picture is representing oppression because it is telling people that all of the vehicles must fit in the marked stalls [the parking spaces]. That is oppression because that is unfair to the people who's car is smaller or bigger than the stalls. Where else are they supposed to park? I think the smoking sign is oppression too. I don't support smoking but some people love it and it's unfair to them if they can't do as they would like.






This photograph is representing oppression because it is telling people where they have to swim or surf. They don't have the choice where they get to swim. Why do they have to go to certain areas to swim or surf? It is the same water, same ocean.
