Jung YeonYeon
 “The domination and oppression of the powerless by the powerful constitute an unbroken heritage that lives on even in today’s democratic society supposedly based on freedom and equality. People learned to accept as normal the tyranny, both economic and physical, of the wealthy over the poor and rather blame themselves and the station of their birth for their lot in life. This phenomenon not only persists into our time, but is, in fact, accelerating at a rate that outpaces the progress of civilization itself. People look down on those lesser in wealth, rank or education as hierarchical inferiors, even when they themselves do not necessarily belong to the social elite.” |
