For another outside reading, I analyzed Walter Ashe’s 2002 article entitled Dominant Cultures, Oppression, and Other Societal Issues Affecting the Identity Development of
Diverse Populations which argued that the oppressed not being able to think for themselves in relation to culture, art, and politics. Those who disregard the world and world events around them and do not participate in our society’s voting procedure do not think for themselves and never truly advance through any ranks of the country’s economic statues. Although this is a very vague argument attributed to Ashe, I see some inherent truths in it. The oppressed’s future is many times regulated by the oppressor, but one is not strictly confined to a future of being powerless. Culturing oneself with art and various religions is necessary in order to properly view the world with great subjectivity.
