The underlying concept in Freire’s Pedagogy of
the Oppressed (1972) is the fact that domination, aggress
ion, and violence are
inherent in all humankind and society. Freire explained that most of people have
experienced some kinds of oppression or what is akin to oppression despite race,
ethnicity, class, and gender, there is the tendency that people become o
ppressed and
even, by themselves, oppress other people.
