First of all, some ways that oppressed people experience different levels and systems of oppression are by treating someone cruelly because you don’t want them to go to school. This document is about terrorist not letting Afghan girls get an education, treating  women so unfair that the terrorist control them and if they try to go to school they would throw acid to their face and they throw grenades at their schools. This document is an article on a website called CNN.com titled “Acid attacks, poison: What Afghan girls risk by going to school”  written by Allie Torgan on March 17, 2016. In the article it says “Terrorists will stop at nothing to keep Afghan girls from receiving an education.” This quote shows that the Afghan girls are in a bad situation and dealing with bad things just for going to school and learn what they need because they want to be a  better person. The oppressions that they are experiencing are economic oppression and interpersonal oppression because terrorist are oppressing the girls just by going to school to get what they need and the terrorist behaving bad with the girls by bombing their school and throwing acid at their face.

Second of all, some ways that oppressed people experience different levels and systems of oppression are by earning a little bit of money just because of your race, sex and ethnicity.

This graph shows that woman from every race are getting a low payment than men because woman in total get “$657” and the total for “men is $819”.
