Freedom+from+oppression

Freedom from oppression can be demonstrated through the actions one undertakes to be rightfully liberated from any overruling power or significant figure; exercising unjust and ruthless control. Closely examining today’s society and past history there have been many significant figures which of whom have devoted their entire lives to essentially bring about change in their society and most importantly their country including well known Martin Luther King, Jr ;Malcolm X ; Emma Willard ; Rosa Parks and many more. Each individual mentioned not only brought about change that would impact on their lives but largely to their future generations and the state of condition to their country. Mills states “**the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community against his will, is to prevent harm to others**” closely relating to the heroic examples as above that demonstrated such power which would ultimately lead to freedom from oppression.
