Social and Economic Oppression in Paradise Now

The situation in the Middle East is drawn from various perspectives of American media and movies. Since culture is constantly changing and evolving, suppression is considered a global phenomenon, as Paradise Now focuses on social, economic and racial suppression. Mr. Dickinson said Hollywood's globalization industry trend is the pillar of advocacy of corporate ideology's hegemony (240). Cultural hegemony and movies and media are collectively responsible in the form of social and economic suppression like racial inequality.

Ann Cudd explained the main power of economic oppression as a repressive economy and direct and indirect force. Capitalism and socialism are not repressive by themselves, but they "push themselves in a unique way." She stressed that the direct power of economic oppression restricts opportunities for external oppression, including slavery, apartheid, employment discrimination, group-based harassment, opportunity inequality, new colonialism and government corruption We define it. This allows a dominant social group to maintain and maximize its assets by deliberately using subordinates that are economically inferior. Through indirect force (also called oppression), "oppressed men are chosen to make personal choices and strengthen their own oppression." People oppressed face even what they must decide against their social interest, even against their own interests.
