Social oppression is based on dominance and subordination, in which one group in society has the ability to maintain its relative advantage and exercize power over another group. Social group oppression can be based on poverty, gender, class, race, and other social groups or categories. Institutionalized oppression, sometimes also called systemic oppression, occurs when "established laws, customs, and practices systematically reflect and produce inequities based on one's membership in targeted social identity groups". Social oppression "could also mean denying people language, education, and other opportunities that might make them become fully human in both mind and body". Economic oppression takes place through divides in society between the haves and the have-nots. These divides were once entrenched through slavery, property rights, disenfranchisement, and forced displacement, practices in society that yielded differential treatment of people based on personal attributes.

Social oppression is where a singular group of society may take advantage of and exercise power over another group using dominance and subordination. In a social group setting, oppression may be based on many ideas, such as poverty, gender, class, race, or other categories. Oppression by institution, or systematic oppression, is when the laws of a place creates unequal treatment of specific social identity group. Another example of social oppression is when a specific social group is denied access to education that may hinder their growth and access in later life. Economic oppression is the divide between two classes of society that were once determined by basis of slavery, property rights, disenfranchisement, and forced displacement of livelihood. Each divide yielded various treatments and attitudes towards each class.
