social domination

Social domination refers to the control or authority one group or individual has over others within a society, often maintaining power through economic resources, social norms, or institutional structures. It can involve influencing decisions, limiting opportunities, or shaping beliefs to benefit those in power. This dynamic can lead to inequalities, where some groups systematically have more privileges and access than others. Recognizing social domination helps us understand power imbalances and the importance of promoting fairness and equal rights within communities.
