Natural Oppression?

For this week I really want to touch on Bloodchild by Octavia Butler even though it was read during that class.  Bloodchild was a really interesting read.  It really gives a different spin on the whole social class thing, if that is an accurate way to describe it.  Its about how human crash landed on another planet, and with the help of another species were able to exist on the planet.  However the cost for the ability to survive was basically the enslavement of their race for the sole purpose of birthing the young of said other species.

Now I can only guess what the majority thinks about this stuff, but honestly it seems normal that the people in power would have a grip on those who don’t.  It may not be right, but its natural for this kind of social exchange to occur.  We still see it today and we will see it existing for very long time far longer than any of our lifespans.

It was good at describing what the actual “oppression” was.  Masked by being nice, and you should help us because we helped you, and anyone who disagrees can go away.  So in a nutshell, its our way or the highway, and when the highway isn’t a choice, well…  

With all that said, I can’t stop thinking that this is a natural occurrence.  Will this always exist?  Is it holding some kind of balance?  Just like there is the cycle of life, will this cycle of oppression continue to happen.  I’d imagine that it will happen proportionally, like the “oppression” will not actually seem like oppression but there will be some kind of advantage one has over the other.  This story proves it, although they care for them they do hold the human’s lives in their… claws?
