The theories of Paulo Freire on oppression are only theoretical. I speak about this being yet on page 50 of the book but while what he speaks is true, it is only useful to a theoretical purpose. Any application of the deliverance from oppression is actually conflict resolution. Conflict resolution is important and is important to the topic of oppression but there is no person without the dehumanizing effects of hierarchy and oppression that has ever lived.

Paulo Freire’s views of oppression and enlightenment are massively useful for political and social oppressive purposes. There is no ultimate escape from conflict, hence the dehumanizing tendencies Freire discusses are human practices gone to an extreme. Economic capital is an extreme developed from human capital. Socially controlled and passed through generation hierarchy is distorted by the growing disparages in economic capital, social capital, and human capital.

Oppression needs to be addressed because oppression is rampant, and we can do this through enlightenment and conflict resolution. A society without exacerbated hierarchy would be one where people are equally enlightened and is a worthy quest. Therefore we need to first address oppression through assertion and then facilitate continuous proper assertion. This does not imply a government policy or mandate a specific curriculum but a youthful encouragement of identity without the excessive disparages in hierarchy. 

Being frank this means oppression is conflict not asserted over a period of time. Oppression is to conflict, what acceleration is to speed; violence is to jerk.

This is why Pedagogy of the Oppressed is an important book.
