"Hay formas de opresión y dominación que se vuelven invisibles la nueva normalidad."

Michel Foucault

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, unfair treatment and control become so common that people don’t notice them anymore. This can happen in a society where certain actions or rules are accepted as just the way things are, without anyone questioning them. For example, in history, there were times when women couldn’t vote or work in certain jobs, and many people thought that was normal. Today, similar things can happen with issues like unequal pay or discrimination based on race or gender. People might get so used to these unfair practices that they stop seeing them as problems. To make a change, it’s important to stay alert and question things that seem unfair, even if everyone else seems to accept them. By paying attention and speaking out, people can help create a fairer world.
