	Oppression
		Oppression is the negative outcome experienced by people targeted by the arbitrary and cruel exercise of power in a society or social group.
		A hierarchy of oppression is a ranking (hierarchy) of relative oppressions according to arbitrariness and cruelty, or according to the perceived negative effects on oppressed communities.
		Hierarchies of oppression are seen by many human rights advocates as problematic, though hierarchies of oppression are often widespread even when unstated or unconscious.

	Nazism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He concluded that there was a racial, religious, and cultural hierarchy, and he placed "Aryans" at the top as the superior race while Jews and "Gypsies" (the Roma) were people at the bottom.
		This was the given rationalization for the Nazis' later oppression and elimination of Jews, Gypsies, Czechs, Poles, the mentally and physically handicapped, homosexuals and others not belonging to these groups or categories that were part of the Holocaust.
		They argue that one crucial consequence of national divisions is that they lead to wars of aggression, waged for the interest of the ruling class.

	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Exponential hierarchy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In computational complexity theory, the exponential hierarchy is a hierarchy of complexity classes, starting with EXP:
		Unlike the analogous case for the polynomial hierarchy, the time hierarchy theorem guarantees that these inclusions are proper: that is, there are languages in EXP but not in P, in 2EXP but not in EXP and so on.
		The union of all the classes in the exponential hierararchy is the class ELEMENTARY.

	Western Concepts of God [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		After enumerating a hierarchy of excellencies (things to be "preferred") Augustine affirms that God "lives in the highest sense" and is "the most powerful, most righteous, most beautiful, most good, most blessed" (On the Trinity, XV, 4).
		Over the neo-Platonic notion of a hierarchy of reality in which lower existences are less real and a mere shadow of the divine, Aquinas accepted gradations of form and matter.
		Atop the hierarchy is God as pure form and no matter.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Martin Luther
		Johann Eck, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ingoldstadt, by common consent acknowledged as one of the foremost theological scholars of his day, endowed with rare dialectical skill and phenomenal memory, all of which Luther candidly admitted before the Leipzig disputation took place, innocently became involved in the controversy.
		These "Obelisci" ("obelisks", the odd printer's device for noting doubtful or spurious passages) were submitted to the bishop in manuscript form, passed around among intimates, and not intended for publication.
		The hierarchy and priesthood are not Divinely instituted or necessary, and ceremonial or exterior worship is not essential or useful.

	Intro
		But he also suggests relevant experiments, as does the younger experimentalist Josep Call, for investigating non-human primates’ understanding of intention and of social norms.
		Boehm hypothesizes that an ancestral regime of despotic social dominance and fearful submission led in the human line to successful collective action to intentionally suppress tyrants and bullies in nomadic bands — like Chomsky, seeing opposition to such ‘forms of oppression, hierarchy, domination and authority’ as characteristic of morality (Chomsky, 1988, p.
		Bruce Knauft, a cultural anthropologist who has long been developing theories related to Boehm’s, stresses, as does the primatologist Bernard Thierry, the difference language makes in enabling the sharing of explicit norms, but argues that symbolic communication had been coevolving with brain enlargement even during our Homo erectus past.
