“When people are intimidated about having their own opinions, oppression is at hand.”
— Jimmy Carter

Simplified Meaning:
When people are too scared to say what they really think, it means someone or something is being unfair and controlling. Imagine you're in a classroom, and the teacher punishes anyone who disagrees with them. Students will stop sharing their own ideas because they're afraid of getting in trouble. This creates an environment where only the teacher's view matters, and everyone else's voice is silenced. In real life, this happens in certain governments or workplaces where people are scared to speak out. To avoid this, it’s important to encourage everyone to speak freely and listen to different opinions. This way, everyone feels valued and fair treatment is maintained.
