Suppression of dissent occurs when an individual or group which is more powerful than another tries to directly or indirectly censor, persecute or otherwise oppress the other party, rather than engage with and constructively respond to or accommodate the other party's arguments or viewpoint. When dissent is perceived as a threat, action may be taken to prevent continuing dissent or penalize dissidents. Government or industry〔Brian Martin, "''(Suppression of dissent ): what it is and what to do about it''". Science, Technology & Society, University of Wollongong.〕 may often act in this way. ==Types of suppression== Types of suppression include: # Direct action # Indirect actions # Self-censorship ''Direct action'' tries to silence the dissenter via factors or influences in a forthright manner, often coercive. ''Indirect action'' tries to silence the dissenter via intervening factors or influences, but not in a forthright manner. ''Self-censorship'' occurs when individuals are concerned about risking their employment status, standing in an academic course and/or ability to live without threat. It is a social action. Some dissenters fear direct actions taken against them. Self-censorship makes direct and indirect suppression unnecessary.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Suppression of dissent」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
