Discussion
Assertion (A) : Dehumanization is the result of an unjust order.
Reason (R) : Because that endanger violence in the oppressors.
Answer: A
Both statements are true and the Reason correctly explains the Assertion.
The pair follows Paulo Freire's argument in Pedagogy of the Oppressed: dehumanization is not a given destiny but the result of an unjust social order, and that order breeds violence in the oppressors, which in turn dehumanizes the oppressed. (The paper's 'endanger' stands for 'engender'.)
In this account the violence the unjust order produces in the oppressors is precisely how it dehumanizes people, so the Reason explains the Assertion. That rules out the option saying it does not, and both options declaring one statement false.
