If you think about it, no matter who you are or where you come from, we all have privileges even within our own culture. Privileges is a specific right, advantage, or immunity given or available only to a particular person or group. Don\u2019t get me wrong; I am not saying that it is not an issue; some people have more privilege than others.\u00a0 Privileges have caused unfair moments in history that has even impacted the lives of many in a very negative way. To get more into detail, let me explain with this example. For example, I could be considered privilege if I, as a Dominican man, attend a Dominican restaurant, and the service I get is better than a white male that attend. That\u2019s not always the case, but it can happen. I personally had experience that situation where I was treated better than other. That is something I can consider as my privilege. Another example is a white male who could be considered a privilege if he attends Harvard University vs. a Hispanic male. This example demonstrates how two people from different groups could have privileges on different occasions. Furthermore, to tap into it, the more in-depth compound privilege could have a tremendous impact on social groups. For example, the minorities groups especially, the black community has been oppressed for many years causing a gap of inequality; That is why on our demographic and data\u00a0 we see how there is a lot of black people who are uneducated, and not able to sustain a \u201cgood life\u201d.<\/p>\n
I also experienced microggregation because I am a man and sometimes, I help out my mother with the house shores. My cousins always made fun of that, they said \u201cthat\u2019s for girls man. Or aren\u2019t you supposed to be the man of the house?\u201d I always tried to help out around the house because I know that gender does not limit people to help out and still be useful. Stereotypes always play big roles in this situation\u2019s, it is our job to break those ignorant thoughts.<\/p>\n
