I experience privilege for the things I experience on a daily basis. Being able to afford food and housing is an example. After watching the video, I realized i’m more privileged than I thought. You don’t realize how lucky you are to be in a situation until it is compared with someone else’s. I sometimes learn to appreciate my privilege when thinking about the conditions people are in across the globe. Being In a major city full of opportunities is where many people dream to be. The video gave me a better understanding on what privilege means because it visually shows how it benefits people. You can be setback in life while others may have a head start because of their family, living condition, finances, etc.. This relates to white privilege, where white people have a head start in life automatically because of their skin tone.In Mcintosh reading, she admits that from a white person’s perspective, it is easy for them to forget how they are privileged. It wasn’t until she wrote down reasons why she is different from minorities that she understood why her privilege exists. After reading her reasons, it also made me aware of ways I’m oppressed. When I have children, my oppression can be passed down to them because of skin color, which is why I want to give them as much privilege as I can.  I’m oppressed in many ways also. Being a women and a minority means society views me differently than a white person. For example, shopping in luxury clothing shops means being followed around sometimes, even if you’re not doing anything wrong. Being turned down jobs that are predominantly white even though you’re qualified. I don’t come from a rich family, so i don’t have the luxury of not knowing what struggle means. In the reading “Oppression”, by Marilyn Fyre, It touches on how being a woman ties in with oppression. We are put in a bind, what she compares to a bird in a cage. No matter what we choose to do or think, we are oppressed for it. “But unlike the case of mens emotional restraint, women’s physical restraint is not rewarded. What do we get for it? Respect and esteem and acceptance? No. They mock us and parody our mincing steps.” (pg.16). Fyre differentiates how men are treated versus women, emphasizing why oppression against women is a way tougher experience.
