• In what ways do you experience privilege?

As an immigrant I think that I have been very privileged in my life. Being in America I have a lot of things to access that people in my home country do not have. I am able to have free education, food, and access to better health care. Even having a phone at a young age. In my home country you can not have a good education or go to school if you’re not rich or have the money to pay for it every month. Like what she says in the video, i have access to water if i am taking a shower, I will take how long i want it. But some states in my home country have limited water to use every day. I also have the privilege to say so in my life what I want and don’t, there are people who I know that do not have. I have a lot of privilege given to me as being a woman over man.

• In what ways do you experience oppression?

Being a muslim my experience of oppression. Is people judging me as being a muslim because they think that I am a terrorist or people trying to see what is inside or under my hijab asking me if I am hot or not. And some people think that I’m way too dark for my skin complexion. 

• How does watching this video and doing the readings help you define the concepts of privilege and oppression and what are your current definitions

After watching the video and doing the reading. I have a better understanding of privilege and oppression. Because I did not know the privilege I have. I think that the My perception of privilege is still being determined. Cause i know that people who have a lighter skin complexion have more privilege than me. I did not know much about oppression, how we are treated differently because of our sexuality, age, race, gender, and religious belief.
