Every day I wake I give thanks to God that I live to see the next day because while I’m walking on this earth giving a next chance people are getting news that they only have a couple of months to live or some people just lost their loved one today. Being privileged is waking up every morning because not so many people get the chance to. Watching this video helped me understand different people’s points of view on what privilege means to them. This person describes privilege as when “some people have some things and other people don’t have things”. I most definitely agree with this meaning of privilege because things that I do have could make another person who doesn’t have it less privileged than me. What privilege means to me is Privilege means when a person has something of value that is denied to another person. 

This is why I try to be happy and thankful for everything I receive in life because there’s always someone out there who has it worse than me. Social media is one of the causes of why people are not thankful for what they have because it makes people focus on what they don’t have vs what they have. For example, somebody could have a Nissan but go on social media and see someone with a Lambo and feel like they are not where they are in life. But they should be thankful for even having the opportunity to own a car because not too many people do.
