Reading reflection three

These readings discuss and Define what White Privilege is and discuss Oppression in any form. These readings made me understand white privilege and Oppression because I have never dealt with Oppression or privilege and never truly understood what the term privilege meant. Still, the reading “White Privilege unpacking the invisible knapsack” gave us different ways to define privilege, for example, not only the term white privilege but men’s privilege as well, also from a cultural standpoint. The second reading on Oppression stuck out because it gave me insight into how a person feels about being oppressed and what it means. I lived in a bubble growing up; I would go to school and come right back home, so I never really saw Oppression firsthand, and I never experienced and knock on wood that I don’t ever experience it, so this reading gave me a different perspective on how people are pressed in their daily lives. It makes me grateful that I haven’t had to go through those types of things.
