After the readings, it has given me a better understanding of what privilege is and what oppression is. Before reading these readings I was a bit skeptical to say that I am privileged because I did not have the best understanding of what privilege is. Now that I do have a better understanding of that privilege is, I understand that I am privileged to even in the simple ways. To my understanding, Privilege is having access or advantages that others may not have. I am privileged because I have a roof over my head, I can walk, I have access to education and I have food to eat, ETC. While in the case of oppression, I have always known that I was being oppressed. this reading just confirmed it even more. The reason I know I have been oppressed is because I have been treated unfairly due to the color of my skin, my mental illness, and even where I come from. My reason is a good way to define oppression. In my opinion, oppression means is having someone cruelly mistreating you because of your race, gender, age, or in my case your mental health. Being oppressed is by far the hardest experience I have ever had to go through because it made me very unsure and confused about myself. Not knowing what to define with really made me wonder who I really am. I have learned from these readings and the video never to take advantage of what you have because there are people without and wish they can have access to things that you are taken advantage of.
