Food Zheng Reflection 3

This week’s articles made me realize how different each person in the world is. There are times when you think “why is this happening to me? I’m so miserable”, when in reality it may be a privilege just the fact that you’re going through that and not something much worse. There is also the fact, how unfair, as McIntosh’s article says, is this week’s articles made me realize how different each person in the world is. There are times when you think “why is this happening to me? I’m so miserable”, when in reality it may be a privilege just the fact that you’re going through that and not something much worse. There is also the fact, how unfair, as McIntosh’s article says, is the fact that many times just by having a certain type of color, or being a type of race, one gets more privilege than another. But why? I understand that this was based on a long time ago and society is so closed that this thought has not changed, but now I feel that everything should have changed. Having to suppress, or retain any person just for being the way they are, for liking the things they like or even for their background, is something that should have stayed in the past (I feel that it is even something that should never have happened, but we cannot travel in the past so that this does not happen) that is why we have to be a little more intelligent and be able to see our future, our beyond. Living a life where you can only satisfy others and not yourself, is a life that has no meaning. Because of that we are all different, to give our different opinions, like different things, and be able to differentiate ourselves from others. As it happens in the video, one of the characters, realizes what was really happening around him, he had said that at first he was taking it very lightly but then in the end he realized the true meaning of the “white privilege”.
