Privilege is an advantage for a person or specific group of people. Privilege in my life is being a first generation hispanic woman in the United States. In Ecuador, I would have lived a life that most girls have over there, I would have been in school then gotten pregnant and have to find a way to support my child over there. The city my family comes from that is the way many of the young girls live and they must cater to their husband. I am very privileged due to the fact I live in New York with amazing opportunities for education and income. My life in the United States is privileged because I have a room over my head, my parents support me, and there is alway food. Oppression is being treated poorly or prevented from have the same opportunities as others. Oppression in my life was portrayed to me at a very early age in my life when I was just 8, I went to a scholarship meeting in the city for colleges and I felt I was not welcomed in like other students being the only hispanic girl in my group. I felt as I was ignored and invisible in a way. This was not my experience but I had a classmate that was told by my catholic all girls school to not wear her headscarf which was part of her religion and they suspended her for a week because she would not go against her religion. This was a huge form of oppression due to the fact they wanted push their beliefs on her or push her away from hers. New York is a “melting pot” for many different races and religions but still so many everyday feel some type of oppression. The video has risen my views for oppression to be for many people not just one group. Many people may feel that they have been oppressed at one point of their lives. After watching the video and reading the articles, oppression and privilege are very much similar just in different point of views. As in when you are privileged you see yourself as above someone due to your circumstances and in oppression you are seen as beneath someone due to what they have that you don’t.
