The Case for Privilege — Why Being Privileged is Not a Bad Thing
<p>The word “privilege” has taken on a negative connotation in today’s society. It can be challenging to have a constructive dialogue about it when people are quick to label others as “bad.”</p>
<p>But what exactly is privilege? And why is it seen as a bad thing?</p>
<p>Webster’s dictionary defines privilege as “a right or immunity granted as a peculiar benefit, advantage, or favor.” In other words, privilege is a set of advantages that someone has.</p>
<p>For example, being born into a wealthy family is a privilege. Having parents who are college educated is another form of privilege. Being white is a form of privilege. Each of these examples comes with its own set of advantages.</p>
