Privileges You May Not Recognize

First, I want to say that I had a hard time finding an article I could really write about. I could not find something that I really needed to say something about, which I found frustrating because there is a high need for people to recognize different privileges that exist in several facets of life. Then I came across a variety lists, lists that describe different privileges. The idea being if you identify with one of these descriptors you will or might benefit from the listed items. These lists also consist of items that you may not think of, in general, when discussing privilege or basic rights.

You might find some of these lists offensive and some include swear words. Please be warned when reading.

Now my comments on the article provided in the prompt. I feel like my lists that I found this support that. The way the laws are built for commuters on or in vehicles apply to all, but some laws just benefit one over the other much more. Same with the video, some students benefitted from their seats in the classroom more than other students. I think using these two prove the point that I was making with the above lists. There are different types of privilege and we need to be aware of this as we go into this mentoring job next year.
