ALL questions need to be answered thoroughly, clearly and grammatically correct. You are constructing paragraphs ( 4-5 sentences!) not bullet points.
1. How did Peggy McIntosh define privilege?
2. Identify at least two areas of privilege that Peggy McIntosh listed that surprised/interested you and discuss why.
3. Identify at least two areas of privilege shown in the $100 Race video that were not listed by Peggy McIntosh. What does this suggest about privilege?
4. Can you identify at least
one
area in which you personally experience privilege?
· If yes, explain how this is privilege.
· If no, clearly explain how you lack even one area of your life that benefits you compared to someone else (Note: this is extremely unlikely that any student should respond as having no privilege so beware of choosing this response.)
5. Provide at least two areas of privilege that you can think of that were not presented in the reading by Peggy McIntosh or the Video.
