Short Answer
1. How would you define privilege? Can you think of examples from your own life or observations in which privilege was evident?
Teaching Suggestion: You might begin a discussion about the concept of privilege by asking students to share their understanding of the term. Encourage them to think about different forms of privilege (racial, gender, socioeconomic, etc.) and how these might manifest in everyday life. This will help prepare them for the themes discussed in McIntosh’s essay.
