    In the article “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” by Peggy McIntosh, there is the discussion of white privilege being some sort of invisible benefit that accompanies whites while they remain oblivious to it. McIntosh then goes into how she came about her stance of white privilege through her studies in male privilege over women. In this stance, McIntosh stated how men were unable to acknowledge the idea that they were privileged compared to women but were able to say that women were in a disadvantaged position. She connects this idea with her statement on white privilege by showing how the men’s denial was similar to the denial of whites and their state of privilege over the other races. McIntosh saw this disadvantaged state…

This was a scary movie because it showed the social construct in society, how wealthy people get what they want while others get hurt in the process. The movie is about a successful, talented black photographer name Chris.…

    In the selected article, Campbell describes his reflection on times in his life where he was met with challenges due to his race. These challenges directly attacked his perceived way of life based off of assumptions as opposed to facts and evidence. As a white male, Campbell argues that he has had no racial privilege and more so that privilege is not attached to race but many other attributes. Campbell refuses to acknowledge “white privilege” and prefers to address emotional stereotypes that are taken as fact. By applying reason over emotion the reader is able to see that “white privilege” is accordingly just a privilege and not inherent of race.…

    One piece of instruction that would need to be displayed in this course is information for students to learn and comprehend is what exactly the poverty cycle it is. This is significant as it is difficult to learn about a subject if you do not understand the basics. Once the students understand what the poverty cycle is, it would be ideal to provide them with prime examples of individuals involved within the poverty cycle. These can be used from chapters of specific books, articles, or short documentaries provided on YouTube, all which will be discussed later. It is also important for the student to understand the consequences of being stuck in the poverty cycle such as the lack of education provided, the absence of proper health care, and little amounts of…

    The article “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” was written to inform the reader about white privilege and male privilege. It states that men necessarily do not realize that they hold an advantage over women just as though whites do not always realize they are more privileged than blacks. The author Peggy McIntosh thoroughly describes that just by being born with white skin, you automatically are at an advantage over someone who was not born white. She also explains that men do in fact recognize women’s status in the world and will do certain things to improve it. However, they are unwilling to do anything to lessen their own privilege.…

    I believe majority of society do not really recognize the meaning of white privilege, meanwhile; we are more to busy tweeting out on society media before understanding. A lot of them want to disagree it since they think that all it means is that they didn’t work hard for what they earn and everything they have was given due to the color of their skin. All it means is they are the dominate racial group in America, they are represented in the media better than other racial groups. Hence, they are not discriminated against in institutions since they have majority of controls. Moreover, their look is the standard of beauty while women from ethnic groups are made to believe they are ugly in the United States because they lack European features.…

    White Privilege in America "White privilege" is the idea that white people unintentionally and automatically get certain perks and advantages that people of color do not receive. Many do not believe in such a concept because in America, all people are suppose to be equal, however, it is easy to see that a white person is treated differently than a person of color solely because of the color of their skin. White people living in America receive numerous “perks” on a daily basis. A number of people that get these perks probably do not stop and realize they are getting something that a person with a darker colored skin could not get. For instance, if a black woman went to a clothing store to find nude undergarments, she would most likely have a difficult time finding something that matched her skin tone because most items that are “nude” match a much lighter skin tone.…

McIntosh defines white privilege as the many advantages white people enjoy, often seen as normal, and are largely unnoticed by society. Peggy McIntosh describes white privilege as “an invisible weightless knapsack of special provisions, maps, passports, codebooks, visas, clothes, tools, and blank checks. ”(Calihealth).…
