Introduction
To better understand the perspectives of others, it is important that we reflect on the role privilege plays in our society. When we think of privilege, we typically think of having money and nice “things,” but privilege is much more than that. Having privilege is not “good” or “bad.” It also does not mean that you have not worked hard or faced significant challenges in your life. Instead, it relates to our place in society’s stratification system and our access to resources and opportunities. Sociologists try to understand privilege and how it impacts our chances in life. ;
In the United States, we tend to emphasize the American Dream—the idea that if anyone works hard enough they can accomplish anything. Sociologists, however, argue that social mobility (our ability to move up or down in the stratification system) is not simply the result of hard work. Rather, our privilege plays a significant role in our capability for social mobility.
For this assessment, you will reflect on your privilege (or lack thereof) and how it has impacted your life changes. You will also analyze how your privilege is related to those around you and make connections to social mobility. Understanding our privilege in relation to others can help us solve problems and better interact with those around us.
