privilege

Privilege refers to the advantages or benefits individuals or groups experience based on characteristics such as race, gender, socioeconomic status, or education, often without being aware of it. These advantages may manifest in various ways, such as easier access to opportunities, better treatment in social settings, or systemic support. While privilege can vary significantly between different contexts and individuals, it often leads to unequal outcomes in society. Recognizing privilege helps us understand social inequalities and fosters awareness about how different experiences shape people's lives.
