Two to three thoughtful paragpraphs

Comment on at least two classmates' short responses

We've talked about college, "stuff," and philanthropy. These three topics have more in common than one may think at first. For each topic, the concept of privilege is inescapable.

One definition of privilege is

a right, immunity, or benefit enjoyed only by a person beyond the advantages of most: the privileges of the very rich. (dictionary.com)

For your fourth papers, you are writing about people we may consider "underpriveleged." But what about people who are highly privileged?

What does it mean to be privileged? How does privilege manifest itself in daily life or in the world?

Can you post a picture or link that you believe exhibits or defines privilege?
