I need support with this English question so I can learn better.
Part 1: Initial ResponseIn recent years, the concept of “white privilege” has shifted from college campuses to mainstream society, and is now part of the popular lexicon in social life. Unfortunately, the use of the concept has been met with resistance by many white people perhaps because they lack of understanding or disbelief of the reality of privilege, let alone white privilege, and its significance in the lives of people. We are about to learn many things about how race and ethnicity affect the daily lives, and the life chances (a sociological term meaning the opportunity to have the good things in life) of us all. Before we get into that process too deeply, read the article on Understanding Race and Privilege, I’d like you to reflect on what you currently think about your various overt and covert social statuses and the privileges associated with them in your own life.Write a post of 5 brief paragraphs (between half to a full page) based on the following prompts:When was the last time you had to think about your ethnicity, race, gender identity, ability level, religion, and/or sexual orientation? What provoked you to think about it or acknowledge it?When watching TV or a movie, how likely are you to watch shows whose characters reflect your ethnicity, race, gender, ability level, religion, gender identity, and/or sexual orientation?When using social media, how diverse is your feed? How diverse are your friends and followers? How diverse are those that you follow?How do you respond when others make negative statements towards individuals of a different ethnicity, race, gender, ability level, religion, sexual orientation, and/or gender identity than yourself?How often do you go to social settings where the majority of individuals are of a different ethnicity, race, gender, ability level, religion, sexual orientation, and/or gender identity than yourself?
