In reading Privilege 101: A Quick and Dirty Guide something that stood out to me, or impacted me was the statement Privilege doesn't mean that your life is easy, but rather it's easier than others.  Perception is key here.  Some people whom someone sees as disadvantaged may be seen as privileged by another person.  Other information that stood out to me is the paragraph regarding the statement, "Privilege doesn't mean you didn't work hard."  In general I believe that most people think if you are privileged you are "given" everything.  This is not the case in most circumstances.  Most of the time people whom we view as privileged have worked very hard to be in those circumstances.
