Stretching Our Thinking

Check Your Privilege

For the check your privilege activity, I scored 66/100 or "quite privileged." This activity was a good reminder to me of what is considered a privilege. I often overlook the fact that I have never had to wonder where my next meal is coming from or the fact that any town I visit, there is a church for my religion. I have coworkers who do not have this privilege with their religion. For example, one of my coworkers has certain times where she prays during the day and employers have not always been accommodating to this. Mental health, able-bodied privilege and higher education are all privileges that I tend to overlook. This activity was a good reminder.
