Let's Discuss... Privilege

Privilege. We often hear the word privilege used but what is it and what does it mean to you?

Can we inherit privilege and can we earn it later in life?

Is privilege something that we need to artificially control to have a better society?

Can we measure privilege? and should we measure it?

Here is a short video explaining the concept:
