Hum/111 Week 2 Critical Thinking Assignment

I never considered myself privilege because of my whiteness. I was taught to work hard, rely on oneself, and never give up. I have been told this thinking is deemed as white culture thinking. I have not grasped that concept yet. To me, it is survival. However, my

This week’s critical thinking assignment explores the system-level scripting functionality of the Linux operating system. Documenting each step in the assignment will demonstrate how to use the awk and sed commands to display different sets of data from and file based on the commands used. The sed command will also be used to change the data within the test file. These steps will be discussed and illustrated with screenshots in the following paper.

The Critical Thinking assignment for Module One, Option Two, is a series of five questions pertaining to Set Theory and Venn diagrams. In short, Set Theory is the notion in which items (e.g., numbers, colors, people), referred to in mathematics as “elements” can be grouped into “sets” in order to organize and understand elements (Jech, 1971). In relation, Venn diagrams are circular illustrations utilized to visually express relationships between sets (Grünbaum, 1975). It is imperative to understand the relation between sets and Venn diagrams in order to fully comprehend Set Theory.

Are you a straight, white, middle class, able-bodied, cis-gendered man? Congratulations, you've won the lottery of privilege that you probably didn't even know you were playing! Don't worry if this isn't you though; you probably have privilege in one way or another. People who have privilege are often times oblivious to it. However, those who lack privilege are more than likely aware of the disadvantages they face. So, what is privilege? Privilege is a social concept that states that certain people (or groups of people) have advantages over others, commonly used in the context of social inequality regarding race, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, social class, and ability.

Another privilege I have started to notice recently is my age. Socially speaking I would be considered young and unexperienced in life. As I become older I often find myself believing these stereotypes. Overall I would say being young is a privilege to a certain

I never really thought of myself as being white privileged. Yes, there may be certain aspects where I grew up with a better lifestyle then some, where I am privileged, but never did I think it was because of the color of my skin. When I was little I didn’t think about the color of my skin or how it affects the way I am perceived and benefited. When I was little I had an innocent mind thinking I could take on the world. I didn’t care about what the persons skin color was, but rather looking into their personality traits and wanting to be my friend. I did not considered what their skin color had to offer and I still don’t consider it today. Unfortunately, as people grow up certain parts of their innocent’s starts to change and the blanket they have been hiding under is impacted by society. Social media starts to impact people’s viewpoints and obsessions, which can create grief and hatred towards different people.

Privilege comes to mind when I think about my future. I have been blessed with a multitude of “privileges” that my parent’s have not been able to experience. I’ve had a stable lifestyle, a home, a high school education, and I even got my driver’s license at age sixteen, like any other American teenager, and these things are often something overlooked for “privilege.” Another “privilege” that I will receive is having the opportunity to be a first-generation college student, and being the first in my family to ever go to college is honorable; however, it is not something that I want to take for granted either. Both of my parents quit school in order to either assist their families or to move to the U.S. to give their future children the chances that they have

1. I think thoughts have the ability to affect us physically, but there are too many factors involved to truly cause, or even cure a disease. However, I do think it is possible for thoughts to help heal or partake in causing an ailment, but thoughts are not the main factors.

I really liked this technique. I am in love with the beach, so the thought of relaxing on the beach after being in a tunnel relaxed my body. Also the sound of the ocean was very relaxing.

Growing up I considered myself privileged, and I still do. I cannot remember a time when I felt my needs were not being met, or unsafe at home. I was fortunate enough to have been raised in a small upper-class family of four, in a large five-bedroom and three-bathroom home. The gated community where we lived was well established and zoned for some of the best schools in the area. However, under these circumstances, I was secluded from diversity. This was not an intentional decision by my parents, but a result of their economic status and opportunities thereof.

The module three critical thinking assignment is seven questions to help determine the opponents issues, BATNA, and source of power. Knowing the information will help analyze the workplace negotiation.

“Eres privilegiada”, “You’re privileged”, my mother would say to me every time I would get off the car when arriving to school. At the time this meant nothing to me, because I was not sure what she meant by privilege. To me, my families’ money placed us nowhere near privilege. I defined privilege as having a beautiful car, having a nice home, and having money to buy every item you ever wanted; all those objects were things that my family lacked. Now, I see her point. She was never trying to say that I was privileged for the money my family had, but for the education I was able to receive. We were looking at my life from two different perspectives. I was looking at my life through the eyes of disadvantage, and others looked at my life as a form

A privilege that I earn almost a year ago, was when my mom give me permission to have a boyfriend. My mom and I do not keep much secret because we both trust each other and it’s a privilege for me that she believes me.

My privilege I am asking for is a memory card for my camera. The reason why I want a memory card for my camera is because I think I am mature enough for it. One reason why I deserve a memory card for my camera is because I can get into a good college. Another reason why I deserve a memory card for my camera is because I can start a career for photography. My last reason why I deserve a memory card for my camera is because I could get more experience with photography.

Being privileged is something that I didn’t understand until I read There are No Children Here, by Alex Kotlowitz. The truth is that I knew I had it better than others, but the absolute difference was not truly recognized until I met the boys Lafayette, and Pharaoh. These boys were presented to me by Kotlowitz, via his book, and the evident pain and sorrow that these young men went through on a daily basis was more than most privileged people experience in an entire lifetime. That is what being privileged is.
