First, watch the video: “Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness” by Michele L. Sullivan. https://youtu.be/akiQuyhXR8o
Second, write an essay answering the following questions using both the video and the Sensoy & DiAngelo textbook to support your reflective writing:
1) In Ch. 6, the author argues that privilege is not the product of luck, happenstance, or natural occurrence. If it is not things, then what is it?
2) In Ch. 6, identify the external/structural and internal/attitudinal dimensions of another form of oppression such as sexism.
3) According to the authors, in Ch. 7, oppression is difficult to see. Discuss some of the reasons why this is so. For example, sexism is difficult to see because of the focus on individuals rather than patterns.
