Answering the question of whether you are privileged or not is a difficult assessment to make. For example, if “you are white, male, able-bodied, heterosexual, or have wealth,” determining that power is not as clear-cut as if you were at the opposite end of the spectrum (Merriam & Bierema, 2014, p. 240). . Topics related to position and privilege are often discussed in workplace diversity training courses. Having the skills to be able to speak freely about these issues is critical for educators and adult learners in our society today due to the control of the education system. In both Mexico and the United States, an individual's privilege allows them to have the position in society necessary to address the “question of educational opportunity” (Keane, 1994). Many times, in these types of societies, it has been shown that privilege can overcome certain attributes and abilities, such as intellect, to determine status and/or social standing.
