PRACTICAL PRIVILEGE: Definition :: Mmegi Online

At our most basic, each of us has a combination of unearned advantages and disadvantages. These are based on various factors, including place in birth order, body type, complexion, the opportunity to freely express one’s gender and identity, the relationship to spoken or written work and education, parent's place of origin, parent's relationship with Setswana and English, religious beliefs, economic status, sexuality, and sexual orientation.

This list is by no means exhaustive of the factors considered when contemplating one’s unearned benefits and hindrances.

These pluses and detriments are of course affected by other aspects, and may vary from one moment to the other. They are dependent on who we are speaking with, where we are, who we are seeing, our gender and often normative conditioning, as well as what we are required to do at a certain juncture.
