How do you define being privileged?

Answer 1

To me, privileged means you have free and easy access to neccessities of life. You do not need to be a millionaire to be privileged. Also, if you can go to a store and buy pretty much anything you like (and don't neccessarily need) then you are privileged.

You are also privileged if you get a chance to do things you like, meet people that inspire you, or simply being with the ones you love and appreciating each and every day as it comes.

Answer 2

Being privileged is an entitlement to a certain "lifestyle" and possessions that come along with this and taking these things for granted. Being privileged also means to not have to worry about how you're going to pay your bills or where your next meal will come from. It is being able to attend the best schools and being afforded preferential treatment in various situations.

Answer 3

When you have more than what you need. In a sense, everyone is privileged in the Western world. But it depends how you define what you need. I believe I need a house over my head, enough money to eat, a job that fulfils me and someone to love. I'm privileged. However my sister believes that she needs a baby she can't have - she doesn't think she's privileged.
Its a fluid, lucid term like "community" or "nirvana"

Answer 4

In a nutshell, I think being privileged just means you have more freedoms and opportunities at your hands to do what you want to do........in a way, to get by (or away) with certain things. For example, celebrities may use their privilege of fame to jump in front of a long line; a star athlete (whether college or pro) may use his privilege to get away with certain things that may get an average person into trouble. Many celebrities use their privilege of money so that they don't spend many years behind bars when they commit a crime.

Answer 5

Being privileged is having access to goods and services beyond the reach of the general populations. Being privilege is all about access from powerful people to esoteric knowledge to the finest foods in the world.
