Throughout reading this text I have come across some points that are made that resonate with me and some that don't resonate with me. I don't believe in lessening male social status to make a womans social status seem equal. I believe that a woman's social standard should be raised but not lessen a male social status to make both equal.

I don't think people with white privilege understand the weight it holds for their benefit because the majority have never experienced or will experience what it is like to be without it. Growing up in a predominantly Caucasian city, from an early age I understood how my dark skin did not comply with the standards of normality. I was picked on and called ugly because my skin color did not fit social standards at school. My craving to have white privilege lead me to bleach my skin at 13 years old.

I disagree with few of the statements made in the list. On number 12. I completely disagree by being caucasian and swear and dressing in dirty second hand clothes in public that it does not effect your perception to the world around you because of white privilege. I have at time at mall jumped to conclusions about people who carry themselves in an unkept manner with unruly behavior. I have associated people like this with unruly morals.

Understanding your identity is essential to any art and work you put forth because your identity will effect your product. Knowing your identity and privilege is extremely essential to when you want to produce art into a community to help determine the effectiveness and its reception.
