How specifically does privilege manifest in the way we think, act, and treat others? Given its insidious, unconscious nature, how can we detect situations where privilege effectively keeps us away from practicing our values?

In this video, let’s discuss four functions of privilege – the most common, observable, and measurable ways in which privilege affects how we walk through life and navigate relationships. The order of these functions corresponds to degrees of awareness about our privilege - from zero (1st function) to high (4th function). Paradoxically, increasing awareness doesn’t guarantee freedom from dangerous cognitive patterns driven by privilege – because shame underpins each of them.
