The invisibility of privilege.Most privilege is not recognised as such by those who have it. In fact, one of the function of privilege is to structure the world so that mechanism of privilege are invisible- in the sense that they are unexamined- to those who benefit from them' {BAILEY 1998: 112}. Not being aware of privilege is an important aspect of privilege. A. Johnson {2001} Observes how members of privilege of privilege groups either do not understand what others mean when they refer to them as privileged or they tend to get angry and defensive , when well- meaning members of privileged group offer to support the struggle of oppressed groups , they often cannot understand why those groups might be suspicious or even hostile towards them . Many men challenging male violence wonder why women do not opposed to racism wonder why indigenous people are not more supportive of their own stand. Member of privilege groups usually do not see how they benefit from the practices that they claim to oppose. some argue that privilege does not necessarily bring happiness and fulfilment . This may the be used to deny the existence of privilege, compounding the challenge of recognising the power of privilege.efforts are often complicated by unearned systems of dominance of which they are unaware.When privilege is systematically conferred , rather than earned, it gives one group of people the power to feel superior over another. While some forms of privilege need to feel extended to become the norm socially just society , other forms of privilege need to be rejected because they reinforce hierarchy and damage people lives.One of the first writes to relate the concept of privilege to specific benefit individuals receive was Peggy Melntosh. She distinguished between earned strength and unearned power conferred systematically' McIntosh 1992. 78}.Melntosh constructed a list of fifty advantage that were available to her as a white person that were not available to people of colour under racism. To make sense of how individuals gain these benefits, we need to identify the key dimensions of privilege: the invisibility of privilege by those who have it. the power of privileged group to determine the social norms: the naturalisation of privilege and the sense of entitlement that accompanies privilege.Reference:Professor Bob Pease {2010} Undoing privilege uneased Advantage in a divided world.
