Power vs Privilege

We have talked this semester about the power struggles between the two,power and privilege and as this semester went on I truly developed my own interpretation of the more influential of the two. One of the most important things we have learned this semester is that power can influence the way all people or cultures of a group are viewed. Unlike privilege, power can create privilege amongst the group or class that is seen as the most powerful at that particular time. From reading in class to social diversity the way we view each other is based on the manipulation of the group or people in power. Sometimes this slips our mind but the way we view America and other countries is based on the way the people in power choose for us to see things.
