Today, we are going to talk about \u201cPrivilege\u201d, about having different starting points in life, about having unearned advantages because of different aspects of our identity. It is worth looking at how people perceive this controversial topic in their everyday lives. From our guests, we will learn that privilege affects lives very differently, from gender biases to food struggles, and how people sometimes do NOT want to be viewed as privileged as it undermines their achievements. We will also hear what motivates people to break out of the sphere of their privileges and help those who are less fortunate than us. What are the privileges that we should be aware of? Are privileges always harmful?<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely undervalued<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In our first story, \u201cabsolutely undervalued\u201d, we will listen to Tea from Albania who is currently living and working in Germany as a guest lecturer. Tea tells us which difficulties she faced some years ago in Albania, when she was not taken seriously by her colleagues simply because of her age and her gender.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely blind<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In our second story, \u201cabsolutely blind\u201d,\u00a0we will listen to Tushar who was born in India but moved to Germany in his early childhood. During the interview he mentions how in his home country young kids struggle with basic human needs in everyday lives and how he now feels rather privileged that he does not have to worry about those issues in Germany.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely unfair<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In our last story \u201cabsolutely unfair\u201d, we will listen to Yuliia from Ukraine who has been studying in Germany for her exchange year. She tells us how she notices that privileges that she has because she is from Ukraine, gradually make her feel uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p>What about you? Are there any artificial privileges that you would actually introduce in your country to make it a better place? In fact, we would also love to hear from people who reject the whole idea of affirmative action!
