Provide examples to support my explanation of the concept of privilege relative to nationality, gender, ability, social class and race.

America is a country that is believed to have been built on the tales and stories told by its very first immigrants.

Sociologist Emile Durkheim defines religion based on its function and purpose in society; specifically, religion fulfills a fundamental part in preserving and reinforcing social structures and hence was crucial to the continued existence of society.

Evidently, Judge Brack is the “manly” character in Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler just because his occupation means that he possesses money and power, qualities that continue to epitomize masculinity even in conventional societies. Notably, aside from his apparent confidence as a judge, the man is also keen to exert his influence and have the others serve his whims. For illustration purposes, one can consider Judge Brack’s exchange with Hedda Tesman after the former delivers news of Eilert Lovborg’s suicide. In Hedda’s words, she became “subject to [Brack’s] will and [his] demands” after he subtly ...
