Public Human Module 1 Discussion

After reviewing this week's readings you will need to compose a discussion board post of at least 250 words that addresses the guiding questions listed below. 

Remember that your post should not simply be quick answers to each of the questions. In other words, review each question, reflect on the answers, and compose a singular response that shows your understanding of this material. In fact, you may not use all of the questions in your response, but you should show a full comprehension of the material.

5.  What is meant by power?

6.  What is meant by privilege?

7.  Explain the different types of privilege.
