What are Privileges?
Everybody in this world is privileged by god because god give life to each. These are biases some have advantages and some have disadvantages in societies because of karma(own deeds). Some are lucky or who gets god gifted privileges, but these unearned privileges are transferred by an person or group who give their body, time and mind to earn privileges. Privilege is earned, but there are some cases where it is passed on.
So there are two parts of privilege.
Earned privileges
Earned privileges are those privileges that are granted to a person because of their hard work and dedication to earn a social position in society, a position in the workforce, or a position within the family. There are privileges that you only get when you've worked hard to reach a certain position.
For example Bill Gates earned the privilege of living a royal life through his hard work and intelligence.
Unearned Privileges
Unearned privileges are privileges that are granted to a person because they belong to a specific group or person.
A group or person entitled to special treatment just because he or they belongs to special person or group, even they didn't do anything to get it.
For example Children of Bill Gates at same time will be given privilege of enjoying the property and royal life even if they did not do anything for society.
When looking a unearned privileges, and earned privileges, they are often considered unearned privilege power and earned privilege strength.
