Week 3 Question 2

1. The concept of white men of privilege was discussed in the text as “organizational behaviors and expectations have been defined within the context of that privileged upper-middle-class, middle-aged, able-bodied, white make experience” (p. 96). Basically, people like the typical white men come from upper-middle class and well educated usually more privileged from others because they usually the first candidates for jobs or anything else. I don’t agree with this concept because I’ve known too many talented people are not able to get the position they wanted because they don’t fit the typical profile. And sadly, they lost their job to those “white men of privilege”. I don’t agree with this concept, because I believe the world is changing and people are gradually abolishing this ridiculous concept. In terms of getting jobs, we should choose the best candidates based on their abilities and their work ethic and disregard how they look like, their cultural or financial background.
