What are privileges and barriers?

Scientists say that privileges work in ones favour. Barriers do not.

                 privilege                          barrier

Gender      male                                female

Ethnicity    white                                people of colour

 Are they the same for you? Do you feel it in your work? Do schools help? Are they concerned? Are you?
