This ability is very subjective and varies with cultural context and situations. Equity is possible when situations are fair.
Intersectionality- is the term social scientists use to describe the way these different social groups come together in us to form our identity.

The Core Concept
Power and privilege represent complex social processes made all the more complicated in diversity contexts.
Power dynamics is a term we use to represent how power is acquired and maintained, and the complex relationships among diversity status,power, and privilege.
Social power is the ability to control assets and the access that others have to those assets.
A leader is a person who manages others. Leaders typically use three types of power to exercise control:
(a) legitimate authority that comes from the leader’s position;
(b) coercive power, based on threats or actual punishment; and
(c) reward power, which is the positive opposite of coercive power
People who has the social power will have the social privilege- access to resources, opportunities, and possibilities that are not easily available to others.
Do you have this power as an individual?
