advantaged and disadvantaged group identities
"You don't always get rewarded for doing what is right. In fact, at times we get rewarded for doing what is wrong." Maura J. Cullen
"The concept of advantaged/disadvantage is simple, yet the dynamics are complicated. For the most part we have very little, if any, control over our status as advantaged or disadvantaged. People in the advantage groups are institutionally and culturally in power. People in the disadvantaged groups do not have that same power and privilege, institutionally and culturally. This is not to suggest that disadvantaged people are not powerful. In fact, the saying, 'What doesn't break us makes us stronger' is often an accurate saying for people in these groups" (Cullen, 2008 p. 35).
