[QUOTE="jpro, post: 16598923, member: 72690"] Its a beautiful thing really. Feeling like a "victim" (whether they are actually a victim or just a victim in their own mind) is the exact opposite feeling of empowerment. By being "given" something because a group is perceived as victims, it further oppresses them. Its rather simple. Its part of what experts call the "psychology of oppression." All of this is well and good because it will just make it easier for my kids to get ahead in life. The competition is being neutered and it will be easier for my kids to climb the mountain. Side note...I sit on a committee that reviews scholarship applications (college students) and I just finished reviewing nearly 200 applications last week. When asked the question about why they deserve scholarship money, 90% of the applicants played up how hard they have had it in life and played the "victim." I rated every single applicant as a "definite yes" for scholarship money who fell in the other 10% who actually wrote what they have done to earn the scholarship. It was incredible to read the 90% who had "sob stories" etc. Yeah, life is hard, but the question is what have you done to earn it, not why do you deserve it. It made me disgruntled. LOL [/QUOTE]
