Information Privilege is hard to realize if you are privileged. Depending on where you live, how much money you have or even how you look can lower the amount of information you can get. One person could find it hard to get essentials like textbooks while others have no problems. (Rozear 2019). Every person and student should have the opportunity to have the same level of education and access to information however its not like that. Have the name information privilege creates a signal to students and faculty that this is about one person having an advantage over the other. (Hare & Evanson). Going deeper into this information is needed for almost everyday life and again privileged is the advantages over someone else. Many people do not have what you or a friend have because they might not be able to afford it or simply can not have it. (Daer. & Foley 2014). One way to think about it is like when the pentagon papers came out, only bits and pieces were released because the government did not feel like certain areas of the public should know about the papers and whats in them. The people who did know about the papers and read them had the privilege to read them while others did not have the privilege too. (Moore & Murray 2012).
