question 4

Essay

Through Dan Lowe's essay and Spencer Case's reply, it becomes clear that the authors have very different understandings of the moral value of the assertion "check your privilege." In your essay, explain their disagreement, drawing from both of their works. Then, explain the extent to which you worry about this particular disagreement. In other words, is Lowe's point worth making even if Case's concern is well-founded? Or is Case's concern strong enough to override the reasons that Lowe gives for the importance of privilege checking?
