Hi Christine,
One way of approaching this is to look at the priviledges that for example
being white and male confer. This clearly points up what people who regard
their point of view as 'the norm' do not see or understand.
A very good paper for background reading on this is 'White Privilege and
Male Priviledge'1988 by Peggy Macintosh, Working Paper no189 Wellesley
