ENTITLEMENT MENTALITY

This book therefore examines entitlement without using the concept as a weapon against
people who are genuinely disadvantaged. Poverty is not entitlement. Disability is not
entitlement. Asking for help during a crisis is not entitlement. Challenging discrimination is
not entitlement. Receiving legitimate public assistance is not entitlement. The concern is the
pattern in which a person expects benefits, recognition, authority, rescue, or favourable
outcomes while resisting proportionate effort, preparation, accountability, reciprocity, or
reasonable limits.
