The idea that people who are alive have more legal rights and protections and are often valued more socially by mainstream society and the government compared to people who are deceased.
People need to be more mindful of about the Privilege of the Living. Just because someone has died does not mean that they no longer have any value.

A gesture to when the government finds out a particular individual has died and, as a result of them finding out, that individual’s rights change. This change consists in them permanently losing some of their legal rights and protections; as well as having many of their other rights and protections significantly weakened.
Kade: Where were you last Friday? You never showed to attend the meeting we had scheduled to talk about our group project.
Hannah: Sorry about that. My mom died of cardiac arrest and I had to deal with all of the government paperwork related to her owing taxes, make her burial arrangements, get a legal pronouncement of death to begin the work necessary to acquire death certificates for her, tell all of my relatives about her passing, and arrange for her pet cat to find a new home.
Kade: I’m sorry for your loss. How are you holding up with all of this?
Hannah: I am doing alright. I’ve already taken care of most of the important tasks that I have to take care of. My only major concern is the rights shift. Considering she died, most her legal rights and protections have either been greatly weakened or eliminated; and as her only living child, the responsibility of monitoring the government to ensure they appropriately enforce those rights and protections in the event that certain crimes, like grave robbery, occur falls to me. This is especially concerning given that I heard that a series of grave robberies that appear to be related to each occurred in some of the towns that are nearby the town she is buried, which they have not been able to find and identify the perpetrator yet.
Kade: I can definitely see why you are concerned given the situation and everything going on.

1: A political identity where an individual chooses not to support a particular political party. It is important to be careful not to confuse this with being apolitical.
2: A situation where an individual chooses not to take a stance on a political issue, or they decide to establish their own unique political view on that issue that is not being held by any major political party, for any reason. Some people believe this can be a source of privilege, but that depends on what they did, what the issue was, and why they did it.

Practicing political neutrality can allow an individual to have a wider array of options when attempting to address a variety of different issues; as well as ensure that needs and desires of the people are being handled adequately. (To help you understand the GIF I chose for this, imagine the ball is a certain political issue the government would like to address, the two dogs fighting over the ball are the mainstream political parties clashing over which of their solutions will best address the issue, the dog who backed away represents an individual who has chosen not take a stance on that issue, and the dog who stuck their head in between the two dogs heads represents an individual who has made their own unique view on that issue because they don't agree with the views held by either of the political parties fighting over the ball.)
