I got one.

Entitlement is anything I have/think I have in my life because of my circumstances.

I am an American citizen, I am entitled to freedom of speech. (Cuban? not entitled)
I am a man, I am entitled to the TV remote (My sense of entitlement may be wrong)
My parents are rich, I am entitled to a college education (probably the tuition...)
I have worked hard, I am entitled to my Porsche (I agree)
I work and pay taxes, I am entitled to police if I am robbed, a fireman if I'm on fire, and a doctor if I am sick. (who could think otherwise...?)
