Entitlement is a guarantee of access to benefits because of rights, or by agreement through law. It can also referr, in a more casual sense to someone's belief that they are deserving of some particular reward or benefit. [1] it is often used as a negative term in popular parlance (IE a 'sense of entitlement'). The legal term, however, carries no value judgement, it simply denotes a right granted.
