==Description==
'''Entitlement''' is a guarantee of access to benefits because of [[rights]] or by agreement through [[law]]. It also refers, in a more casual sense, to someone's [[belief]] that one is deserving of some particular reward or benefit. [http://writ.news.findlaw.com/hamilton/20030828.html] It is often used [[pejorative]]ly in common parlance (e.g. a "sense of entitlement").

=== Terminology ===
As a legal term, ''entitlement'' carries no [[value]] [[judgment]]: it simply denotes a right granted. For example in the [[United States of America]], [[social security]] is an entitlement program. [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10609044/ Federal entitlement programs more costly]

In clinical [[psychology]] and [[psychiatry]], an unrealistic, exaggerated, or rigidly held sense of entitlement may be considered a symptom of [[Narcissistic Personality Disorder]].

In Land Development, the Entitlement Process is the legal [[method]] of obtaining approvals for the right to develop [[property]] for a desired use (e.g. rezoning).

In computer security, ''entitlement'' can also refer to [[access control]].
