Affirmative Action

Introduction

"Affirmative action is to ensure that all candidates are working, regardless of their race, culture, color or national origin" (Civil Rights 1964).

Affirmative action was created to help minorities leap for discriminatory barriers that have been ever since, when the bill was first passed in 1965. Currently in the country in the wake of a national civil rights demonstrations and racial tension on the all time high. Most of the corporate executive and managerial positions were white male, who controlled the hiring and firing workers. The U.S. government, in 1965, believed that these employers were discriminating against minorities, and believes that there is no better time than the present to achieve change.

Affirmative action (which, of course, was the honorable intentions of all of its concepts, and in the case) contributes to the perpetuation of hatred. Affirmative action may be included in the tables, giving the upper hand over the white minority, but it is still based on race. Decisions scholarships or jobs should not be based on skin color. When two people are equally qualified, the decisive factor should not be as dark or light your skin color, and should not be whether you are male or female, rich or poor, old and young. We understand that the original intent of affirmative action is to eliminate (or at least reduce) racial discrimination in education and the workplace, but I believe that creating additional tension in relations between the races. One racial group always ends resenting others because they have an advantage (Declaration of Independence, pp. 540-546). Effect of Affirmative Action
