Affirmative_Action_Advances_Racial_Equality

Affirmative Action Advances Racial Equality This paper is going to support my position of affirmative action. I was not sure about my opinion of affirmative action until I researched the topic in depth. My evidence will support my idea that affirmative action is necessary because it follows the evolution of civil right s in the United States. I believe that affirmative action is necessary when a qualified person loses an opportunity to advance socially, politically or economically due to race, gender, or socioeconomic status. For the purpose of the position paper I would like to state my definition of affirmative action so that it is clear what I am defending. Affirmative action is a policy that corrects the effects of discrimination. This program is designed to open doors to qualified minorities that might otherwise be turned down. It is not suppose to be based on quotas, or preferences to the unqualified. It is suppose to give equal opportunity to all those qualified. Some institutions have set goals but that is their choice.
