Affirmative_Action_Dialogue_Debate

Affirmative Action Dialogue Debate A Dialogue of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity The debate over the permissibility of Affirmative Action (which I will abbreviate as AA throughout this paper), seems to be like a maze of words. One idea or belief leads to other linking ideas and the debate never seems to find an end. There are, like most moral topics, two opposing viewpoints. For the purpose of this paper, I will write a dialogue using an example from each side of the argument. Alex is a white, middle-class man from an urban town, who has worked hard at academics to get himself to where he is right now. He is currently in the process of getting his graduate degree in law at a highly regarded Ivy League school. Beth, on the other hand, is a black woman from a low socio-economic background. Just like Alex, she has worked extremely hard to get to where she is today. She was also accepted into an Ivy League School and is in the process of getting her Business Degree.
