(A) Rachels holds a moderate view for reverse discrimination. While conceding that if the system is to be implemented, there may be some cases of injustice involved against white people (1. Rachels, cc. 331); overall, reverse discrimination is the way to help reduce bias against people of minority groups and women by introducing them to the fields they were previously excluded from. Rachels claims that reverse discrimination is a part of distributive justice, namely for jobs, education…

Affirmative Action Affirmative action has been at the center of many debates for roughly the past fifty years. “Affirmative action is defined as an active effort to improve the employment or educational opportunities of members of minority groups and women” (Merriam-Webster). Affirmative action was originally created to ensure that hiring and employment practices are free of racial bias. In 1961, President Kennedy became the first to use the term "affirmative action" in Executive Order 10925 to…

The unconstitutional use of racial quotas in the admission process of the medical school in the University of California at Davis, opened one of the most famous court cases that had to be settle in the Supreme Court of the United States of America. The case involved the admission practices of the Medical School of the University of California at Davis which reserved 16 out of 100 seats in its entering class for minorities, including Blacks, Chicanos, Asians, and American Indians. The purpose of…

In 1968, the Medical School of the University of California at Davis established a racial quota, according to the Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1999).

I strongly disagree with what Affirmative Action is known as in our society meaning aiding those whose who feel discriminated in other words,” giving special consideration to minorities and women”. As the opposition to affirmative action and the special treatments granted to these so called deprived minorities, affirmative actions should end before the end of the next presidential term. Firstly affirmative action its self is discriminating towards many students and violates the equal protection…

Today was the fifth day of class, and for the majority of the class, Dr. Bennett-Alexander discussed affirmative action, a set of laws, policies, guidelines, and administrative practices “intended to end and correct the effects of a specific form of discrimination.” It is remarkable to hear Dr. Bennett-Alexander name certain events from 1619 to 1980 from the back of her head, I certainly cannot accomplish that. From 1619, when the first recorded Africans arrived in the United States of America…

Should Race and Gender factor into a College Admissions Process? Should someone be rejected because they are a certain race or gender? The answer is no. Colleges should look at a person's intellect not color. They should look at if a student takes advanced courses, not gender. Colleges should not be allowed to factor a student's race and gender into the admissions process because a person's race has no effect on the person's intelligence, the color of a student’s skin is something someone is…

It allows minorities to get equal opportunities and in some cases raises the likelihood that they will get a job. These policies make it so colleges and businesses must accept and hire a certain amount of people from minorities, to show they are not discriminating. I feel that affirmative action is not the most affective way to handle…
