Exploring themes: Affirmative action
This article discuss that affirmative action is very controversial. It explains that affirmative action could be look at from two perspectives. One perspective that it is necessary to have so that you can assure that minorities will receive an equal opportunity and the other perspective argues that affirmative action threatens America’s fundamental values. For example in the text it says “they have positioned affirmative action as unnecessary, unfair, and even un-American”. The author concludes that affirmative action is cloudy and it can lead to any direction as far as becoming more strict or lenient.
