The topic I am going researched is affirmative action. Affirmative action is when a government or an organization gives preference to women or minorities that are often treated unfairly, when it is choosing people for schooling or jobs. Affirmative action can also be a way of reflecting the country’s diversity in schools or businesses. I became interested in this subject when writing a paper on reverse discrimination, when writing this paper I noticed that many cases of affirmative action have turned out helping other people and at the same time upset people. This I felt made me skeptical on whether affirmative action is a good thing or a bad thing. From this I decided to explore the pros and cons of this controversial issue. Basically, the main points that I am going to express are whether it causes reverse discrimination, does it have an affect on society, is it effective, and is it fair, do people rely on it, has it helped growth, and should it be removed. I am going to compare the thoughts of minorities and women versus the thoughts of the majority and men regarding affirmative action. I am also going to see how affirmative action benefits

One fabrication of minorities stealing all white men's jobs is false. According to the Commerce Department, there are fewer than 3 million unemployed minority civilians and more than 100 million employed White civilians (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1994). Thus, even if every unemployed minority worker were to take a White workers job then less than 2 percent of Whites would be affected. The main sources of jobs lost among White workers have to do with factory relocations and labor contracting outside the United States, computerization and automation, and corporate downsizing (Ivins, 1995).
