Affirmative Action: Dismantle or Remantle

Affirmative action was a policy that was brought about as an attempt to bring reconciliation after the civil rights movement of the 1960’s. The initial principal that birthed Affirmative Action as a policy or law of the land, was to create a means by which America could right the wrongs of the impact of 245 years of slavery, as well as the impact that other kinds of discrimination have had on specific groups of American society. Just think, of the 375 years that African-Americans have been on this continent, 245 were in slavery, 100 in legalized discrimination and only 30 involving anything else (Wilkins, 1995). Affirmative action is a policy that was meant to create an even playing field for everyone in our society. Within the context of this policy, employers, administrators, contract managers were held accountable to give minorities, women and other special interest group’s additional consideration in their decision processes when applying for employment, various memberships and acceptance in educational institutions.

While aspects of the Affirmative Action policy implementation were flawed, many of its principals hold positive attributes. Attributes that if applied prope

Race, gender, religion, ethnicity, sexual preference, socio-economic status, standardized test scores, lineage and disability. These characteristics, nor any other, individually or collectively, should ever solely determine the decision of employment, membership, or educational growth. However, each of the characteristics of persona should be taken into consideration in determining the most qualified candidates for employment, membership and acceptance to get the most qualified individual.
