Affirmative Action

I believe that Affirmative Action was once helpful to society. Since the U.S. has changed majorly from when it was created there needs to be provisions to the law. I believe that it is important to help people that need to be helped but it does not necessarily apply to the group of people that it has in the past. Affirmative Action is immoral and should no longer exist.

There is no need to help people get a public job or into a public university. Those people admitted should be qualified based on their abilities not what race or gender they are. Allowing people that are less qualified to get the position is not efficient to society it is immoral. It would make most sense to give it to the most qualified applicant based on ability not race or gender.

Affirmative Action may have helped some individuals in the past but also could have hurt people through reverse discrimination. It is immoral to have to deny someone a position because the company needs a female or a person of a different race. People may argue that people of a certain race deserve the position because they are qualified but a white male may be more qualified for the position and therefore should have the job. It is immoral giving the job to a person less qualified. Not only does it hurt the company it also hurts the person being denied.

Times have changed and people that need assistance get it through other means. Affirmative Action is not helping society thrive it is hurting society. There might still be discrimination but Affirmative Action is not helping the cause it might actually be making it worse.
