Affirmative Action

I believe Affirmative Action was good when it first was put to use, but it is immoral to use it now. I also believe everybody should have a fair chance at life. Who is to say one person is better than the others just because of race or ethnicity? We do not choose to be born a certain way, it is just how life happens. It is a form of discrimination to tell somebody they cannot be hired because of their color or being a female. It is unlawful because they are being discriminated before they are even tested for the job.  The way I see it, it is immoral to hire a person just based on looks. They have to be given a chance to prove they are worthy material.

It is crucial that certain things are put into the spotlight. For example, picture two guys (one white and one black) applying for the same job. The white guy has little to no experience in the field and did not attend college. Not only did the black guy attend and graduate college, but he has a lot of experience in the field. They hire the white guy because they believe he has the potential to bring their company further success while the other guy is told the spot is filled. The way the future should be is anybody and everybody should have a fair chance at any job or educational opportunity. It is unfair to an individual that grew up in poverty to be denied an educational opportunity because there is no financial aid. Meanwhile, the rich and wealthy people are given grants and financial aid to go to school. In my eyes, that’s immoral and everybody should be treated fairly. We all share the world together, so why not work together to make life easy for everybody.
