Affirmative_action.docx(1) JUS-202HN Affirmative Action Someone is going to apply for a job. They are perfect for the job, but they do not get it. Later on, when doing a little research, they find out that the company they applied to practices Affirmative Action. They did not get the job because the company has a quota to reach on who they hire and who they do not hire. Companies and schools want to create a more diverse environment so they turn away those who cannot help them become diverse. Affirmative Action has hindered many people who are looking for a job or applying to schools. Affirmative Action is when employers have quotas for hiring of different genders, races, or ethnicities. They use it to “recruit and advance qualified minorities, women, person with disabilities, and covered veterans†(Affirmative action, n.d., para. 1). It has also been used in schools when choosing who gets in and who is denied. Schools and workplaces have used it since 1961 to create more diverse campuses and workplaces. It has often hindered those who are more suited for the job from getting it or being accepted. It is still used today, but some states have banned it from being used. While Affirmative Action does allow companies to create more diversity because they have to hire certain ethnicities or races, it disrespects those who would be better suited for the job. The idea of Affirmative Action is to give everybody an equal opportunity, but if these places have quotas to reach, it takes away the equality. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .
