Onto Nature and Forms of Affirmative Action
Creators
Description
Affirmative Action has been a perpetual issue from its conception to the present. Despite being endlessly discussed since its beginning, a universal agreement on the nature of affirmative Action still appears entirely untouched. Affirmative Action is a public policy designed to compensate the victims of injustice on the cost of others’ possession. Philosophers like Leslie P. Francis say that there should be policy of Affirmative Action for assuring a level playing field. It is because there is a disparity in the social-economical scenario distributed in the community, which is visualized in the form of absenteeism of the candidates belonging to the deprived and under-represented classes from the significant workplaces of a nation. In this paper, the author would make an attempt to analyze the questions related to nature and forms of Affirmative Action. The paper will conclude by advancing the author’s position regarding this issue.
