Affirmative Action

Affirmative Action

Discrimination is part of history, part of everyday life, and part of every single person in this country.  Affirmative action is necessary in today’s American society to counteract the effects of past discrimination, and to help exterminate future tribulations.  Although geared towards minorities, in a world dominated by white male’s affirmative action plays a major role in the elimination of prejudice against women and minorities      alike.
Established in 1964, as part of the Civil Rights Act, affirmative action was a huge step in American recovery from a Horrible past. A commission to enforce affirmative action was not put into order until years later.  The Equal Employment Opportunities act was established in 1972, to enforce what was or other wise just an idea put on paper.  ( The Columbia Encyclopedia, 659).  Throughout the 70’s there were a few cases pertaining to the quotas being used, and their tendency of “reverse discrimination”.  (The Columbia Encyclopedia, 659)  The dispute of reverse discrimination was acknowledged in certain cases, but most programs kept their existing policies.  
A case in 1979 sought out and achieved approval of quotas to be used in private businesses
