Today's Policies

As of late we have been discussing the topic of Affirmative Action. I think that this is a good policy to have as long as it is managed and used correctly. Leveling the playing field is definitely something that we need to work on as a society and by have this legislation it starts the process. Unfortunately this program will not solve the problems of inequality in many issues. With that being said it Affirmative Action certainly helps the cause. It is important to remember that the inequality is deeply rooted in the continual progress of our society. Which brings along another topic we have spoke about, that being white privilege. Things such as white privilege are topics that need to be addressed and figured out before things will get any better when it comes to equality. The difficulty when it comes to this subject is that most people are unaware of the privilege that they have. Therefore it will be a long process before there are huge strides but it is important to start the process to get it in the works. Mary
