The debate over the permissibility of Affirmative Action (which I will abbreviate as AA

throughout this paper), seems to be like a maze of words. One idea or belief leads to other linking

ideas and the debate never seems to find an end. There are, like most moral topics, two opposing

viewpoints. For the purpose of this paper, I will write a dialogue using an example from each side

Alex is a white, middle-class man from an urban town, who has worked hard at academics

to get himself to where he is right now. He is currently in the process of getting his graduate

degree in law at a highly regarded Ivy League school. Beth, on the other hand, is a black woman

from a low socio-economic background. Just like Alex, she has worked extremely hard to get to

where she is today. She was also accepted into an Ivy League School and is in the process of

getting her Business Degree. Similar as these two individuals may appear, however, there

underlies hidden forms of passive and active discrimination that Beth has experienced on her way

to success. Their experiences and beliefs will be analyzed in the

more minority role models to give children a goal to strive for. As Gertrude Ezorsky says,

about many blacks feeling incompetent when admitted by AA. However, the facts show

opportunity to succeed. If one person is more qualified than someone else, then the more

discriminated against and been the victims of prejudice. They are due to their share of

blacks and 8% of whites graduated with Business Degrees?
