Affirmative Action Laws: Are They Fair? PHI 103 Dr. LaCasta-Revell June 4, 2010 Affirmative Action Laws: Are They Fair? In an ideal society, race and gender should not be used as the determining factors when considering admission to universities, hiring, or government contracts, but racism and oppression have frequently described the minority experience in the United States. Affirmative action recognizes that in order to put an end to racist practices, race must be taken into account. Affirmative action policies attempt to counterbalance discrimination against women and minorities in employment and education, and give disadvantaged minorities a boost.

Equal opportunity guarantees both federal and many state laws against any discrimination in employment, education, housing, or credit rights due to a person's race, color, sex, religion, national origin, or other.

Another argument is that those who work for the government have a First Amendment right to freedom of speech and so should be protected from retaliation. Also, those who work in the private sector have a moral right that requires legal protection. The final argument is that employees have a right to act as their conscience dictates. An argument against whistle-blower protection is that the law that recognizes whistle-blowing can be abused.
Employers, for example Walmart can avoid discrimination by avoiding disparate treatment of job applicants and employees, as well as policies that result in disparate impact. Companies can develop and enforce an EEO policy coupled with policies and practices that demonstrate a high value placed on diversity. Affirmative action may correct past discrimination, but quota-based activities can result in charges of reverse discrimination. 2. Which challenge do you think will be more difficult for Walmart: diversifying its top-management ranks or ending charges of discrimination?
