AJP Taylor, for example, argues that the war ‘smoothed the way for democracy’ and so there are other factors of significance, such as, suffrage campaign groups (WSPU & NUWSS) and growing equality with men. Whilst this essay will recognise the importance of the view that WWI was significant to women receiving the vote, it intends to argue that AJP Taylor’s analysis is best supported by existing evidence and as such is the most accurate view. Paragraph 1: Isolated factor (WWI) In this paragraph, you should be showing balance but ultimately arguing that even though WWI played a role in women gaining the vote, it was NOT THE ONLY REASON.

Josephine Clark SOC-322-(WA) 2 Semester-September 2011 Affirmative action involves federal government measures for reducing institutional discrimination. The purpose of Affirmative Action is to provide opportunities for minorities and women but companies use affirmative action to create quotas. Before the government got involved with the institutional discrimination, minorities and women were denied opportunities of equal rights. Affirmative action gives special consideration to racial minorities and women, for jobs and educational opportunities.

In an attempt to reverse the injustice and actions from the past regarding discrimination, government has implemented legislation such as the Affirmative Action. Affirmative Action by definition is “the effort to improve the employment and educational opportunities of women and members of minority groups through preferential treatment in job hiring, college admissions, the awarding of government contracts, and allocation of other social benefits.” (Meriam-Webster) This act attempts to eradicate social dislocation by giving minorities a fair chance at having the same opportunities, that which a person considered “non-minority” would have, but the questions poses…does the Affirmative Action hinder or help the situation of minority groups?

These initial perceptions have been spread wide all over the country and even throughout the world. Stereotyping is overly-defined as the negative prejudicial labeling of one’s ethnicity, race, or religion. But on the far end, the scope of stereotyping as a human act can sometimes be misleading. For example, labeling a person or a group of people without a substantial basis to such a degree where it could actually boost the morale or esteem of that person or group is still stereotyping. A cliché yet concrete example could be; males are better in math than the females.
It is apparent in office settings that racism and prejudice are prevalent between people of diverse cultures. Prejudice shows up in different areas, from hiring preferences to promotions, to coworker rivalry.
