affirmative action
Is when a a certain gender , race, nationality or religion group of people are excluded from jobs, housing or even living. E.g. Affirmative action in south Africa is were the government is giving priority jobs for Non-white people then for whites. It is a racist , and can be sexist and offensive to my people matering on the cercomstances.AnswerTrimming away the politically charged dialogue, affirmative action is simply an effort to offset certain perceived wrongs which may have been previously inflicted by society. This is accomplished by initiating programs that give preferences in hiring, scholastic placement, or other similar sorts of opportunities to those groups of individuals who have been deemed to have been wronged. Obviously, those on the receiving end of affirmative action programs see them as just, while those who lose opportunities they believe they deserve based on their achievements see affirmative action programs as unfair. Hope that helps.
