Affirmative Action's Decreased Relevance
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing whether there is any reason to continue affirmative action policies now. In attempting to assess the true impact of affirmative action policies over the years, there is disagreement regarding degrees of wage gains, but there is little disparity of opinion in the fact that gains have been made. Whatever positive effects affirmative action policies have had over the years, those policies' usefulness now appears to be dated and irrelevant themselves. There seems to be little if any legitimate reason to continue them. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Affirmative Action: Not Necessary For Business
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Some critics contend that affirmative action has had a crippling effect upon minority groups because of its obvious message of inferiority. It has, in all actuality, described minorities as being unable to fend for themselves within the business environment, always having to depend upon assistance if they ever want to succeed. However, others believe that just the opposite has occurred, in that minorities have come to take full advantage without having a modicum of concern for the white males they are squeezing out of the system. The writer argues how affirmative action is not necessary for business. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Affirmative Action: Unpopular But Necessary
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. Because of inbred cultural racism, affirmative action policies should continue in order to bring equality and inclusion to African American citizens as they relate to education, employment and economic advancements. There is no question that the original intent of affirmative action was to empower minority groups with the legal support they needed as a means by which to overcome educational shortcomings; however, history has clearly proven the fact that affirmative action's quest to equalize those groups has instead allowed for legalized prejudicial practices against white males.

African American Families: Demographic, Socio-Economic and Cultural Characteristics
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing the demographic, socio-economic and cultural characteristics of African American families. Studies of demographic, socio-economic and cultural characteristics of African American families and communities have shown that overall, African Americans report lower incomes, lower education, higher unemployment and poverty rates, and higher mortality and suicide rates than most White communities in the United States. All of these factors have improved over the last decade and unemployment was reported at an all time low in the last U.S. Census. Despite these adversities however, a large percentage of African American families have succeeded in their educational and professional careers. It is believed that this “resilience” is enhanced by several cultural support characteristics which exist within the African American families and their communities. Most African Americans have reported that their most difficult challenges are based on racism and oppressive factors rather than factors which relate to their family or socio-economic status. Racism, oppression, and segregation are also believed to be some of the primary differences in the mortality and suicide rates in the African American population from the white population. In social science studies and in relation to agencies which wish to establish social support groups to help African American families, all of the cultural, socio-economic, and demographic differences must be taken into account. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

African American Historical Perspective
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Although, the number of African American slaves grew slowly at first, by the 1680s they were essential to the economy of Virginia. During the 17th and 18th centuries, African American slaves lived in all of England's North American colonies. Before Great Britain prohibited its subjects from participating in the slave trade, between 600,000 and 650,000 Africans had been forcibly transported to North America. And that was the unfortunate beginning for African Americans in this country, and although there are indeed African Americans who have prospered with education and other professional skills, but many have not.
