Affirmative Action Debate

The Affirmative Action debate centers on policies aimed at increasing opportunities for historically marginalized groups, especially in education and employment. Supporters argue these measures help address past discrimination and promote diversity, which benefits society. Critics contend they can lead to reverse discrimination, favoring less qualified individuals based on race or gender rather than merit. The debate involves balancing efforts to promote equality with concerns about fairness and individual merit, often questioning whether such policies should prioritize remedying historical injustices or focus solely on individual qualifications.
