Affirmative Action

Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. This quote has always been used through out TV shows and what not to get people to try their hardest and do well in society. However, most people wouldnt recognize this as the very definition of affirmitive action. Where one person is not judged by the color of their skin or where the came from, rather on the physical attributes and mental tenacity that they can bring to the table. Like we discussed in class the other day, most people believe black people should be presented this oppurtunity to get a college education because they dont have the same chances that other people have. In addition, and another argument was made why cant they just work as hard as some of the asian immigrants that come ehre having to learn english and what not. Both cases, follow a sort of racial stereotype that we in the modern world are beginning to look past. Beginning with teh inauguration and election of our new president barrack obama. This is truly the symbol of change and the notion that affirmitave action is working, and that we shouldnt weigh ourselves down or allow other to do the same with the color of our skin or where we came from.
