When you apply for a job or fill out a college application, how often are asked about things like your hair color, eye color, or height? Unless it's for a modeling or athletic position, probably never. Why? It's because hair & eye color or height don't have any effect on your ability to do a job or succeed at a school. There's no association between hair/eye color and intelligence, discipline, ambition, character, or other essentials. Conversely, there's no association between skin color and intelligence/discipline/etc. • Students admitted on this basis are often ill-equipped to handle the schools to which they've been admitted. Imagine a high school science fair contestant suddenly asked to take a rocket scientist job at NASA. There's a possibility of success in these situations, will be in over their heads. Schools like Harvard and Yale have high GPA and SAT requirements because it is extremely difficult to graduate from them. Thus, when they're forced to lower standards to achieve a minority quota, some students can't keep up. • Affirmative action lowers standards of accountability needed to push students or employees to perform better. If a minority student can get into Harvard with a 3.2 grade-point average, why should she push herself to get a 4.0? Although some students or employees are self-motivated, most people need an extra push or incentive to do their very best. By setting lower standards for admission or hiring, we are lowering the level of accountability. We should reward hard work, discipline, and achievement • It is condescending to minorities to say they need affirmative action to succeed. When you give preferential treatment to minorities in admission or hiring practices, you're in effect saying "You're too stupid or incapable of achieving on your own, so let me help you". It is condescending and insulting to imply that minorities cannot achieve their goals through hard work and ability. • It demeans true minority achievement; i.e. success is labeled as result of affirmative action rather than hard work and ability. Ask President Obama how they got to where they are -- hard work or affirmative action? Both were hired because they are bright, articulate, and well-suited for their positions. If you said they got to where they were strictly because of affirmative action he would be offended. The same can be said of minority doctors, lawyers, business leaders, etc. Their achievements are demeaned by people who believe preferential treatment got them to their current positions. Minorities must then work twice as hard to earn respect. 2010-09-23 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/1470526 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/1391378 positive and negative expressions 2010-07-13 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/1391378 http://www.flashcardexchange.com/flashcards/view/1356758 debating year long school.
