Richard Rodriguez on Affirmative Action
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper that looks specifically at Rodriguez's autobiography, Hunger of Memory, in order to analyze his opinions on affirmative action. Rodriguez has a unique ability to see minority issues from a slightly different perspective. This perspective is enlightening even if one does not agree with his conclusions. For instance, Rodriguez is opposed to affirmative action even though he admits that such social action programs benefited him throughout his academic career. The writer demonstrates that it is Rodriguez's views on class inequality rather then racial inequality that is at the basis of his philosophy. Quotations from the source. Bibiliography lists book itself as only source.

Why People Support Affirmative Action
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page paper presenting a literature review and an abbreviated survey-based research seeking attitudes and reasons why Affirmative Action policies appear to be ingrained forever in our society. Research findings indicate that while individuals, both African American and white, believe that the very program tends to extend racial discrimination rather than alleviate it, none wants to be accused of being either 'racist' or uncaring regarding the fate of others. The sample is a limited number of women equally divided according to race; the findings indicate that further research is warranted. Bibliography lists 16 sources.
