Unfortunately affirmative action cannot tell society to behave in a way that would place every individual, every minority group on equal footing. Today, the employment opportunities for minorities has increased. Minorities education is increasing slowly, hence the level of job opportunities has changed. Minority people have the right to apply for jobs, contracts, and higher paying employment if they are qualified. Affirmative action has given minorities the freedom to obtain equal employment opportunities.
Education is a necessity of life.
For an individual to survive in todays society the need for an education is imperative. Education is an ugly display of how affirmative action is only a piece of paper with a written law on it. Unfortunately, minority groups of people still have the constant issue of trying to get a fair, equal, education. There are many scholarships, financial grants and aids, both federal and state for minority individuals, however, not all children obtain an education today. Society has found that the environment in which minority groups grow up in, needs to improve.
