Affirmative action and EEO help businesses diversity

In order to give all persons a chance to show their full capability, affirmative action and Equal Employment Opportunity laws were enacted to ensure diversity in the work place. Many employers and business managers might not understand how important this is, so affirmative action training is often necessary. Affirmative action and EEO training is about more than just compliance, it is about understanding why these laws are in place and why they benefit organizations.

Affirmative action training helps employers understand what the concept is in the first place. Affirmative action requires federally contracted employers to hire employees that are reflective of the population around them, including all gender and racial and ethnic groups. With affirmative action training, employers should be able to avoid discrimination and perhaps negate some of the past discriminations. EEO training is also necessary for all employers, because this training includes correct behaviors from the time a person applies to the time they leave the company.

The ideas behind affirmative action and Equal Employment Opportunity laws are that everyone should have a fair chance, regardless of what the employer thinks about their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion or disability. A good affirmative action program should ensure EEO compliance and representation of minorities and women. An affirmative action plan should also include plans to eliminate any under presentation, and clearly state their plans to encourage affirmative action.

Generally, affirmative action training promotes diversity through training and development, work design, staffing and compensation programs. And besides EEO compliance, EEO training should incorporate other policy-related decisions considering diversity implications in the decision making process.

Without proper affirmative action and EEO training, organizational behavior and organizational policy is not always consistent. Qualified minorities and women might be gaining entrance to company doors, for example, but their career development might not be used in combination with a diversity orientation. An affirmative action programs should work toward enabling minorities and women to perform to their potential through career development.

With affirmative action the demographics should change to coincide with the national landscape. Organizations will have to change in order to retain commitment and mobilize the workforce for productivity. This shift will call for affirmative action training and EEO training. This should also be coupled with promoting qualified individuals even when they do not look or think like what has traditionally been viewed as “normal.”

That is truly what affirmative action is about; giving everyone a chance based on their qualifications and not the way they look like or the personal views they carry.

African American History: Home Schooler Guide to Affirmative Action

There are many who believe that affirmative action does more harm than good. They traditionally use the “two wrongs don't make a right” argument, positing that reverse-discrimination will only serve to increase racial tensions among demographic groups. In addition, opponents believe that affirmative action sacrifices performance quality in work and learning by allowing less-capable people to bring down the overall level of quality in the environment.

The underlying assumption that affirmative action proponents take is that racial blindness is not enough to ensure that minority groups will achieve equal footing with whites. They suggest that employers, college admissions officials, and others in similar positions should retroactively act in favor of minorities on a racial basis as opposed to a purely merit-based selection guideline. This position is based on the assumptions that past discrimination should be retroactively counterbalanced with providing minorities special consideration.

Secondly, it assumes that those already in power cannot judge merit fairly given their prejudice in the past and their propensity to look favorably on those from similar backgrounds. Those in favor of affirmative action believe that the ends justify the means. Promoting diversity is worth the sacrifice of what amounts to reverse-discrimination.

Affirmative Action, Is It Good Or Bad?

This article does not discuss the legalities of affirmative action, I leave that to the courts. This article is solely about the philosophy of affirmative action.

According to Wikipedia, affirmative action "is a policy or a program promoting the representation in various systems of people of a group who have traditionally been discriminated against, with the aim of creating a more egalitarian society". In my opinion, affirmative action, at least as it has been instituted in this country, is wrong, harmful, racist and prejudicial. Affirmative action, at least in this country, seems to be based, solely, on race or gender.

In example, take two male high school students, both attend the same low income area high school, one is 'black' and one is 'white'. The 'black' student's family, immigrated to this country from Canada fourteen years ago, his father works full time and his mother is a 'stay at home mom'. The 'white' student's ancestors immigrated to this country eighty years ago, his father was killed, in a home invasion robbery, when he was six years old and his mother works part time as a waitress in a diner. The 'black' student has a grade point average of 3.05 with an S.A.T. score of 1085. The 'white' student has a grade point average of 3.55 and a S.A.T. score of 1270. Both students are polite and well mannered. Neither belongs to a gang or has any criminal record. Both want to go to a good university so both apply to U.C.L.A.. Under affirmatve action, which student would be accepted? The 'white' student would not be covered under affirmative action, as 'whites' have not traditionally been discriminated against, and no duty is owed him for being poor and fatherless (being poor and fatherless is not considered disadvantaged and the fact that he attended the same low income school as the 'black' student is also not considered a disadvantage for a 'white'). The 'black student, however, is considered disadvantaged and is considered to come from a race that has traditionally been discriminated against (The fact that his family recently came here from Canada, the fact that he has a parent that works full time and the fact that he has not suffered racial discrimination does not matter.). Under affirmative action, the 'black' student would not only be accepted, he would be eligible for financial aid. The 'black' student would go to U.C.L.A. and the 'white' student would probably end up at a community college.

Change the above example to a 'black student and a 'hispanic' student and the 'black' student would be accepted because 'blacks' rank higher on the disadvantaged charts. Between a 'hispanic' and a 'white' the hispanic would be accepted because 'whites' don't rank on the chart, neither do 'orientals', South East Asians or Jews. The fact that Orientals, South East Asians and Jews have been discriminated against in this country doesn't matter as the 'political correctness' police in this country do not consider them, to have traditionally been discriminated against enough, to be disadvantaged. The only student that would be ranked higher on the disadvantaged chart would be a 'black' female student. Furthermore, a rich 'black' student who attended the best schools would rank the sames as a poor 'black' student who attended a low income school.

Some universities are no longer allowed to use affirmative action as a criteria so they now use 'cultural diversity' as their criteria. To me affirmative action and cultural diversity are the same thing. Both use racial and gender profiling in order to decide who is accepted. This is America and everyone is supposed to be equal and recieve equal treatment. Racial and gender profiling tells people that some races and females are less capable than others and therefore need special help in reaching their potential. Profiling harms this country by telling people that they are not all equal under the eyes of the law. Profiling tells some people that they are not as intelligent or as capable as other people and that they can't make it without help. It tells other people that because they are 'white', they don't deserve help. It rewards some people while punishing other people. This divides the country and causes, in effect, class warfare. America is a land of immigrants who should have been melded into one great class of people, Americans. To tell them that 'blacks', whites', 'hispanics', 'orientals', etc. are all different and have different abilities keeps this country from being united. To grant advantages to one group over another is discriminitory and divisive. To tell 'blacks', 'hispanics' and others that they can't make it without outside help is to tell them that that they are not as capable as 'whites', 'orientals' and others.

Some of you may be wondering why I keep placing single quotation marks around certain words like 'black', 'white', etc.. It is because I do not like using labels like 'black' and 'white' to describe people. Other words like 'hispanic' are, in my opinion, used improperly as they tend to catagorize people from many different countries or groups into one group. All 'blacks' are not the color of black, all 'whites' are not the color of white and all 'hispanics' are not necessarily of Spain or Spanish speaking (Brazilians, for example, are classified 'hispanic' even though they speak Portuguese and most are descended from Portugal or some African country.). As far as I am concerned all people that are American citizens (naturalized or other) or live permanently in the United State Of America are either American citizens or American residents. To label them otherwise is to denigrate, isolate and seperate them from each other. Discussing concepts, like affirmative action and cultural diversity, force the use of such labels.

The people of this country need to be brought together, not seperated. Being proud of your ancestors and your heritage is one thing, being rewarded, punished or seperated because of your ancestors or heritage is something else entirely. Being rewarded because others of your race or gender were mistreated in the past is wrong and being punished for what others of your race or gender did in the past is equally wrong. How would you like to be fined for horse stealing because you are a 'white' male and some other 'white' male stole a horse over fifty years ago or even last week? Untill all people in this country are treated equally, and with the same respect, and are given the same chances, we will never be "One nation under God, indivisable, with liberty and justice for all". Discrimination is wrong, no matter who is being discriminated against.

Note: For any of you that object to my keeping the phrase "under God" in that last quote, tough. That is the way I say it. If you don't want to say it that way, then don't. Just don't try to tell me that I can't say it that way. To those of you that object to my using the word 'black' instead of the words 'African-American', again I say tough. To me 'African-American' is just as much a misnomer as 'Hispanic'. I believe that the word 'black' is improper, however, I hate to use the word American when there is a hyphen before it. To me an American is an American. I didn't write this article to be 'politicaly correct', I wrote this artice in order to say what I think. If you want 'political correctness', go elsewhere.

		Affirmative Prayer - One Key To Power	Alan Tutt	2005-01-08
Title: Affirmative Prayer - One Key To Power Affirmative Prayer - One Key To Power by Alan Tutt http://www.KeysToPower.com There are many keys to Power. One key which provides many people with solid, reliable results is affirmative prayer. In this article, I will explain what affirmative prayer is, why it works, and how to use it. While there are many types of prayer, affirmative prayer is the most scientific, and the most reliable. But what is affirmative prayer? Affirmative prayer is a prayer where you don't ask for anything, rather you make a statement as though what you want already exists. For instance, instead of asking for a large financial income, your affirmation would be something like "I am now making $100,000 per year, doing what I enjoy doing. I am happy in the job I have, and I work with wonderful people." But why would we want to pray this way? Because it works! Is there any other reason? Yes, because the process is more enjoyable. How enjoyable is going to your boss at work and asking for something, like a raise? Most people would rather avoid it. The same feeling usually comes up when trying to ask for something in prayer. You usually feel as if you have to prove yourself, or give something in exchange for what you are asking. But there is no need to give up anything in exchange for what you want. Most religions have taught us that God is just like a person, and has many of the same caprices, temperaments, and moods that any human has. This is just not so. God is so far beyond our petty emotional fickleness that you could almost see God as being another natural law in the Universe. The Christian Bible even quotes God as saying "I am the same, yesterday, today, and forever." or something to that effect. Do you really care what the bacteria in your stomach want? Do you care what the worms in your back yard are doing? NO! You will continue to do whatever it is you normally do and let them do their thing. You will eat the same foods, giving the bacteria the nutrition they need, and you will cut the grass from time to time giving the worms what they need to survive. Your actions do not change based on what these lower level life forms do. God is the same way. God (neither He nor She) has set up the Universe so that each individual can get whatever they want if they will but use the resources available. One of these resources is the supply of Universal Power that supports and sustains the Universe and all Life. If you are alive, then you have access to this Power. In the Christian Bible, there are many references to the availability of this Power. Christ Himself taught that as long as you believe that you will receive what you ask for in prayer, that you will indeed receive it! His great example of prayer (The Lord's Prayer) does not ask for anything. It commands! "Give us this day...", not "Could I please have....". The example is missed by most, who continue to ask, beg, and go without. God has created you in such a way that you can supply your own needs! All you have to do is tap into the Universal Power and command what you want to come into being! Of course, this theory is all well and good, but the real question is exactly how do you go about doing this? It's simple really, although not necessarily easy. The first step is to make contact with this great supply of Power. This first step is the one that most people will have the hardest time with. In the Keys To Power - Step by Step course, we spend several lessons working on various aspects of this, to insure that you can reliably make this contact any time you want. Here, I can only cover the basics. At it's simplest level, making contact with the spiritual source of Power is about having the intention to do so. Your inner mind handles the intricate details of managing your connection to the spiritual realities. You have to communicate to your inner mind that you want to open the gates to spiritual Power and you want access to that Power now. You can communicate this intention in several ways. You can affirm "I am opening up my connection to spiritual Power, and this Power fills my being with great intensity!" This is a time-honored method which has been used very effectively. Another approach is to imagine going into the deepest recesses of your being and opening the gateway and releasing Power for your use. A third option is to imagine yourself going into an imaginary workroom/temple/holy place, and using imaginary tools to make contact with this Power. If you use this third option, you have to believe that what you are imagining will be echoed in reality. Faith is the foundation of all spiritual activities, including making contact with Spirit itself. You will know when you make contact with spiritual Power. Different people sense the presence of Power in different ways. Most will feel heat, or pressure, or will perceive a greater luminance. Some will feel a sense of cold, or a light airiness around them. When you make contact, then you are ready for the second step, which is to affirm what you are asking for as though it were already true. You will usually want to create your affirmative prayer before you start, however. We mentioned one example at the beginning of this article, dealing with money. Another example, to create an ideal relationship, could be: "I am in love with a wonderful partner, who loves me dearly. We spend many happy hours together sharing interests, hobbies, and just enjoying each other's company. This is an ideal relationship, I am completely happy with my partner, and my partner is completely happy with me. Neither of us wants to change the other." Whatever you want out of life, you can have. Do whatever you can on the physical level to bring it about, and add the assistance of the spiritual level with affirmative prayers. God Bless You. ====================================================== Alan Tutt is the creator of the phenomenally popular Keys To Power Mastery System.

		Following Affirmative Action Programs	Scott Bizwick	2008-05-05
Title: Following Affirmative Action Programs The affirmative action program is a very important factor to keep in mind for anyone who in is the human resources department or at a managerial level, regardless of the size of the company. It is not essential to cater to quotas, at least formally, when it comes to affirmative action program. Quite a few specialist in the human resources field, advice against quotas, but on the other hand it has to be seen that your organization is taking sound initiative to implement a program to increase the number of minorities and women if they are not appropriately represented. The affirmative action programs work in an efficient manner with a modern and productive office, even though many people in charge have a problem with it, it can also provide you with the finest people doing the most excellent work possible. Here is a great employment information site http://www.myemploymentresource.com. Contrary to what you might think, it would be a good idea to get in touch with a consultant who has practice in the implementation of the affirmative action programs with other firms, and thus can give you all the help that is needed. Your business can be assisted in quite a number of ways with an optimum affirmative action. These programs defends you from any discrimination law suits that might be possible, and at the same time helps you to find the best possible people that are present and thus tying to do away with the unseen prejudices that are present in every business. It is often seen that one sect of society be it women or blacks are either under-employer or under-paid while the other groups enjoy power in their positions, even though women and men, and blacks and whites are all alike. You might not encourage this discrimination yourself, but the bias that exits in our society, can only be done away with an affirmative action program and very hard otherwise. If you don’t have an effective affirmative action program you might fail to spot the gifted people due to the fact that they are part of the under-represented cultures. For firms that intend to do business with the government have to have an affirmative action program, or an AAP. You might lose precious government contracts just because you don’t have a functional affirmative action program. Many businesses don’t just consider affirmative action program as good business sense, but as a business necessity. A fact that has to be remembered is that if you don’t have an up to date affirmative action program, you might be ruining your business without having the slightest idea about it. business Business Business

		Is Affirmative Action In Jeopardy On College Campuses?	Chris Davis	2005-11-12
Title: Is Affirmative Action In Jeopardy On College Campuses? Affirmative action and other set-asides for minorities and women have come under increasing fire in recent years. These programs, first started decades ago, were once a given in higher education for everything from admission to financial aid. Today, women and minority students cannot count on the same level assistance from affirmative action that their parents may have received. The backlash against affirmative action comes largely from the group that feels damaged by these programs--white males. As the standard of living for African Americans in the United States has risen, whites claim that the “leg up” provided by set-aside programs constitutes an unfair advantage. Similarly, white males point out that since women now make up the majority of college students, they can hardly claim discrimination. The critics of affirmative action promote a merit-based system, in which admission and scholarships are awarded to the most worthy, with race or gender not considered at all. The exclusively merit-based system, however, has itself come under attack. Supporters of affirmative action claim that there is no fair way to determine merit. Tests, like the SAT, have always produced a mark disparity in results between blacks and whites. Other factors used to rank college applicants, such as grade point averages and advanced placement classes, vary widely from one school to another. In fact, many minority leaders claim that there is no completely objective way to measure ability. They believe that a person’s background or the obstacles he/she may have overcome are just as important as grades and standardized tests. According to affirmative action supporters, the merit system fails to produce an element vital to higher education--diversity. This, they say, is necessary for a well-rounded college experience, as well as for societal stability. Despite the rhetoric and passions on both sides, the future of affirmative action is likely to be determined by the courts, not by the activists. Recent state court rulings have upheld policy changes in key states such as Texas, Florida, and California, that now restrict how schools can use race and gender as factors in determining admission. Although the Supreme Court has not yet issued a definitive ruling, two things are now apparent. First, race cannot be the sole factor in determining admission. Second, when race is one of the factors, the school must demonstrate a compelling interest for the government to allow it. Exactly what constitutes a “compelling” interest remains to be seen. In order to maintain diversity on their campuses, universities have developed innovative ways of achieving the same goals without violating the new restrictions. Often called a “holistic” method, some schools now consider a variety of factors besides grades and test scores. For example, students who had a difficult home life or had to work during their high school years in order to help support their family may get special consideration. Furthermore, corporations and various private foundations have increased their funding for minority scholarships in order to make up for any drop in federal or state-sponsored aid. It is unlikely that affirmative action will be completely eliminated. Too many schools are committed to maintaining a diverse student body. College administrators will find one way or another to achieve balance in their admissions. However, if the current trends continue, women and minorities will need to seek out new sources of college financial aid, and develop new strategies for gaining entrance to the nation’s top universities.

		The Affirmative Action Debate	Kenny Du	2005-07-15
Title: The Affirmative Action Debate Affirmative action is one of the most controversial political issues facing America. Most often, affirmative action assists disadvantaged groups by improving placement in higher education and employment, and the term is most often conceived as a program to improve the standing of African Americans. People take different stances on the issue, supporting their opinions with various justifications, such as the need for equality and natural competition. Although it was created to help advance the position of disadvantaged peoples, some view affirmative action as an unfair, and even prejudicial, force in our society. While the Johnson administration institutionalized affirmative action, the struggle for equality actually began a century earlier with the passage of important legislation. In the late 1860s and early 1870s, the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments respectively abolished slavery, guaranteed African Americans citizenship and voting rights. The 1866 Civil Rights Act helped to ensure property rights for African Americans. However, in 1896, the Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court Case justified segregation, declaring that African Americans could be “separate but equal,” spurring the rise of prejudicial and racist Jim Crow laws. Started by Lyndon Johnson’s Executive Order 11246, affirmative action was conceived to provide equal advantages to all peoples, and to address past governmental injustices by providing support for groups that have been historically discriminated against. Many people would argue that it is our government’s prime responsibility to correct inequities and to create a more just society. Many take the view that affirmative action is more of a patch than a cure-all. Opponents of affirmative action argue that affirmative action shares the same purpose as the concept of slavery reparations: it punishes the majority for the misdeeds of earlier generations. Further, while affirmative action may seem to make society more egalitarian, its critics argue that the policies are anti-meritocratic and are, actually, a manifestation of “reverse-racism.” The affirmative action debate lends itself to some important questions, such as: Does the government have a responsibility to correct social inequities? Does affirmative action accomplish its objective of creating a more just society, or is it a manifestation of “reverse-racism”? affirmative african rights Politics News and Society
		Affirmative Action and Eeo Help Businesses Diversity	Groshan Fabiola	2007-06-15
Title: Affirmative Action and Eeo Help Businesses Diversity In order to give all persons a chance to show their full capability, affirmative action and Equal Employment Opportunity laws were enacted to ensure diversity in the work place. Many employers and business managers might not understand how important this is, so affirmative action training is often necessary. Affirmative action and EEO training is about more than just compliance, it is about understanding why these laws are in place and why they benefit organizations. Affirmative action training helps employers understand what the concept is in the first place. Affirmative action requires federally contracted employers to hire employees that are reflective of the population around them, including all gender and racial and ethnic groups. With affirmative action training, employers should be able to avoid discrimination and perhaps negate some of the past discriminations. EEO training is also necessary for all employers, because this training includes correct behaviors from the time a person applies to the time they leave the company. The ideas behind affirmative action and Equal Employment Opportunity laws are that everyone should have a fair chance, regardless of what the employer thinks about their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion or disability. A good affirmative action program should ensure EEO compliance and representation of minorities and women. An affirmative action plan should also include plans to eliminate any under presentation, and clearly state their plans to encourage affirmative action. Generally, affirmative action training promotes diversity through training and development, work design, staffing and compensation programs. And besides EEO compliance, EEO training should incorporate other policy-related decisions considering diversity implications in the decision making process.
