    When: Became a thing after JFK signed the executive order 10925 on 3/6/1961 that said “required government contractors to "take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin."
    Why: directed at increasing the number of people, from certain parts of the society, within business or educational institutions or in areas where their presence is low.
    - intended to make equal opportunities for minorities and women in education and employment

    -It's also good to know that sometimes it can hurt us because sometimes citizens are getting employed because they are a minority and not because they have the qualifications for the job 
    -In order to increase to education and job opportunities for citizens that are discriminated against, affirmation action programs try to ensure that they get special access to jobs and schools which to people isn't equality of opportunity.]]>     2018-05-22 04:35:19 UTC https://padlet.com/19carrascodiazn/2xxonxbrbwxt/wish/262563051     Connection between these terms and Affirmative Action Policies: 19caballerom https://padlet.com/19carrascodiazn/2xxonxbrbwxt/wish/262697943 - Civil Disobedience was used as way to protest Affirmative Actions

    - gives everyone an equal play in the field
    - helps make up for all the years of oppression some races faced]]>     2018-05-22 16:34:06 UTC https://padlet.com/19carrascodiazn/2xxonxbrbwxt/wish/262758914     CONS of Affirmative Action 19carrascodiazn https://padlet.com/19carrascodiazn/2xxonxbrbwxt/wish/262798718 - puts race as the dominant factor in admissions and hiring procedures. The best people fit for the position should be put there, regardless of race
    -  Students/workers who are put into a position through affirmative action sometimes aren't fully ready for the task. Not only is this not good for the university/company, but it is also not good for these students/workers as well because it lowers self-esteem.]]>     2018-05-22 18:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/19carrascodiazn/2xxonxbrbwxt/wish/262798718     19carrascodiazn https://padlet.com/19carrascodiazn/2xxonxbrbwxt/wish/262853813 2018-05-22 22:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/19carrascodiazn/2xxonxbrbwxt/wish/262853813 19carrascodiazn https://padlet.com/19carrascodiazn/2xxonxbrbwxt/wish/262856099 2018-05-22 22:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/19carrascodiazn/2xxonxbrbwxt/wish/262856099 19carrascodiazn https://padlet.com/19carrascodiazn/2xxonxbrbwxt/wish/262856170 2018-05-22 22:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/19carrascodiazn/2xxonxbrbwxt/wish/262856170
