Pros And Cons Of Affirmative Action

My controversy is "Is the Affirmative Action having a positive effect on the United State society or Affirmative Action just not the right thing to do since it makes the society unfair to lots of people?" Affirmative action was once founded to help those people who have been suffering under segregation and domination to obtain representation in society and to balance the income disparity. Among all of the famous newspaper, the Washington Post believes that affirmative action program is "a careful effort to ensure diversity and brings more opportunities to minority."
