Addressing Outreach for Pregnant African American Women in
Oakland County, Michigan
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page paper discussing whether Pontiac,
Michigan should institute a program targeting the city's African American population of
women of child-bearing age. Infant mortality within this population is higher than that of
any other ethnic group, and that within Pontiac is greater than Michigan's average. The
paper examines results of California - where activity is supported by policy - and North
Carolina, where effort is limited to effort only. It is California that has the greatest
success, for it allows the working poor also to have access to the medical services needed
for prenatal care. The paper suggests that Pontiac take the same approach, and market
the program more through direct contact in public places than through printed material
that all women may not be able to read. Bibliography lists 19 sources.

Affirmative Action
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. When affirmative action was first introduced, its primary purpose was to give minority groups the same -- or better -- chance as their white counterparts. What that meant for the academic world was if two entrance candidates were equally qualified on all levels, yet one was a minority and the other was white, the minority would automatically be accepted. There are times, however, when an underqualified minority wins out over a qualified white male just to meet the necessary quota. The writer discusses the background and ideology of affirmative action. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Affirmative Action's Decreased Relevance
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing whether there is any
reason to continue affirmative action policies now. In attempting to assess the true impact of
affirmative action policies over the years, there is disagreement regarding degrees of wage gains,
but there is little disparity of opinion in the fact that gains have been made. Whatever positive
effects affirmative action policies have had over the years, those policies' usefulness now appears
to be dated and irrelevant themselves. There seems to be little if any legitimate reason to continue
them. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Affirmative Action’s Continuing Relevance
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper discussing the current relevance of affirmative action initiative in light of organizations’ discovery of the benefits of the diverse workforce. The goal, however, should be to discourage discrimination of any kind. In this light, businesses should strive to build workforces more diverse than the law requires. Not only is it good for business in general, it also allows the organization greater freedom in hiring so that it can first select candidates based on qualification, rather than on demographic characteristics. Bibliography lists 1 source.
