Journal Entry: 1)What is "Affirmative Action"? If you are not sure, look it up on line. How do you feel about this practice? Where does is it seem to work? Where might it seem a problem?
An affirmative action is program to stop discrimination: a policy or program aimed at countering discrimination against minorities and women, especially in employment and education. I think that this practice is a good idea. It is ideal for women in the middle east who don't have enough freedom over their own lives as they should. I think as it is good for them, it would also be a bad thing as well. The people in the middle east are big on males being the dominating power, and i dont think they would be able to handle it like we wuld like them too. It would most likely cause an uproar which would cause major conflicts.

Interesting entry, Courtney. I never really thought about affirmative action in another country. It could be the cause of many more unnecessary conflict in that region. Mrs. P
