Implementing an Affirmative Action Plan
Affirmative action was created so people wouldn’t be discriminated against no matter what their race, color, religion, gender or national origin is. It was created to equalize education and employment opportunities. Although this plan was created there are still signs of discrimination in this business world today. So many people fought to end segregation but it still seems to be a problem in some areas throughout the world.

Diversity can also integrate new ideas into our evolving working society.

This will draw so much more people to our organization than ever before. This will also involve in giving individuals with disabilities or even minorities in general a helping hand in the workforce. This will help with having a diverse workforce and open connections with new businesses as well new partners with this type of newly created network. This will also break common stereotypes. We must ask ourselves, “Is it really going to be too much trouble to accommodate a woman? What about a person who is of the Muslim religion or what about a personal with a slight mental problem?” It’s not like I am asking for a lot. I am just asking to give some people a chance. We must give these people equal employment opportunity by not discriminating against other people that are known as
