Introduction
Affirmative action refers to positive steps taken to promote the representation of women and other minorities in previously excluded sectors such as education and employment. It champions equal opportunities for folks despite their gender, race, and disabilities (Fullinwider, 2018).

Instead, they progress with the notion that if equal opportunities are available to everybody, minority groups facing discrimination would have fair representation in the workforce and learning institutions. The paper probes the necessity of affirmative actions, how to implement them, the advantages and disadvantages, and a plan to apply affirmative actions in an organization.

In addition, affirmative actions promote education for disadvantaged students. Students from underprivileged families lack access to higher education thus remain trapped in poverty.

As expressed, affirmative actions play a significant role in improving the welfare of minority groups.
