Ethics
Firstly, I do believe it is necessary, and even vital, to redress discrimination against women and other minorities as previously promoted in the workplace. This is simply a further result of the fact that increasing amounts of business are finally understanding the fact that the whole American nation is entitled to the same opportunities and rights, regardless of any obvious physical differences. Having said that, however, I also feel that some of the practices adopted by both businesses and society are on the side of the other extreme with regard to discrimination.
I believe that affirmative action programs in the workplace have their value. They provide opportunities where there were none in the past. However, it is all too easy for these to become reverse discrimination, which is also not in accordance with the principles of a free and democratic society. If a person is for example appointed more on the strength of skin color than on qualification, several negative impacts may result.
This person may for example be ostracized from the workplace community, because other workers perceive favoritism, whereas the worker may himself wonder whether there is any merit in the hiring practice. Furthermore, resentment could be cultivated in society as a whole, as some may feel that they are deprived of the opportunities that minority groups have been receiving with almost no effort at all.
In conclusion, therefore, while I believe that it is necessary to redress inequality issues, I also believe that the way in which this is currently done results only in more discrimination, resentment and bitterness. Instead, I think that the workplace should be entirely free of bias, resorting only to merit and education level when hiring new employees. Only in this way will people be encouraged to make their best effort in education and also in the workplace. I do not think that people should be hired with any consideration for skin color or any other issues related to race. The workplace should be populated with the best in the market, regardless of race.

Even if we are vaguely aware the clerk may be charged -- it is his or her mistake, we say to ourselves. We think we have absolute ethical standards, but we function on a case-by-case basis when making decisions in reality. Does this mean, however, that absolute ethical standards are required to weigh against the negative consequences of relativism? Firstly, these examples highlight the difficulty of living by absolute
