In this assignment, you will write a five-paragraph argumentative essay based on one of the three topics provided below. Pay attention when developing your arguments and counterarguments.
Please note that each topic comes with an article that you need to read beforehand. Somewhere in your essay, you need to cite the accompanying article at least once; if you wish, you can also cite other articles, but this one is a must. The article assigned to the topic should not be analyzed as a primary source but should only serve as supporting evidence either for one of your arguments or counterarguments. The accompanying articles are attached to this assignment, and they also provide a direct link for the article itself. Please do not quote; instead, you should paraphrase.
Please note that you must submit this essay as a Word document, and it has to follow proper APA format and structure.
According to certain activists, one way of improving diversity in the workplace is through
Affirmative Action measures. Yet California, a traditionally liberal state, rejected Affirmative Action on their November 2020 ballots. Why might a Democratic supermajority state reject this solution to diversity issues? Investigate the problem related to increasing diversity and opportunity to people of all races and ethnicities, and then write an argumentative essay where you propose what you consider to be the best solution, whether it is Affirmative Action or some other solution, to help solve this problem long term.
Read the article titled “Beyond the Pale. Race in Silicon Valley.”
