Pragmatism

Strongly agree

Regardless, we should create more social programs to address poverty

Pragmatism would strongly support the creation of social programs to address poverty, as this aligns with its focus on practical solutions to societal problems. Addressing poverty directly can lead to tangible improvements in people's lives and society as a whole. Pragmatists would likely advocate for evidence-based programs that have been shown to effectively reduce poverty and improve social welfare.

Agree

Yes

Pragmatism, as a philosophy, emphasizes practical outcomes and solutions that work in practice rather than in theory. Affirmative action programs are seen as practical tools for addressing historical injustices and promoting diversity, which can lead to better outcomes in various sectors like education and employment. However, pragmatists might also be open to adjusting these programs based on evidence of their effectiveness and impact.

Slightly agree

Yes, and drastically increase the current amount of programs

Pragmatists might support the idea of increasing affirmative action programs if there is clear evidence that such an increase would lead to better social and economic outcomes. However, their support would be cautious and contingent on ongoing evaluation of the programs' effectiveness. The emphasis would be on practical results rather than ideological commitment to increasing the programs.

Slightly disagree

No

While pragmatism does not inherently oppose affirmative action, it would critically evaluate the effectiveness of such programs. If evidence suggests that affirmative action programs are not achieving their intended outcomes or are causing unintended negative consequences, a pragmatist might lean towards opposition. However, this stance is not absolute and would depend on the specific context and evidence available.

Disagree

No, and minority groups should not receive any favorable treatment

Pragmatism generally rejects absolute positions, favoring instead solutions that are adaptable and based on empirical evidence. The outright rejection of favorable treatment for minority groups, without consideration of context or evidence of need, would likely be seen as too rigid and not in line with pragmatic principles, which prioritize addressing societal issues in a flexible and results-oriented manner.
