Pragmatism

Agree

No

From a pragmatic viewpoint, the decision to maintain affirmative action requirements for federal contractors would be based on an assessment of their effectiveness and impact. If affirmative action has been shown to contribute positively towards creating equal opportunities and reducing systemic barriers for disadvantaged groups, pragmatists would likely support its continuation. The emphasis would be on the tangible benefits and improvements these policies bring to society and the workforce, rather than on ideological commitments to either equality or meritocracy. Historical instances where affirmative action has led to increased diversity and inclusion in sectors previously dominated by homogeneity could serve as a practical justification for its maintenance.

Disagree

Yes

Pragmatism, as an ideology, focuses on the practical outcomes and effects of policies rather than their theoretical foundations. While not inherently for or against affirmative action, pragmatists would likely evaluate the effectiveness of such requirements in achieving their goals, such as reducing inequality and promoting diversity. Historical evidence showing the positive impacts of affirmative action in improving opportunities for historically marginalized groups might lead pragmatists to lean against eliminating these requirements, unless there were clear, practical evidence showing that these goals could be better achieved through other means.
