Today we continued discussing about ethical theories, mainly about teleological theory and deontological theory. We also talked about affirmative action.
I searched about affirmative action few days ago because the term was on one of my research papers for my essay and I learned that affirmative action is also called as "Positive discrimination". I think the word has a point of using the term discrimination because it is actually a discrimination toward those of who are considered to be privileged.
I personally do not support affirmative action because it discriminates certain groups of people and thus, what it does to these groups of people is essentially the same as the discrimination toward people who are considered to have weaker social status, for example, the poor.
After having couple of discussion in class, I reached to a conclusion that teleological theory does not solve issues on gender and ethnic discrimination because there will always be some people who must suffer for the sake of achieving happiness of someone else.
I would like to learn about other ethical theories to see if they are better suited to solve these issues than the theories which we have studied in class.
