is affirmative action an effective way to reduce the effects of discrimination ?

Your reaction paper should be 500-words long and should cover:

1. The main points that were presented by each team
2. Your critical assessment of the arguments available. In this case I am not looking for your subjective opinion or how you "feel" about the debate.  I am interested in your assessment of the logic used in the debate and the evidence presented. 
3. Your opinion (based on #2) as to which team won the debate.  

Be sure to include references and citations for any source that you use in writing your paper, including your textbooks.   Additional points will be deducted if you fail to follow any of the instructions.
