Question

Arguments for affirmative action based on reasons of compensatory justice must show that compensation to members of certain groups is justified.

a) true
b) false

Answer 1

true

Step-by-step explanation:

affirmative action is policy that takes into consideration minority groups or groups discrimated or underrepresented in providing opportunities to the masses. Affirmative action tries to balance the opportunity gap between groups based on such things as race, gender,

religion, sexual orientation or national origin to ensure equality among all people. Compensatory justice works to make affirmative action possible, ensuring fairness by redistributing opportunities such as preferences that may be given to people of color or women to enable them achieve equality. However affirmative action must be justified by ensuring groups seen as underrepresented are truly underrepresented
