Argumentative Essay Topics:
1.
According to certain activists, one way of improving diversity in the workplace is through Affirmative Action measures. Yet California, a traditionally liberal state, rejected Affirmative Action on their November 2020 ballots. Why might a Democratic supermajority state reject this solution to diversity issues? Investigate the problem related to increasing diversity and opportunity to people of all races and ethnicities, and then write an argumentative essay where you propose what you consider to be the best solution, whether it is Affirmative Action or some other solution, to help solve this problem long term.

In 2020, Black Lives Matter was both a hashtag and an organization; both the hashtag and the organization were particularly visible during the protests after George Floyds death during the summer of 2020. Some people willingly use the hashtag and support the organization. It is often stated that all lives cannot matter until Black lives matter. But others support the idea behind the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter while eschewing any relationship with the organization itself based on accusations of political extremism. Why would this organization appear extremist to some, causing them to reject its mission? Is this just a reflection of peoples dislike of the chaos created by the Floyd protests and riots (93% of which were considered peaceful according to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project at acleddata.com)? Or is it a symptom of deeper, implicit biases? Is there some legitimacy to the claims of extremism for the Black Lives Matter group? Consider a strategy to improve understanding of the Black Lives Matter movement, both including the formal organization and the idea, and the best way to decrease any potential biases against Black people. Where would you start? Write an essay argumentative defending your strategy.
