Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
Whether implementing affirmative action policies does more harm than good (or more good than harm) is a matter of debate.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
A Kantian would certainly believe that no one should be (unjustly) discriminated against, but her reasons would be different. The Kantian is concerned with respecting persons' dignity and autonomy, not maximizing overall happiness.
