Answer to Question 2

 Conservatives generally oppose affirmative action because they believe it interferes with individual freedom, amounts to reverse discrimination, and denigrates the accomplishments of minority members.
 Liberals believe that affirmative action is a necessary correction for historical prejudice and discrimination directed against minorities.
 Radical leftists believe that only fundamental change in economic, political, and other social institutions can eliminate racial hierarchy.
