Alexander: audience: person or group that an author is most interested in reaching or persuading, alexander"s intended audience is not captive undergraduates or a handful of specialists in the field. Intended audience is people who are interested and care about civil right: african americans in particular, latinos, people who want civil justice in america to be fair (not just aa, also civil class white people) americans. However, didn"t affect white people as much as it does african. We"re so concerned with protecting affirmative action that. Affirmative action: why do we have it: points out that affirmative action is used as a remedy. Ciritical of affirmative action to the central role that it plays: not necessarily against it for more traditional reasons, took affirmative action to make african americans apart of society. Affirmative action definition: l. b. johnson; slavery is a franchise. Shouldn"t take bribes when trying to fight for justice.
