Appeal to pity

Affirmative action is an intentional bias in selecting a person based on their ethnicity, age, social status, physical disabilities, or military career for selection in things like jobs. A bad argument in favor for affirmative action that appeals to pity would make the person listening to the argument feel bad for the potential people that are picked because of their ethnicity, social class, etc.

Affirmative action should be taken into effect immediately. I think that affirmative action is fair, because it allows minorities to have a fair opportunity in things like employment. Affirmative action helps minority groups that do not get enough voice. Everyone who is a minority should be helped. If affirmative action was never in place than minority groups would never have a chance at a good job or health care and be jobless with no good doctors when they are sick.

There are many holes in this argument with no proof or logic. This argument makes the reader feel bad for the group of people that affirmative action would not be helping if it were not taken into effect and that is the only argument that is presented.
