The moral legitimacy of preferential treatment has been a subject to a number of arguments amongst scholars of Philosophy. Some proponents of this theory argue that preferential treatment resolves the problem of inequality and creates the needed balance amongst members of the society. However, some opponents of preferential treatment argue that this theory rather deepens and encourages inequality it intends to stop by its lopsided “modus operandi,” because even the mere mention of the nomenclature “preferential” connotes unfair and unbalanced treatment meant to appease some individuals and offend others. At what point can preferential treatment be considered good and justified by all? Can there truly be a universally acceptable preferential treatment? If so, what is the yardstick and veracity of such a claim? Unfortunately, while this argument lingers without some sort of a unanimous agreement, preferential treatment holds sway on regular basis in the offices, families, industries, corporate organizations and so on. In order to unravel the morally legitimate ground on which this age-long theory should stand especially in our contemporary times, we have hermeneutically examined its pros and cons. Further deductions, evaluations and conclusion were made based on the findings. The efforts of the proponents of preferential treatment in trying to justify their position is properly recognized but the work concludes that no matter how these proponents canonize this theory and its modus operandi, its greatest weakness lies evidently bare on the table of controversial lopsidedness towards the manner in which it handles human affairs.
