We do not reflectively
show the people of our country through our elected officials. Many still
believe that it should just be white men governing the country. Although, many
of the past presidents have shown that even though they themselves are the
president, the first lady is a very strong role as well. They have shown that
the women have a lot of pull about what happens. In the past the women have
made their influences behind closed doors, with the mask of a man voicing their
opinions.
That is not how it is
meant to be anymore. We should hear every ones voice, not only the white men
and the white women. We should let all races and genders be heard. Gone are the
days of silent women. Gone are the days of slavery and unequal rights to people
of color, or of different ethnic background. Gone are the days of being seen
and not heard. For our democracy to reflect more accurately we must make the changes
we want to see in it ourselves. We as a people must elect the women. We as a
people must elect the minorities. We as a people must allow them to represent
us for everything we stand for.
If we continue to let
our elected officials be represented by a minuscule population of the public,
we will never get the results that we are striving for. This reflection is of
our own doing, and it’s the job of the people everywhere in the United States
to correct it.
