Dope People Vote

11/4/2018

So...yesterday I went to vote, which totally means I'm dope. And although the outcome wasn't all blue, I still have hope, don't you?

One thing I am so proud of is knowing that I had a say in boosting so many women into high political arenas. I don't know what that could mean for the United States, but usually, when women take over, things get done!

Tuesday night was epic for women and minorities in politics. To highlight some women firsts: Houston, Texas, elected nineteen black, female judges; the youngest woman ever was elected to Congress (and she is Puerto Rican); Boston elected the first woman and the first African American District Attorney; Massachusetts elected the first Black woman ever to Congress; Connecticut elected its first black woman ever to Congress; the first Somali-American ever was elected to Congress; the first two Muslim women ever were elected to Congress; and two Native American women were elected to Congress, and one is openly gay!

Other minorities who won big on election night include gay men and an Iranian-American man!

Until yesterday, not since 2008, have I been more proud to be an American voter. In my fantasies, Democrats and Republicans will work together to make life better for all Americans and immigrants, and finally be embraced as the inclusive country that we are intended to be.

Read the commentary above, then comment on the following: "What impact do you think the election of so many women and minorities in such high political positions will have on the United States and why?"

1. INCLUDE: First initial AND last name AND class period.

2. Respond in no more than 10 sentences and no less than five.

3. You MUST respond to at least TWO other posts from any student. Your replies cannot be identical comments on different posts and posting shallow comments such as "I agree" or "I disagree" will earn you a zero. Make sure your reply addresses the comment that you are responding to.
Be sure to--

Be clear about your position
Provide specific support for your argument
Use rhetorical devices and other grammar elements
Write EPIC Content-Engaging, Powerful, Informative, Creative

CAUTION!! Do NOT embarrass me, yourself, your class, the English department, the school or your parents with tasteless, meaningless comments. This is for a grade.

DISCLAIMER: If you do not respond AND comment on TWO others, you will not receive credit for this assignment. It's all or nothing.

As a female minority, i understand the significance of voting. We're the most disrespected class of people and don't have a voice. if we started to vote more, maybe they'd finally start to understand that we matter as well. Republicans are not and do not work in the favor of women or minorities. We as a community have to stand up for ourselves, because they aren't gping to do it for us.

The most disrespected class of people in America is the black man. It's practically 2019, women definitely have a voice and if you don't, you should work on that.

Women have been in suffrage for to long . Even when blacks got the right to vote WHITE WOMEN still couldn’t vote and they were the majority. We have been disrespected for to long and some will still continue to mock us and treat us unequally. It’s crazy that you’re a woman and can’t see that you sometimes struggle more than a black man .

How is a black man the most disrespected class of people ? Women have been abused, assaulted, degraded, and mocked for as long as there was an earth . Yes black men do struggle a lot in society but black women or women in general are definitely the most disrespected class of people . It's 2019 and women STILL aren't respected.

K.phillips 6th

I won't entirely agree but I won't entirely disagree with your statement. However, the focus shouldn't be on who is suffering the most- because if that was the case nothing would ever get done. We have to know our linage and the pain with it, and let that be the driving force that kicks us into action. That's the only way things can get done around here.

K Eagans

11/8/2018 04:26:38 pm

I agree because it’s the truth. This has been proven by President Obama and Michelle Obama. When they were in the White House things got done to benefit minorities and not try to hold us back.

I totally agree because, they look at women all over the world as an joke and to soft to sick up and do what they need to do to get through. But that’s not true women make an difference. We have finnaly put our doors down.

Marqueshia Richardson

I'm just thinking on this and how we all agree that women can be in office but we make mistakes also is it only just to say "hay we can do it too" now Trump is a different story but i don't know about all this cause Trump is talking about implanting some microchips in our bodies.

I agree so much with you, It’s hard to be a woman and a minority when the government is ran by old white men who have no clue what it’s like to be faced with struggles that they do. Republicans are so conservative and close minded, it creates a gap between the government and the people.

I. Jones 6th Period

I definitely agree with you. Women need a bigger voice so our needs can be met .

J Griffith 2nd

I agree because before women could vote, they could only vote for whoever their husbands voted for.

N. Medina 6th

I agree with this personally because I feel as a women we don’t get treated the same as men. For example the pay

N. Medina 6th

grade in the soccer community one of the top women’s teams gets payed way less than men just because they aren’t “entertaining enough” even if they are better than most male teams.

K. Brown 8th

11/11/2018 10:22:09 pm

I hate to nitpick about the phrase "Most disrespected class of people" because I find it semi-true. But it is true that people of color should vote more often, because that way their voice could be heard more often. Not only that but then their would be a chance that things could end off more in the favor than it was before.

J.James 6th Period

11/8/2018 01:07:29 pm

To have women and people that look different then what we are used and some that look like me is awesome. This could potentially change the future of this country. All of these people will bring different views and ideas to people’s attention. Also, these person’s elect might get a chance to correct the mistakes made by our president. With people of all different backgrounds and beliefs coming together make this country better. This is our chance to make the America we want.

E jakoria 1st period

N. Medina 6th

11/9/2018 09:35:38 pm

Having a diverse set of people in high positions will definitely bring in new ideas because we all have different backgrounds and ethnicities that we can use to make decisions to better the future of our country.

11/9/2018 07:22:06 pm

With all honesty, it is great that we have, people of color in high political positions. It can, because they will present ideas that support the common good, of people of color. To be honest, the government officials need to be informed on new views and ideas, to make themselves and others better. That would be great, if they rectify the mistakes made by our president and congress. Lastly, this great that people with different backgrounds and beliefs, are coming together to make decisions for our country.

M. Sanchez 6th pd.

It is awesome to have different people with new perspectives. This country needs a new wave of something good to keep us together because the people that we have representing us now are only doing good for themselves.

I agree that the new elections will change the future of the country. This will break the tradition of mostly white men being in power.

K Eagans 3rd

11/8/2018 04:21:41 pm

I think since so many women and minorities were voted for that many problems we have in America will be resolved. I believe that because they’ll work harder than the white people because they have so many people counting on them. Another reason is because they know how it feels to be a minority even if they are now in high positions, that’ll make them want to get things done the right way.

C.Jones 6th

11/9/2018 07:59:26 am

They will work harder because they have something to prove.

J.Natal

11/9/2018 06:55:37 pm

We all work hard, the only people who have to work hard the the people that didn’t have parents who made them work hard. Democrats want to give us handouts so we can’t take their place. That’s why we have section 8.

D.Gadson

11/9/2018 11:25:35 pm

I think everyone is going to work hard reguardless to make things happen.

H Aleman 8th period

11/8/2018 04:22:13 pm

The election of many women and minorities into high political positions will satisfy America's lack of diversity in the office. The election would also give black minorities a voice to speak up on what they face. It could be encouraging to young little girls who are hungry for political success. It could give young black boys something to look up to. Young black men would feel safer, knowing that there is someone in office who looks likes them and lives like them. The election of minorities in political positions is so important in ensuring that everyone is represented equally and properly.

M. Jimerson

11/8/2018 07:10:06 pm

I completely agree because seeing as of today there are so many African American boys are afraid to even walk outside will hopefully change because there are people in Congress who look like them, and that can give them hope that they need and deserve.

M. Hollywood 2nd

11/8/2018 11:21:19 pm

I agree giving everyone a voice is a big deal because you should hear the opinion of several people with different backgrounds helps the diversity.

J. Griffith 2nd

11/8/2018 04:45:32 pm

The impact of many women and minorities voting during the election is that it gives them a louder voice. For women voters, it gave them a voice in politics with the consent of a black man. Women are able to exercise their rights in the election. For minorities, it also gives them a voice but also a purpose. Without many of the minorities we have today, we would have the things we have today.

M. Mason

11/8/2018 07:00:05 pm

In today’s time it is a big deal that women and minorities are in office. It is amazing to know that there will finally be change for women and minorities. Our voices will finally be heard. Everyone’s vote will most definitely change things. As a minority I am proud to know that things will finally change for my future and so many others like me. This impact will form many positive things for future generations.

D. Jones 3rd

11/9/2018 05:07:06 pm

I agree i think that if the women of color have a bigger voice then everyone thinks. We really don’t use them the way we should.

"What impact do you think the election of so many women and minorities in such high political positions will have on the United States and why?"
As a youth in America, I see this as a major win for us and our future. Although our country is mainly ran by old white men, it’s clear that change is coming really soon, especially with how many women, and minorities being put into higher positions. As women, as minorities, they know what has to be done because they have point of views that are clear to the needs of half of America. Having better diversity in the government over all shows that the future is bright for upcoming generations, there will hopefully be less fear, less death, and more success in our world. No white man would ever know what it’s truly like to be a woman, a minority, or both, so having this in our government gives an insight to create more opportunities for the minorities and for the women that they didn’t have before.

J James 6th period

11/9/2018 09:06:43 am

I completely agree with you stated that the future is bright for future generations. Their ideas might be accepted with more of an open mind. Their ideas might actually be heard no matter what race they are.

S. Pirzada 6th

11/9/2018 05:35:51 pm

I appreciate that women of the earlier United States fought the outcomes for voting. Men and women have different value, yet women struggle the most.

M. Hollywood 2nd

11/8/2018 11:18:11 pm

Electing women and minorities in these grand political positions will empower women. Also, it will help establish a balance in diversity throughout the offices. Having women allows for the females perspective to be seen and embraced. The minorities can also argue for things that support their communities. Allowing these women and minorities into office was a huge step in the right direction.

Aamya Green

11/9/2018 10:01:49 am

I agree with this statement because us minorities finally can help ourselves. And since most of the officials have came from situations like ours they’ll be able to understand and help us with our problems. Rather than just “thinking” they understand us.

I. Chancellor 7th/8th period

11/9/2018 07:56:10 pm

In agreement, it will empower women to aim high and not low, for careers. With all honesty, this is the best thing that could have for America, because it expands our government. In disagreement, there is no man way, nor a woman way, but there is a common good for the people way. To be honest, that is great, because they can present ideas that supports the common good for people of color. Lastly, our government should be better with all the diverse backgrounds and beliefs, that are in high political positions.

R. Garcia 8th

11/9/2018 09:13:00 pm

I absolutely agree with your statement, and also think that these women and minorities who were elected have paved the way for younger generations to run for office as well without intimidation.

M Taylor 1st period

11/9/2018 10:59:02 pm

It will most definitely empower more women.. more women with greater ideas the impact will be astonishing

C.Jones 6th

11/9/2018 07:54:22 am

This will not only change the US from the decisions they will make but it shows how the world has changed. To go from not being respected as a race or gender to a high seat in the same government that didnt respect you makes the future look better. Now they have the chance to get justice for all the wrong doings that have and have yet to happen. It isn't all blue but it's not all red either. It's just the beginning of a real diverse nation.

Aamya Green

11/9/2018 10:04:12 am

That is an amazing point you brought out. It is a big step in the right direction for America. Not only is it showing how much power there is in voting but it also shows how accepting we are becoming.

Aamya Green

11/9/2018 09:38:49 am

It is so amazing that we finally have more color in the office. I feel that since there is more diversity and minorities they will be more likely to help and be in the favor of minorities. Now minoritites can finally have a more equal life in America. This will be similar to the help we got while Obama was in office. They will make sure the LGBT community is taken care of just like the minorities.

K.Brown 2nd

11/9/2018 03:33:29 pm

Agreed .Now minorities actually have the chance of being heard since they have a voice in the office. They have an opportunity to express ideas that could benefit them and the country.

T. Falls 6th

11/9/2018 09:42:19 am

I have to start this response of with say how good this is for woman empowerment. Not only were their women elected but people of many different races and people who are different from the social norm.With the election of so many women in office it will help get equality for women and give us more laws that rule in are favor. Also women are more thorough with their work and choice causing them to act in a rational way which is good for the state. One draw back that comes from the election of so many women is that they sometimes tend to act out of emotion which can be a bad thing. Lastly the election of many young officials is that they lack experience causing them to not know what is best causing them to make choices based off theory’s.

K.Brown 2nd

11/9/2018 03:43:58 pm

To piggy back on ,the draw back of women being elected into high positions is their inability to act without emotion .However , they will have large numbers of women to back them up and support them . This will make their chances of being favored higher .

I. Jones 6th Period

11/9/2018 10:12:37 am

As a black women myself, seeing so many women and minorities in high political positions is very great thing to see. Having them in office will have a goof impact on the united states. The minorities will finally have a voice not that we didn't before, but our voice will be bigger. Our needs will hopefully be met because we have people like us (minorities) in the office to speak for us because they know our struggle in society. Women will also have a bigger voice that will hopefully be heard because women, especially minority women, struggle a lot in society.

T.Falls 6th

11/9/2018 11:32:42 pm

With the new election of women officials are needs will come closer then ever to being met. This will bring changes to many rules and standards for women which will eventually become a beautiful thing in the near future.

R.Leal

11/9/2018 11:44:45 am

I believe that by inducing minority women and LGBTQ representatives into our political system, we are entering a new era. Where our fight for equality and where our voice as minors can finally be heard. Hopefully laws can be changed and a positive outcome will come from this. Minority groups in office can finally help make a change.

N.Brown8thpd

11/9/2018 02:57:35 pm

I believe that their will be an positive change just in a timely manner . We can’t rush change , change comes when it’s ready not when it’s forced into the wrong way . Being a minority already this is a big and great change . These women in office are proving that we can all will be equal and that we don’t go down without a fight .

C.Capel

11/9/2018 06:42:19 pm

I surely hope so . It would be not only appreciated ,but a great start towards making the changes that were struggled with for years.

Marqueshia Richardson

I'm not too sure about the idea but i really think about it a lot. I literally sit back and think about just women in office and all of that but i'm not going to say i'm all in and all pros and no cons.

K.Brown 2nd

11/9/2018 02:13:47 pm

With all the racial tension and gender inequality that we as Americans have experienced or witnessed , this election will give people hope . The hope that maybe the society we know has changed their perception on gender inequality and racical diversity.This will happen because people look up to the people in power .Since the people in power now consist of women and minorities they will influence the hope for other women and minority’s .

N.Brown8thpd

11/9/2018 02:53:02 pm

I agree now that we have women in office there is more to look up to . Women have been fighting to get into office for a while but for an African American women to get into office is an achievement. Little minority girls will get to witness women of color making a difference for our world .

N.Brown8thpd

11/9/2018 02:48:24 pm

For the white population they will be scrutinized because of their race and because they may think they cant do the job of their counter parts white women and white men. For blacks it gives us confidence in knowing there is someone in office that understands our struggle and what we as a people have faced in our lives. It also give little girls the hope and confidence that they can do anything like a man can do and accomplish so much more. It gives little girls a voice at a young age so they won’t be intimidated when their older . This also gives women the power to inspire younger adolescents to go out vote .

D Gutierrez

11/9/2018 04:31:28 pm

I believe that everyone has a voice especially us females . I also believe that all race should get along better no what color a person is or even who they are as a person. We all deserve a chance especially a female who wants to get in the office .

A. Johnson

11/9/2018 11:25:21 pm

Right, we are all too divided now a days, with the races, gender, everything. Everyone deserves a chance no matter the gender.

11/9/2018 04:42:13 pm

The impact of minorities and women, being elected to high political positions, are going to be great. Other than Barack Obama, people of color and women, are going to look up to these people, and strive to be like them. With all honesty, women of color, will strive to be in high political positions, due to them seeing someone, who looks like them. Then, more people of color are going to run for high political positions, due to seeing someone, who looks like them. Lastly, people of color have no excuse for not running for high political positions, due to the representation in those positions going up.

T. Young 2nd period

11/9/2018 07:56:45 pm

T.Tate 8th

11/9/2018 10:06:17 pm

I agree, I feel like women of color who have political positions strived so hard for that . So that younger generations can look up to them and be inspired. Also the change won’t just stop at them but it will keep going .

J earl

As an women minority, I have to say I agree and we need to put our foot down. It’s great to hear that all those women have shown that we are capable of something. Now they have something to look at. Women are now going to be heard. This will change America totally.

J.Hurd 2nd

Women have been trying to get in the office for a very long time. We all have a voices, but I feel like females would be able to make a good impact for America.

A. Johnson

Right, women finally being in office would be a great accomplishment, especially due to the fact that we’ve been trying for the longest.

I'm impressed that we have Muslimahs elected. Although I came from a paternal Muslim family, I don't want to be over-excited about it. However the mere ignorance keeps dividing Muslims away from the "true" American nationality and disregard the first amendment. But critics would say that they don't deserve to be representative over the fact how the media would label religion's followers and pinpoint infamous ethnic groups. Literally calling myself a Muslim is hard admit because I'm culturally diffused and I hate when people try to inquire me about it.

D. Jones 3rd

11/9/2018 05:27:13 pm

Minority and Women are getting high positions in the office because those are the two groups have the most issues. If women are having problems with the government why not get into office to fix the problems. If soo many men of color are getting done wrong due to the government why not be there to fix the problem. You can’t fix the problem by talking about you have to do something about it and getting in the position of the government to fix it would be a start

D. Tonche 8th pd

11/9/2018 05:54:19 pm

"Be the change that you want to see in the world", instead of people complaining about the government they should do something about it. One action that they can participate in that would improve their state of living is actually going out to vote.

J.Hurd 2nd

11/9/2018 07:15:31 pm

That's the problem in the black community. Certain people feel like they shouldn't go out and vote , because their voices won't be heard or things won't change .

Many people do complain and get angry but they are also told that their vote won't make a difference. Some people may need to see a difference in order to believe it. We can make a difference by voting in minorities because there is more of us than there is of them. Also voting in women is better because they are the ones who tend to know what's best and see the big picture.

Because majority of these elected government officials are women and minorities they will have institute and protect laws regarding to the demographics. The reason I think this is since these political figures have experienced the hardship of being a minority and/or a women. The simple truth is white officials cannot empathize with the struggles of these undermined population because they have never experience it. During the civil right movement era government officials did not believe protestors on the struggles of African-Americans and therefore did not act on their stated grievances. They even went to the extent of saying that African-Americans were exaggerating their substandard treatment in American society. To sum up, I think this election of women minorities in high political positions will have an impact in the United States because they will implement and protect laws for these demographics.

I feel it will give women a voice ,and most likely spark other women to follow in their footsteps. I believe it will show that women can do it too . As a female men are always seen as “ Superior” in high level positions ,it’s great to see women step up. Ecspecially minorities,because most of them know the struggles of not only being a woman but a minority and their primary focus will be to benefit everyone ,not just a specific group of people. I love it .

Women in America have equal rights, it’s not the 1940s women can do so much now only if we stop assuming everyone is against us when they aren’t. Don’t assume you’re underneath anyone. Your skin color won’t change anything. We all have the same opportunities just some of us don’t know or were not taught what those opportunities are. I’m tired of women crying about this cause if you step outside of America and see how women are treated. My Step mother grew up in a Muslim nation and you can’t compare it at all.

I think you presented an interesting argument. There have been instances where people i know (women, to be precise) have used this issue as an excuse to their own shortcomings, blaming the men for their inability to achieve their goals. While it is true that many people in America have the tendency to victimize themselves when they aren't victims at all, we can not ignore the fact that there are indeed minorities out there that still suffer from true injustices.

Although this comment does not answer the prompt published i still think responding to this is rather important. In the first sentence you managed to say something that is completely false. Women in America do NOT have equal rights, especially when it comes to POC. Talk to any female computer engineer, soldier, or even mechanics EVERYONE either underestimates them or disrespects them. Is that Equal? How would you feel if you went to college for 4 years and they looked over your resume because you were a female? Let alone the “your skin color wont change anything” but yet we have had only ONE COLORED PRESIDENT and are having POC elected for the FIRST TIMEs in 2018!!!!

Today, women make up half of the work force, and half of the enrollment at medical and law schools.

The impact I believe the election of so many women and minorities in such high political positions will have on the United States shows that time brings about change. All humans blood bleed red, the same; so no more issues in such positions of race, woman, gay, etc shouldn’t matter as long as the individual can effectively promote political improvements for the US and be fair ultimately strategically help us. Regardless of beliefs, traditions, and/or sex, race people live in the US together. We must get along, all vote, all speak out, all want best for the other, and get paid salaries based on expertise, etc.
This noted change should inspire others to strive for high positions too even at work, on a school board, or in community committees, and political position. Yes we can and will!

Having women and minorities in the office allows people in this country to see there is hope. In today's society, women aren't treated equally with men and are stereotyped as not being able to do what a man can do. As a young black women myself, seeing other women use their voice and overcome the struggles that us women go threw today gives other girls the aspiration to do better than other peoples limitations for them. This decision in bringing women of different back grounds, races, sexuality, and ethic background is the first start to becoming a better and diverse country.

The election of such a diverse group of government officials into high political positions has marked a milestone in the history of the government of the United States. This will ultimately result in a change in the international perception, and social structure of the United States. Because of the diversity among the elected officials, political representation for minorities will increase, which will to an extent cause a decrease in white superiority. Not only that, but a broader representation will move us closer to a state of political equality and stability.

As females I feel that we are more sympathetic towards others regardless of religion, ethnicity, race and sexuality. This will give many people hope that our country can become a better place where we feel safe, diverse and where it isn’t biase based on race. Some opportunities that women of color can bring the United States is that we can better create alliances with other countries and not make gender based decisions.

Yes the induction of women is very crucial and important yet it seems as though you are overlooking the other big movements like having a gay candidate or a plethora of different races . It seems as if the only thing that is an effective change is woman even though different races stilll go through prejudice while women now have equal rights. I believe all the inductions has a positive effect not just because they were women but because it was something that wasn’t normal.

As powerful as women are we live in a male respected world where there is little real advantage of being a woman.

It is honestly the most amazing thing to see a More diversified group of people in higher stature governmental positions. However, in retrospect this shouldn’t have much impact..why?

Tuesday’s events will change the repeated cycle and most likely get more minority votes and support throughout elections. It’s not just minorities either though it is also women, who clearly bring a different wave of ideas for the future.

Minorities in the United States typically want what sounds reasonable even if its just being treated equal.

I believe that if more women or people of color were respected and elected the country would change drastically. Many minorities tend to be a democrar or belong on the left side of the spectrum which, in my opinion, have good beliefs. All minoritys want is some respect and the white man dont even want to give them that. Sad.

The impact that this has or will have on our communities would be power. We as minorities/poc have very little say in politics, it isn't because we don't deserve it but whereas we aren't granted it. Women have started multiple things and majority of the current successful businesses are due to a woman being the backbone of the company for example; The show Empire. Women didn't have a voice until the 19th amendment was passed and till this day we still have one sided cocky men who choose to believe a woman's job is in the kitchen. Not many things will change because everyone has a mind of their own and are secluded from other humans ideas but maybe through they'll request help from the locals. Some minorities themselves have experienced such adversaries, obstacles, and discrimination in the system, we all deserve a chance. Hopefully there will be more diverse options on things rather than doing it one way only. There are doubts that this would really change anything and i can agree with that but seeing poc succeed in unthinkable ways is a great leap.

They’ll be able to add something new to the table, rather than same things—better policies can be implemented for people of color and women.

The election of minorities and women will have a significant impact on the future of America. The people who lead our country will be more tolerant and understanding of problems in the minority community. This understanding will lead to positive change for future generations. Because so many women have been elected into office, there will be more hope for women in the workplace, which leads to women seeking careers in higher places. The election of minorities and women will also lead to true equal opportunity for all people, which is the foundation of America.

I agree, women will finally get a better chance at being acknowledged for all the work they do and all the possibilities they could unravel. The world and America will see the power women truly has on the world and maybe it will bring a little compassion in this cold and lost place we call America.

Huge impact is right. People doubted minority’s and didn’t think we could do it. Guess what! We did and it feels great to have more people who look like us in congress.

Women and minorities being in political positions is a major step forward to a broad government that is equal and fair. This allows minorities and women’s voices to be heard and given equal opportunity as such if the majority. This could change the future of the US for generations to come. The diversity has went passed just black and white and has spread to gender and racial equality.

"What impact do you think the election of so many women and minorities in such high political positions will have on the United States and why?"
I feel like the women and minorities who have been elected will the give the world their solution to the many problems that white men can not solve. Minorities and Women will have a huge impact because it will allow the world to be more open to different perspectives. Women in my opinion work harder than men and will get the job done. I honestly feel like people will start to respect women more and look at women more than a housewife. It would also add variety to the office since it is majority of White men.

I totally agree, it will broaden the eyes of the world to see a bigger picture. A picture that includes the perspective of not only those who are looking for change for those minorities but those who are considered Majority.

The impact that the election will have is that the U.S. will become a more welcoming place. People will start to accept others no matter their color or sexual preference. Another impact the election will have is to make people more confident, people know their leaders are gay or the same race as them they will be more confident. The election will be historic and I think it stands for a lot and shows how much the U.S. has changed. In my opinion, I'm glad this has happened, I'm sure these leaders will do great things!

Giving women the slightest peep of light to make things better for all instead of a few she’ll most definitely digg to get to her goal maybe even bigger if possible.. having a women’s point of view on things would really better a lot in society today. I feel it is great they we are starting to rise to the challenge they everyone has set for us and proving them wrong

I feel that minorities and women being placed in higher positions of the american government will benefit both groups in a positive way. It will give minorities a more supportive lead way into the government in ways of making minorities easier ways to be successful. They will be provided benefits that were not provided before. Their voices will more than likely be heard. Women will be more empowered and encouraged to speak on what they feel is important. Women will have a better chance in making a difference for the position women subconsciously hold in America. The women will finally be able to make a change in how the world sees them. They will be able to redefine the stereotypes and doubts placed upon them.

It will benefit us because they’re black just like us. We aren’t usually though about when there is a Hispanic leader in power.

The women and minorities who have been elected into high political roles will create a huge impact because they will show a different side theat may not have been brought up in years. Our country won’t be closed to one view but will not be open to many different perspectives.Voices that have been hushed for years can now be heard and we can now be given the opportunity we have been denied for a long time. Now minorities and women will gain the respect they deserve.Our country has not yet become its full power and with the help of these new women and minorities change can definitely be seen in the future.

The impact of having women and minorites in the office will impact America future. Both minorites and women have never been respected in America. Now they have a voice and they will continue to have one. America is now opening doors to have more females and minorites in office.

This helps minority’s in a big way. I love this so much. We have people that actually care about us. This doesn’t mean they’ll fix our problems,but they are more susceptible now to do so. I’m very proud of this happening.

I believe the high position of the minorities and women may impact the US greatly. This event shows that anyone can be really successful no matter who you are. So many people will see that women and minorities can be great because of there knowledge. I came to the conclusion that people in American will stop putting you at a certain status based of your looks and were you came from and find people who can make a better change for America's sake.

I am glad that women and minorities are getting more of a position into powerful positions such as government. However, it is not only about them getting these positions, now they have to maintain them. The way that more women and minorities can do more important things and hold more important positions is by being active. They have to show people that they are worth keeping in government and that they can hold up to the standards given to them. That is the only way that people will be more open-minded to women and minorities in these such positions.

Black people as a whole should have a bigger voice. We can impact the U.S. in a powerful way. And these woman have worked very hard to get into the position they’re in.
