Women of the United States Need to Step Up

On Friday October 30, 2015 Juliane Johannsen wrote an article called “The role of the woman in the U.S national government” in her blog Juliane Johannsen Where are We heading?. She did a great job at presenting the facts right away and getting straight to her thoughts on this issue. I think it is very important for someone to not beat around the bush in their article and make sure that they have a strong opening stance. Also the facts that Johannsen had presented in her article were very shocking and the fact that there isn’t even a diverse woman representation in the government is sad. The fact that the U.S is ranked 76 out of 148 is crazy we are supposed to be the land of possibilities yet it still seems like you have to be a man to get what you want. It too also raised the question on why the U.S. was in such a low position for having women in the national government. I completely agree with Juliane Johannsen’s argument and she did a great job at supporting her argument. The sentence that stuck out the most to me in her blog post was the very last sentence, “With Hillary Clinton campaigning as the next president of the United States of America, the political role of the woman might change in the future”. This shows that even though the statics and numbers are low there is still hope for the women in America to one day be in the national government and to me having hope is the most important thing. Juliane Johannsen has the perfect opening and ending to this post.
