Women in Congress
With this topic come a lot of different feelings and emotions from everyone. Are women better for the workforce and politics specifically? Well, according to studies, yes! This work shows a recent study that has proven that women can be more efficient in a group. They have a better “collective intelligence” than a group of men do. This comes about because of the fact that women are more cooperative in problem solving whereas men are more likely to be stubborn and not budge on their side of an issue. So, why don’t we have more women in congress? Well, I don’t know exactly why. People need to be subjected to this news and these findings so that they will vote for more women. Now, there is the topic of making a law for a necessary amount of women in congress. This could potentially prove fatal. If we put people into congress that aren’t qualified to be there, the collective intelligence of the group will get much lower because they aren’t as educated or aware of the surroundings. It is important that we get more women in congress, but we need to be weary of a minimum requirement that could cause people who don’t deserve the job to get it over some other people who do deserve it. I’m not saying that women are not as intelligent as men by any means. I’m just trying to say that we should be careful in anything that deals with politics.
