  1. The right side of the graph is clearly more balanced.The right side shows how the House and the Senate should look like today.However, the left side of the graph shows the reality of what the House and Senate is today. Unfortunately, the left side of the graph is what people have to be faced with every day. It is sad to see that the House and the Senate should be made up of 50% of females and 50%of males, but it is not the way it actually is in the real world. The right side of the graph portrays a much better picture of what the political environment should consist of. The left side needs some work. If different varieties of people were more involved with the left side of the graph, then perhaps there would not be as many problems involving different races or genders. -Annamarie Ramirez
