Diversity in leadership roles results in a more effective and fair government.1 By this measure, our democracy is dramatically failing younger Americans. Approximately 62 million Millennials were of voting age during the 2016 general election, according to Pew Research Center.2 In 2018, young voters, namely Millennials and Generation Z, are set to make up 34 percent of the eligible voting population.3 This gives young voters a larger share of the potential electorate than any other single generation.4 Yet, despite making up the largest potential voting bloc5 in the country today, young people are severely underrepresented at both the state and federal level. This representation gap impacts young people, and the issues they care about, directly. When elected officials aren’t representative of their constituents, this can lead to policies that are not responsive to the needs of the governed.

Two key aspects of this, we will argue, are the Bangladesh problem (which will make criminal law very hard to practically enforce) and technologically enabled self-help (which will offer an attractive alternative protection to users, but also a further excuse for real-world police departments not to get involved).

"As long as managers always ensure their feedback is unbiased, essential and civil, it’s almost certain to be effective and help an employee grow," Sahibzada wrote. The New York Times quoted Stanley Rosen, professor of political science, on the efforts of Chinese movie production companies to reach worldwide audiences with the film "The Great Wall." USA Today quoted Matthew Kahn, professor of economics and spatial sciences, on President-elect Donald Trump's economic goals related to China. UPROXX quoted Robert English, associate professor of international relations, Slavic languages and literature, and environmental studies, on the reasons Russian media may have reported on the opening of an embassy by the California secessionist group Yes California. December 21, 2016 The Korea Times published commentary by Kyung Moon Hwang, professor of history and East Asian languages and cultures, on why the current political turmoil in South Korea should not be considered a "revolution." Hwang argues the final steps towards true democratization will finally yield the benefits from the country's previous revolution.
