The canvas that represents the young people of America is quite diverse and colorful, ultimately becoming a blend that surpasses that of what the United States has seen in its history. As an average high school student and an explorer of the upcoming college experience, I find this to be especially true, with racial, religious, and ethical boundaries being destroyed left and right as the nation progresses. These fast-paced advancements have showed no signs of stopping, which has become a problem today because of the female gender's slow gaining ground on the American males. Author Christina Hoff Sommers called for policy to alter this trend and hopefully bringing about a new sense of balance between men and women in the coming years with her article in the New York Times. The proposals Sommers makes in regard to evening out the imbalance in current educational settings reminded me of a previous push for enhancement of school systems. George W. Bush's No Child Left Behind policy was one that instantly entered my mind, as it addressed a dormant but potentially dangerous issue in the growth of America's youth academically. The use of cause and effect and reasoning by Sommers allows the American taxpayers reading the article to be reaffirmed of the promise within the government fees they pay each year and to even feel the need to contribute more to a dire cause. Sommers, through persuasive rhetoric and passionate belief, is able to convey the importance of balancing the educational confusion that currently surrounds our country to the US people and bring about a push for a revision of the current school structure for the bettering of the sometimes unpredictable male gender.
