Option 1: Political scientists disagree on the exact causes of low representation of women in Congress. Why do you think there are so few women in Congress in comparison to men? How likely is it that these patterns of representation will dramatically change over your lifetime? For this discussion question, you will have to do some research online.

This can come from any area, such as vaccinations, nutrition and food safety, drugs, environmental protection, tobacco use, infectious disease control, or occupational health and safety.
