Having women role models is a very important thing for a child growing up. Growing up I only really rememeber having one role model which was my mom. My mom was a single parent trying to raise two of us. There were often times that we had to deal with out television so I didn't really have access to another role model. I learned from her to be very independent, work hard, and go after anything I want. Today it basicly stays the same. I have television but there is still only one role model. I feel that todays media is not the only reason for lack of woman leaders. Having strong women in media might help encourage woman leaders but I feel the main source of encouragement should be at home or friends. Parents should explain to children that the media doesn't not portray how society is and that it is fiction. Having a strong parent or set of parents around to provide the strength and capabilities is what creates leaders of both sexes. Media doesn't create or fail to create leaders its how the media is used to teach children.
