Answer:

Representation matters because it helps normalize what people outside of certain groups may try to exclude otherwise. During these times of protests it is important to listen to those who are speaking out, because the reason it has gotten this way is because when people spoke out alone they were not listened to. It is essential to treat every single person as equal, and that can't happen until everyone is represented equally. Representation might not bring immediate change but if it is done correctly then children and future generations will learn about each other better than we did.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now I would like you to try and think about why you think it matters, because it is important that you feel connected to this question.

How many movies have you seen where a character is represented in a stereotypical manner because of race or sex or sexuality? You can use that as further examples on how representation can be improved.

Also there may be a lot of grammatical errors I wrote this just streaming my own thoughts and you will have to clean yours up a bit.
