Why Children Should Vote
CHILDREN MUST VOTE! Joshua Gans believes that kids should vote because he believes that there is no reason why the minimum voting age is so high. To his argument he uses repetition, facts, and reasoning. Many adults think that children are too young to make an informed judgement. Making an informed judgment were to participate in every election an adult participates in we would of had to be more careful of their current voters. He informed judgment decreases by age. Having a fresher voice with the times makes you more active more concerned, and more informed than older counterparts to fix in their views. Children may be influenced by the internet but so are adults. Kids do watch different thing which could be a good thing for the democracy.

    Summary Response The article “ Kids are kids until they commit crimes ” by Marjie Lundstrom talks about how the under-eighteen crowds are considered kids .Yet when they commit a crime or start acting inadequately they start considering them as adults and they start receiving the consequences an adult would have . Many people do not consider this fair .That is why Ron Wilson ,Democratic State Rep. of Houston suggested to lowering the voting age to fourteen . He also said that “if you want to throw the adult book at kids”(paragraph 8) and give them the consequences of an adult then they can be able to vote too and do things an adult does. This article also talks about how people have created an image that teenagers are something to…

    In the article, “No, We Shouldn't Lower the Voting Age to 16” by David Davenport, he states that the lowering of the voting age would negatively affect the country. I agree with Davenport, but he failed to mention the fact that teens lack the life experience, motivation and maturity to vote. Society talks about the age of maturity and responsibility, but they send many different messages. At age 16, teens are allowed to drive and work, but they aren't allowed to vote. At age 18, young adults are allowed to serve and die for their country, but aren't allowed to drink.…

    One reason why Americans should be required to vote is because the people have to decide whom their leader is going to be. Evidence supporting this reason is that in FindLaw’s Writ, John W. Dean states that “voting is the least a citizen can do for his or her country, and is not unreasonable to ask of a citizen to do this minimal thing.” This evidence helps explains why Americans should be required to vote because it shows that Americans should take voting as a civic duty like some other citizens do when they vote.…

    It also holds that they were also highly likely to vote when they were young, with life-cycle tendencies only raising their turnout marginally (Pew Research Center, pg. 86). However, considering the factor that older people are less mobile and the requirement of voter re-registration, this theory does not hold. Over the past decades, research has further discredited it since it has found that the electorate largely comprise of the older citizens.…

    Most do not vote for they feel they do not have the knowledge needed to make the right choice. Now the Canadian government does enforce a Careers and Civics course that must be taken in grade 10, however the course effectiveness cannot be well evaluated, for the provinces control education, and the content, the teachers that teach the course, and the way it is graded varies . Than two years later you turn 18 and you can vote, but what does that really mean, what are you voting for, who are you voting for and the most important question of them all is, what are you getting in…

    Should Young Women Vote

    Should young women vote for our next president based on their gender? Although many women wish to see the glass ceiling broken, I don’t believe it’s right to vote based on gender. People should choose a candidate that have a similar stand on issues as their own. I was surprised to read that Gloria Steinem said the only reason young women are voting for Bernie Sanders is because of the boys, young women are voting on the issue not for the attention boys will give them. I can assume most young women are on Bernie Sanders side because they support his plan for free public college tuition, as well as his plan to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Both candidates have identical positions in women’s right such as equal pay and they agree that the government…

    17 year olds voting can go both ways. Most teenagers around the United States don't have the correct, political information to vote. Not knowing what the candidate wants to pursue or is willing to put into action, makes it useless and inefficient for students to take the time to vote. These teenagers may believe they know who the candidates are, but that is only because they are getting fed into the everyday, attention grabbing news. Though this controversy can sway both ways. If an adolescent executes thorough research on city/ presidential races, they have every right to place a ballot. If this proposition were to go through, about 17 year olds voting, a course or class on candidate races information, and school boards, could give teenagers…

    Voting is a very important part to America. If we did not vote we wouldn't have any presidents. Voting is also a way to express what you believe. Less than 50 percent of eligible young voters ages 18 to 29 voted. 19% of all votes came from young voters. And not all elections are decided by hundreds and thousands of votes, the Alaskan congressional race was decided by a single…
