Voting 18-24
Q: One of the purposes of this class is to prepare you to vote. Write a one page essay and tell me why you think your age group(18-24) has the worst record in voting than any other age group?
There are several reasons for recently accepted voters to have a poor voting record. Voting is an essential part to our country and a great part of our freedoms. It is the ability to choose who we want leading our government. Our age group has a terrible voting record due to the fact that most of these new voters underestimate the power of voting. Most think it’s irrelevant if they vote or not, they have a complex telling them that their vote has no true value out of the millions who vote.
This is a major mistake, if this is the belief of our age group than the power of voting is not being used to its full potential. Voting is essential for the use and function of this country’s main belief: freedom. We deserve the right to choose for ourselves who we think would best help our country grow and thrive. We deserve the right to have the laws and rules that we want to keep order and prosperity in America. We deserve the right to decide what is best for us, as a people, as a country, and as a nation of the world. It is impertinent that we use our ability to vote to help the land in which we live.
There is no where else on earth, where the people get to choose what will be best for them. Where the country’s people can put forth what they think, their ideas, inventions and become someone of worth. If we choose to use our capability to vote, our age group can rise from the worst record, and become some of the strongest voters in America.
