All eighteen year olds should do national service
Some people think that all 18 year-olds should perform of national or community service before they start college or a paying job, but some people is disagree with that.

Some suggest allowing women to serve national service, others have proposed increasing education for soldiers. Still others suggest returning to the military plan. In the face of the strong need for more personnel, however, many have called for raising the age of military registration for young men from 18 years old to the age of 21.

Mandatory military service is a very old form of public service. In most countries practicing mandatory military service one joins the service age of eighteen years or after competing high school studies , before joining the universities. The period of the service varies from one country to another with some serving for only six months whereas in other countries one has to serve for two years . After the service one usually has the choice of either joining the national army or continuing with the civilian life.

I think we, as a society, should do a better job to encourage in young people a sense of emphaty to other human beings. Today's young people go through life feeling special and entitled without paying much attention to others who are really suffering. However, I think young people need to understand and to be inform about that, not punished of community service before college.

In conclusions i would like to say, that if all 18 year-olds should perform of national or community service, that, it’s should make all young people to be more honorable respectful, disciplined, hard working and also prepares individuals in life early

    reinstating the draft

    As of today, the military has a volunteer service only as its profile. As stated in a Farlex dictionary a military volunteer is “a person who freely enlists for service”. Any american citizen over 18 can volunteer for any branch regardless of gender, ethic, or religion. Other than soldiers, doctors, lawyers, scientists and a wide range of other careers are recruited and used in the military. The volunteer system supports the Declaration of Independence's phrase of guaranteeing citizens the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” by giving Americans the freedom of choice to chose to serve the country, or live about freely. The majority of America doesn't like the idea of having a draft introduced again, since it doesn’t exactly fit the phrase of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”, in all aspects of citizens trying to achieve the “American Dream”. Though the majority of citizens is…

    When the Civil War broke out and men were needed to serve in the war, the government used conscription, the mandatory induction of men into the military.1 Though some people use this word just like the word draft, the two concepts are different. Draft is the process to determine who will be chosen to serve; it’s like a lottery. Currently, men ages 18-25 have to register with the Select Service with the possibility of serving in the military,2 but conscription itself was abolished in 1973.3…

    In some countries, every young person must serve two years of military service. The general public in the United States feels that we should allow that in our country while other people disagree. A two-year period of military service should be mandatory for all young adults, but making the devotion to serving that time in the military should be each individual’s decision. Personally, young adults should be able to live their lives of how they want it, and other mature people should be able to volunteer for the military. Each individual should be able to make their own choices in life and not be forced to do something they strongly disagree with. Granting opportunities to young and mature people will help the military enlist a mature recruit, strengthen the military clan, and attract even more people to join in the military. We should be able to grant choices to the young and mature adults and respect their decision.…

    In 2015 the United States Government opened up all military positions to women (Kube and Silva). This step for women joining the ranks of our military has commenced talks of women signing up for the draft when they turn eighteen like men have done since 1980 (Barno). Many people believe that women registering for the draft will encourage equality, while many others believe that their duty is at home during times of war. Women registering for the draft is a highly debated topic.…

    Should the United States require all adults to perform one year of community service by the age of 30? I personally think this is a topic that is not at all, relevant. I believe if someone wants to lend a helping hand, then they should lend a helping hand. If you don't prefer to do this kind of community service, the government shouldn't force you to do so. There would be a lot of change in how community service is done today if the government required at least one year to be served by the age of 30.…

    Until today mandatory military has been a very well known controversy for centuries. Mandatory military, otherwise known as conscription, or drafting, is the compulsory enlistment of of people in a national service, most often a military service. The importance of mandatory military dates back to the days of WWI, WWII, Vietnam war, and much more. It was necessary for 18 to 26 year old men to register for the draft, if they failed to do so, they could owe a fine or be limited to apply for certain jobs and financial aid. Some exceptions that were made was if a man had a family or went to college. The rest of the men who didn’t make the cut were the ones who were most likely to be sent to war. Even though, mandatory military service assures national security, military service should not be mandatory for all residents of the U.S. because drafted soldiers would not have enough skills and knowledge to fight alongside volunteered soldiers and it takes away precious time from the youth.…

    Moreover, I wish that all societies accept their pros and cons and try to benefit from everything they have, no matter how difficult and bad things may turn out to be. Hopefully, this should be accompanied by appreciation for the talents and abilities of young people. Age should never control one's activities, especially if this one is really gifted and special among the society. In addition, respect should not only be shown for young people, but for all people as well.…
