The main point according Martin P. Wattenberg in Is Voting For Young People is that young people today do not vote during elections as much compared to other voting groups. Young people today are politically unengaged. “These state patterns of voting participation can be confirmed on the national level by the Census Bureau’s 2010 survey data. Among U.S. citizens under the age of 30 in 2010, only 24 percent reported that they voted.” (Page-188, IVYP) The low attendance of young people voting in Presidential elections indicates that young people do not care enough about politics to participate. According to Wattenberg, there is only one method to make young people care about voting. Wattenberg believes that Compulsory Voting is the only method to obtain votes from young people.…

The early school morning of April 20, 1999 at Columbine High School seemed liked any other. That is, until Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold opened fire on fellow students at 11:19 a.m. The following hour resulted in one of the first major mass shootings in the U.S., leaving twelve students and one teacher dead, as well as 21 injured. This horrifying shooting sparked the beginning of a long and grueling debate on gun control. Should civilians be able to buy automatic weapons? What about high-capacity ammunition clips? Are guns helpful at all? Such questions have arisen after every new account of a shooting, which seem to occur quite often based on their prevalent coverage on mainstream media outlets. Furthermore, with such strong stances on pro-…
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…
Increasing young voter turnout is becoming a predominant challenge during election season, with many young people deciding to stay home on election day. A huge percent of young people do not feel the need to turn out for these important elections, leaving their candidates floundering for support, resulting in an issue. The United States of America is a democracy, and the young voters are a large part of our population. Without their input, The United States will not be a fairly represented nation. Bringing up the point, why is America’s Youth not participating in this basic act of Civic Engagement.…
Moreover, it is known that youth who don’t vote remain uninvolved in the political system, and abstain from voting as they age. One method of increasing voter turnout, therefore, is to encourage and educate the youth on the importance of electoral participation. Provided initiatives are; the possibility is to encourage candidates and political parties to address Canadian youths more directly during election, by addressing youths directly at high schools or university campuses, and by discussing issues that important to youth voters. Another possibility is to encourage youth participation through the use of modern forms of media and communication, which are used to a larger extent by younger Canadians. Better-educated individuals are more inclined to vote and participate.…

The major problem with the politicians, not only in the US also in Europe, is that they often lie during their campaigns to get as much votes as possible. They promise to boost the economy, to fight the unemployment, and to thinner the national debt. But when they are elected, politicians often do not realize their promises. So young people all over the world lose their trust in them, and think that it is useless to vote for anyone. The politicians try to get the people with charismatic and good appearances, and the most of them are good in attracting people. So they can change the thinking of some people, even when they do not trust them. But another big problem concerning young people is, that the most political issues are irrelevant for them, so they are not really interested in politic and adding the fact, that the most politicians have a bad image, many young people are avoiding the sector of politic.…

In India anybody can stand for elections and win to became member of legislative assembly of that area. Anybody can become prime minister, chief minister. But is this a good thing? Developed Countries like USA have highly educated people as their leaders. For a developing country like India where proper measures need to be taken for development, uneducated officials are useless for the development of the nation. The future of our country is in the dark as most of the ministers and leaders are less qualified or uneducated. Corruption is in the roots of our system. Most of the money sanctioned for development of the country such as roads, schools l, colleges, etc is consumed by oh our corrupt leaders. Most of the money we pay as taxes is eaten by our leaders. There is no strict measure for verifying or trying these leaders. The five year form of government is a curse for our country. All the ruling partiers enjoy the ruling power for the first four years and In the last year many rules are implemented to lure the voters and gain votes of the people.…
Moreover, politics cannot be divorced from a student’s life as he continuously interacts with the Student’s Union andvarious other student associations in college. Students also have a great deal of exposure to mediums like the press, television, cinema, etc. which are important agents of political expression. Political science is a vital part of the syllabi both at the school and college level. This underlines the role that politics plays in various stages of a person’s life. Hence, it is futile to shut out students from politics.…
Students show their interest in politics because no educational degree is required to be a political leader. And it’s easy for a politician to become rich by corruption.

We know no one can be a good leader by threaten people but the politicians don’t know that. So they threaten people and use firearm to…
