One should keep in mind that no human beings are distant‚ unfamiliar or far off. Underneath any colour of any soldier’s uniform belonging to any nation‚ another human being breathes the breath of life just like any other person.

In all of my 13 years of living I’ve heard so much about voting and how everyone should vote‚ but nobody has bothered to tell me why. I’ve grown up with a lot of my family voting for presidents‚ state representatives‚ senators‚ and more but it’s just something that they do without thinking. When election time comes‚ they go to wherever they need to go to vote‚ they vote‚ and then they come home. I believe that the importance of voting should be taught everywhere.

So theres a debate about rather the voting age should be lowered to 16 or stay at 18‚ in my opinion it should stay at 18. Lowering the voting age would cause problems because younger voters would probaly be voting without a purpose. Voting is something very importart and should not be done just for fun. When I was 16 I didn’t take voting to serious. I really didn’t understand what it was about or what I was voting for. If I had legal rights to vote at 16 I would have probaly just did it for fun
