I believe that minors should not have the right to make most medical decisions. The amount of factors that play into my choice‚ as to why minors shouldn’t have the right to make decisions‚ varies.

Women Attaining the Right to Vote Throughout history‚ women were degraded on society’s hierarchy. Beginning in 1893‚ women began fighting for their rights in society (“Start of the Suffragette”). New Zealand was the first country that granted women the vote. They believed that women had the potential to be a part of society. However‚ men in England did not believe in that ideology.

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

people that are younger than the age of 18 have good political opinions as well. Those teenagers are left unheard‚ because they are not of legal age for political voting when it comes to electing a president. Denying them the right to vote denies them a voice in our democracy. Most people around me believe that the voting age should also be lowered‚ and each of them care more about politics than most of the adults we know.
