To be a citizen of this country we have certain rights and privileges.
We also have certain responsibilities to be active in positive change. One of
the major positive change you can bring is in the form of vote. To vote is to
give a voice in playing a role in positive change. Voting is a privilege,right and duty
of each and every component of a democratic system.
At the time when our predecessors won their voting right in
compensation for their blood, voting was a right for the people to join in
local and national government. However, considering todays situation with the
voting right, I feel that voting is a national duty rather than a national
right.
Voting is important because it exercises your right as a citizen to
express your issues and ideas. Voting also helps us decide who will lead our
country. Many men and women who have served this country have given their lives
just so that you can be able to vote. Voting is important because it’s not only
a right but also a privilege.
Why people refrain from voting is no puzzle, either. Many think that
their individual vote does not matter in the large scheme. Some also thinks
that no one in the present candidates deserve to be in power, and thus don’t
bother to vote.
We have a society at risk for losing
the leadership status with the world. The list goes on and on. Watch the news
and see all of the problems and think about the root of the problem, how we can
solve the problems, and what it will take to get the job done. Many citizens
today want the benefits of society but do not want to do their part in making
good things happen. Life is not about taking, it is about giving.
It's important to vote because we have the right to vote. You should
also vote because if you want someone to win an election you might be the
deciding vote.
