And like mentioned some countries have limitations on who can and cannot vote." she added the last but didn't dwell on it too long.
"Now there are a variety of reasons that many countries choose 18 or 21 as their ages to vote...many believe that if you are old enough to go into the military or armed services then you should be old enough to vote....and some believe that you should wait until 21 because they consider you an adult at that point." she said very matter of fact...she really didn't have a feeling about either way...she just wanted the students to get out and vote...
"
So let's think about the age of voting...at what age do you think a voter should be to be allowed to vote in the Board of Governor elections coming up and make sure you have a solid reason for your age...." she said excitedly...she was always excited to ask a question that required the students to think on their own and justify themselves.
Sitting there the whole time and listening to professor talk about politics was making Zack sleepy but still there was something about the lesson that made him hear what professor had to say. Voting was a very importing thing in all countries but he was never interested in it but still it was something that ever individual had to do. So according to him the perfect age for voting should be 18 since that was the age teenagers were knowledgeable enough for them to decide who they should vote for. He raised his hand and said
"Professor, according to me, i think the perfect age for voting should be 18 year because that is when everyone is responsible enough to know whom they should vote for" he said bring his hand down.
