Importance of voting

Voting is very essential in our society today. There are so many things that happen in the world today that people either stand for or don’t agree with. In one of our Comp I classes, I had the opportunity to listen to a couple students talk about the importance of voting. A lot of people in our society today think that voting is not necessary and is a waste of time, but when it comes down to issues that they care about, they all of a sudden care about what the government is doing. I learned that voting truly does matter, and even though you may not care about all the issues of one certain thing, it’s important to still have your say. You can’t always rely on what other people think about someone in politics. You have to do your research for things that you care about in society, because other people may not care about the issues you are concerned about. This informational study was meaningful to me because I realized that my vote does actually count. It’s so important to get out there and vote because every vote makes a difference in who wins in elections. A lot of people just like to vote for the presidential elections, but people don’t understand that it is also important to vote for the smaller things, like governor and senators. Mayors are also very important to vote for because they control what happens in your city or county. Just the smallest little things like where a street or highway is built can have an effect on you, this is so important to be able to vote for a person that feels the same way you do about your society. I will remember all of what was said in class because I am eligible to vote. I think that the person talking to our class about voting was a very good idea. After they finished their power point on voting, they informed us about the days that registration for voting would be held on campus. This gives all students an opportunity to get involved in voting and having a say in their government and changes that may need to be made. If people care about the army and war, they should focus on voting for people that have the same view on war, like whether our troops should be sent out to fight, or come back home to their families. The importance of voting is rising in the world as we speak, and more and more people are starting to realize that in order for things to change they have to make a stand and find people that care, not just go along with what everyone else thinks about a certain person.
