Older or younger lawmakers?
In America, Joe Biden is the oldest US president in history at 79 years old. The previous American president, Donald Trump, was also in his seventies – and the average age of the core US government is around 60 years old.
In contrast, Norway has the highest number of young politicians in the world – with 13.6% of their government under the age of 30.

Having an aged government isn't such a bad thing but there is much controversy in their mode of thinking. Sometimes they believe doing things the same old way works best but it's not the same everytime is it. I mean no harm when I say we teenagers or we young people love controversy it's our way of life to be honest and the fact that we have never even been given the chance to show that we can change the world isn't really fair. In my opinion the perfect age for a president should be ranging between thirty to forty years old, well that is because I think that that age range is still is the area of young and old they still want to be involved with recent happenings. A good idea will be a young leader with an aged jury don't you think so at least all age groups could participate in politics.
Yes! I agree with you , I also think old and young people can run as the government. It's unfair for younger people to be the Government or President because people doubt us. People just think all young people are the same, I see why they say It . I still think they got it all wrong, they think It's just reckless decisions but it's not. As a young Person who can make smart choices, I can say that people are wrong about us. I think we have an advantage,
Young people are controversial and are into Socializing and Politics. I say we can get the Job done. I agree with the Age part too, anything is possible, You can do anything if you put your mind to it. I think that was the point you were trying to make.
Can you give an example of a young person in a leadership role?
I really understand and agree with what you said so I just had to reply! Yes mostly younger people are always in some type of drama these days, but somewhere in the U.S there's people who stays out of trouble. Younger people may not have any experience, but with a aged jury in the background thats all they need.
I disagree because... you make no sense i think that the age of a government worker should be 25-30 is the right age that a worker should be is but the age of retiring is 50-75
Can you explain why?
First, every country must have a just president in order to manage its internal and external affairs. A just president does not have a specific age and must have political experience in people’s conditions. Some prefer that the president be old because they believe that he has old knowledge and wisdom in releasing justice between People and not to differentiate between them and the president who is old has bad things about the country first: his difficulty in getting on the field, secondly, his preoccupation with his old age and the diseases of his old age.
And some prefer young people and believe that young people have strength and courage, and also that the president is a young man who has bad things. First: the difficulty of balancing matters and judging old minds. Second: rushing to unite the decision of the state
And I prefer that the president be of a suitable age for the position of president, and that he be just and judge among the people
It is good for the ruler of the state to have wisdom and a high understanding. In this way, the rulers are chosen. We agree well that old people are knowledgeable and experienced in the affairs of the state, but it is possible that when a man reaches old age and becomes old, he cannot bear the pressure of work and the responsibility that falls On his shoulders, and we must give the opportunity to the youth group so that they can take their right to rule, express their opinion and deliver the message of the youth, as is the case with us in the President of the State of Palestine, he is over eighty years old and is still in the presidency and they could not replace him with the youth group, but at the time This is why we have advanced minds. These minds must be exploited in the development of the state. This service and treasures must be consumed correctly, but the age of this president cannot be less than 30 years, because the age of 30 is the age of adulthood at which a person can differentiate right from wrong, so this category must be given its right in judgment
Can you give evidence of why people under the age of 30 would not be able to govern and lead?
Because the age of less than 30 years is considered adolescence, whether early or late adolescence, a person cannot control himself until he controls a country, and the first to rule for this young man is emotions, so his emotions at this stage are unstable and intense emotions
young man.....or perhaps young woman!
1- The good thing is that young people are educated and will not make mistakes, because they have exhortation and wisdom and they have experience. 1- Or the negative thing, which is that there are great leaders of the world among them who did not advance with the progress of the world and did not develop. 2- The good thing is that young people have a modern and technological mind and they will be strong 2- As for the negative thing, they will make mistakes because they are in a hurry 3-40 because it is the age of safety and maturity, it will be a mixture of old and young.
I agree, I think Anybody could run, With hard work and dedication, Anythings Possible!
The good things about having a government made up of older people is that they have experience in life and dealing with things in rationality, but the bad things are that older people are infected in many diseases like Alzheimer's, and good and bad things in having a government made up of young people.I personally think that young people have a class of them who can take charge of politics, and there is a class of them who are not mature with their actions and thinking, yet one that the right age to hold the presidency is at the age of 30 at this age that a person is mature and has experience of such subjects.
Hi @poetic_banana, you've made good points, well done! You're right that older people are more at risk of experiencing Alzheimer's disease so there are advantages and disadvantages for both groups. Do you think a 20-year-old would make a good leader? Why or why not?
I don't think a 20-year-old would be a good leader because he's not mature enough, especially since he just went beyond adolescence and his experience would be minimal.
I like your point poetic_banana. You mention that a 20-year-old would have minimal experience. What sort of experiences do you think a person needs to be a good leader?
To have experience in the field of work, to have a person responsible and to know well how to communicate with others and listen to them, as well as ambition, self-confidence, humility and humanity, is part of becoming a good leader.
In my opinion, we should put two presidents for the people, including the elderly. If a president can benefit the people with his experience and experiences in life, and if he has a young or young person with him, then he will consider the young people's point of view on some issues that are in society. And the elderly can look at the thought of young people, the thought of children, and the thought of the elderly as well
The idea of having two presidents to represent different generations and complement each others' experience is a really interesting one. In this idea, would all citizens be able to vote for both of them? Or would each generation vote for its own representative? Can you think of any potential challenges this might create?
@poetic_banana Yes I agree, Age plays a major part in being a Lawmaker. Experience also plays a part in it too!
I think anybody below 30 could still be a lawmaker. Senator, President , Governor , Mayor of the Town.
I am divided by whether it is good to have younger or older people in charge of us. It is good to have older people because they have experience and may be able to think more carefully about their decisions. However, this could also be a bad thing because their experience may cause them to view things in a particular way and they may not be able to think from all perspectives.
Young people would be good for the government because they may be less biased in the way they think as they have less experience. However, they may not be good as authorities because they are inexperienced and may not fuly understand that there are multiple ways to solve problems.
Why shouldn't we make it fair to all parties? I say however much the older people have more experience they also need the younger people to tell them more of what is in the world in their generation today. And if we also include the younger people they can learn more from the older people and how to make right decisions. So it's better that both the older and younger people should all be give a chance to rule us.
Why shouldn't they make it at least even as to whereby we have a youth president and a universal president because it is really hard for our opinions to reach the president and even though they reach i don't think he would do anything that's why we need a youth president like who is between the age of 18-25 yrs and he would be in charge of all people below the age of 25 yrs and this would help the young's voices be heard
To be honest i don't agree because young people do have the advantage over some old people.Young people can use technology that could get more people to hear them out.Old people can also use social media but not at well as younger people.Younger people do think sharper then old people as well but older people do have more history in politics.Younger people can study things about politics and get that experience they need to run for office.With that being said age doesn't mean a lot it could go both ways.
I agree because... young people could actually have a wider view on things because of the information we have available to us, while older people are a little more rigid.
I think the old and the young are all legit. There are good things about old people and there are bad things. The good things are that they have had a lot of problems so they are able to solve problems in a great way, but the bad things about them are that they have neuropsychiatric disorders, and this is a great danger, and they have diseases like diabetes and stress. As for the good things about young people, they have many skills and scientific experiences, and the bad things are that they can take wrong decisions because they are in the youth stage. I think that the appropriate age for the president is from 45 to 70 because at this age he is able to take the necessary decisions
I don't think there should be a specific age for the president
He must have these qualities to be a good boss
One of these qualities is integrity, self-confidence, showing respect
A leader must show respect and appreciation in all his dealings; In order to gain people's trust, improve their performance, and increase the positive atmosphere at work, on the other hand, dealing with respect helps reduce disputes and conflicts.
This is a very interesting point that it depends on their traits because sometimes people have different thoughts and traits than their generation.
I disagree because there are many benefits to having an age of 34 or 35 years old. I have many reasons to support why i think this. When you are 35 you have experiences that not have we you are young like when you are in your 20's. People who are 34 or 35 also have more knowledge and are able to build trust with others. In your 30's you are also able to make money and are able to be good at finances. When you are older you learn how to help others and learn to show compassion to others which makes you a good person and a good president. When you are older you can teach others anything that you know. Older people also are better at listening to others and having patience.
I am not settled as to whether it is better to have older or younger lawmakers or leaders because both old and young leaders have their advantages and disadvantages when in position of leadership.
On one hand old leaders, have accumulated wisdom and experience that is crucial to leading people. There is an old saying common among my people, "What an old man sees while lying down a young man can never see even when he climbs up in the highest iroko tree". What this is saying is that because of all the knowledge old people have accrued, elders can easily perceive things that younger people can't, no matter how hard they try.
However the downside of having old leaders is that they will not have creative ideas like the youths. They won't be able to come up with new ideas like the youths would and they won't be able to make decisions based on the perspective of everyone in a state. The decisions they make may not encompass the thought of everyone.
On the other hand, young leader have a lot of creativity and are filled with new and fresh ideas that will help a state or country to grow. Also, when making decisions, young people are able to make decisions from the perspective of everyone in a state. Their decisions will encompass the thoughts of both young and old in a state.
However young leaders are not as experienced as old leaders and so they are prone to make mistakes as a result of youthful exuberance and lack of carefulness in handling situations and making decisions.
I like the balanced view you have provided on older and younger lawmakers. What do you think the best composition would be for a government. And where would the President sit on that spectrum of older vs younger?
The president would sit on that spectrum of older because a country needs a leader with wisdom and much experience which the old people have but it doesn't change the fact the the country also needs a leader who with creativity and fresh ideas just as "amazing computer" said. That's why I would instead suggest that the vice president or the president's advisors be younger so that they can help the president make good decisions that can help develop the country. And I believe that a country that is being ruled by both the older and the younger won't have many problems and it will develop faster because of their joined effort wisdom, experience from the older then combined with creativity, fresh ideas, good decisions from the younger and I believe they will make very few mistakes that won't even affect the country that much.
your comet is so good
Despite the great responsibility that falls on the shoulders of young people in the political development process, there is still a failure in the political work of young people due to the absence of the correct political upbringing and the failure to acquire the political culture that qualifies the person to master and creativity in political work. Also, the lack of confidence of young people in their role and abilities is an important factor in the failure In addition to the pressures that prevent political action in light of the lack of effective partisan currents, this creates frustration among young people
An interesting point fun_tennis. What do you think could make young people more confident in approaching politics?
I have learned in my life that there are positives and negatives in everything, and no matter how much the positives lie, there must be negatives, and no matter how many negatives there are, there must be positives. One of the good things about the elderly is that they can make the right decisions because of their previous life experiences and because of their calmness and lack of recklessness resulting from life experience, and one of their negatives is that they do not allow young people to be their future entity, and there are also some elderly people who make decisions based on their past and not keeping pace with developments.
One of the advantages of having a government of young people is that the young people knew the general situation in the country, as they themselves were living the situation of other young people in the country and knew the crises and problems they might go through, and their negatives were that they are reckless and have no experience like the elderly because they did not establish and live these problems before And they don't know how to solve it because of the lack of experience I think that the ideal age for the president is from 40 to 55 years so that he is a veteran person who has lived young people and understood what their lives are and what their conditions are and he has experience in his life.
A very well reasoned response free_snail
I feel 30 years is perfect because the individual is still young and has a young mind with creativity, inventiveness, cleverness and initiative. For example in the history of Nigeria there hasn't been a young president that has ruled the country so far. Now that the old people are given the opportunity to rule the country, the country is remaining stagnant and not developing. So I feel the younger people should be given the chance to rule and make a positive difference to move the country forward into a developed country.
This is a very interesting point to debate. What support do you think a 30-year-old President would need to be a good leader?
I think a 30-year-old president needs:
1 Justice and equality between people, regardless of their kinship
2 Good behavior without anger
3- Taking the opinions, suggestions and problems of his people.
4- Organizing the people of his people
5- He should be present with all the needs of his people, whether they are machines, technology or anything else.
I like your reasoning. There's a balance between youth and experience to be considered here. Why do you think the older generations might be more resistant to change? Do you think that someone will have enough life experience to deal with the decisions that need to be made as a president?
From my point of view, I am not with or against the idea of governments presiding over the elderly. Sometimes I see that the elderly are clearly knowledgeable and experienced in the affairs of the state and can take the right decisions with all wisdom and rationality. A sudden deterioration in their health, which leads to impeding the course of some things
I see that the good things about the presence of a government made up of young people is that they have new ideas and have a strong desire to change the lifestyle, which is the best in line with this great development, and they also have ideas that are far from biased in the way of thinking in a way. On the other hand, I see that they are not familiar with Completely about some things and are impulsive in making decisions, as they need the elderly who are indispensable in providing them with advice. The main reference, even if the youth group is the ruling group, is for the elderly who enjoy all rationality and wisdom in making decisions
I think that the ideal age for a president ranges between 30 to 45 years. This age group is the most appropriate because it is characterized by creativity, innovation, intellectual balance and sufficient awareness to make decisions that push the nation to progress and progress.
Hi champion_conclusion! That's a good point about needing balance between creativity and awareness. How important do you think it is for a leader to have both?
I think a leader definitely requires both and it is very important for a leader to have both.
Awareness is crucial because new problems and issues emerge every new year. Problems cannot be eliminated. So a leader needs to keep in pace with the new emerging issues. And awareness is important for a leader also because a leader should make a decision being aware of the impact it will have on the communities of his/her country and the nation in general.
Creativity on the other side is also important because with the new emerging problems, new solutions need to be implemented as well. And past decisions which might have a negative effect on the nation need to be creatively modified to fit the present.
Very thorough response - well done!
1•I think that the existence of a government (presidency) for the elderly is not bad, but it may be a few bad points because they may be inclined to the customs and traditions of their ancestors, but since the world has evolved, the president must develop in order to facilitate dealing with his people and they may infect them with diseases (we know that the elderly They are exposed to many diseases) and as they get older, Alzheimer’s disease can cause them to be “quickly forgetful”.
• The good points (factors) of the policy of the elderly: they are wiser and more knowledgeable than the youth, and because they have more experience than the youth.
2•While the good points in the youth government: It is a good thing as it reduces the unemployment rate and the employment of manpower, and they can also be relied upon to bear responsibility
From my side, I don't think they have bad points, but the president was 21.22 years old. This is considered a bad thing for me.
I think the right age to be president is [30-40] because they know right from wrong and they are more mature, otherwise, if the age is less, they may be immature because they left adolescence and their mind is adolescence
Can you give any examples of good or bad leadership from older or younger leaders?
First: the older leaders,
A: The good points:
1- More culture and science
2- He has life experiences
3- He has a broad thinking.
B: Bad points:
1- Many diseases (as he grows old he will pass through many diseases, diseases will affect him like Alzheimer's disease, he will quickly become forgotten.
Tania: Younger leaders
A: The good points
1- Providing him with experience
2- Employing manpower
B: the bad points
1- Not enough experience as much as the senior presidency by age
2-While he will be out of adolescence, he does not have good experience, knowledge and culture.
*1* What can be the good things about having a government made up of old people? What could the bad things be?
The good thing about having a government made up of old people is that he may have experience and wisdom from the past and he will be more knowledgeable about the requirements of this society.
The bad thing about having a government made up of old people is that it doesn't govern people well and can't control them
*2* What can be the good things about having a government made up of young people? And what could the bad things be?
The good things about having a government made up of young people is that young people are the strongest in society in relation to the age groups and also they can rule the country and also you see them are just in their rule they do not oppress anyone
The bad things about having a government made up of young people is that sometimes you see them in a hurry, and there is a type of young people who do not have experience and wisdom, and there is a kind of reckless
*3* What is the ideal age for a president? and why?
The ideal age for a president, in my opinion, is 35 because he is in his youth and has a mature and distinguished mind
I agree because... knowing that ''The bad things about having a government made up of young people is that sometimes you see them in a hurry, and there is a type of young people who do not have experience and wisdom, and there is a kind of reckless *3* What is the ideal age for a president?'' and that ''The good things about having a government made up of young people is that young people are the strongest in society in relation to the age groups and also they can rule the country and also you see them are just in their rule they do not oppress anyone'' so that's why i agree
You raise some good points. I do you think though that you should not assume that your ideal 35-year-old president is a "he". Women are key leaders in many countries and bring huge strengths to their roles!
Do you think you could take on a political leadership role at some point in your life? What do you think could be a benefit of a female leader over a male one?
The presence of a good ruler is a necessary thing in the country, and therefore there must be a president who fulfills the specifications of governance and these specifications have nothing to do with being old or young in age. Also, the elderly are better than the youth in governance, but there are characteristics that distinguish the elderly from the youth. The elderly have many experiences. If they face a situation, they can build a solution according to the situation that happened with them previously, but the young people in this regard have few experiences, but that does not mean that they do not They can solve the problems that confront them. With intelligent thinking, they can find solutions. Young people are distinguished by their strong affection for their homelands. Therefore, they sacrifice the most for the sake of their country, and I see that in my country. They are also distinguished by their intelligence as for the elderly, they love their country, but you do not find sacrifice in them as you find it in the youth. The elderly are characterized by calmness and deliberation in situations, but young people get angry quickly and rush into situations quickly and this may not be in the interest. Therefore, the ruling must be a mixture of young people and the elderly in order to complete the ruling.
Older people will be more intelligent and will make better decisions as youn gpeople will just say stupid things like 'Everyone gets chocolate and sweets for free' and adults will say ' chocolate will cost £1.25 ' which is very very reasonable.
Free chocolate would be great but as you realise, someone has to pay for it!!
You say that older people are more intelligent but perhaps a better way to say this would be that they are more experienced and maybe wise? There are many highly intelligent young people out there and also lots of less intelligent older people (and vice-versa)! Do you think there might a balance to be found between youth and experience? What age do you think that might happen?
The bad things about young people being in the government will be that they will make inappropriate decisions and the good things about young people being in the government is they will be able to learn things for longer and hopefully be a good M:P.
That's an interesting perspective based the impact of young people in government. In comparison to older individuals, how do you think young leaders could benefit the country?
I think that what you are saying is true young people may make inappropriate decisions and will make good decisions .
Do you think it's true to say that older people sometimes make inappropriate decisions too? Can you think of any examples? How do we decide what is appropriate?
The perfect age for a president will be 35 because it is old enough to be intelligent enough to be a president but not too old to be a president so that is a suitable age.
Hi, currently in the US you have to be 35 to serve as president in order to ensure the leader has wisdom and maturity. Do you believe there is enough reason to change that law, even though the oldest president thus far was 43?
i am not going to say you are wrong but you can be old and young. to run for president is 34 and 35.
I think that it is good to have a government composed of elderly people who have experience and wisdom in managing the country. It is bad sometimes that a government of the elderly lacks the aspirations and interests of young people. I also think that it is good to have a government of young people capable of running the country in line with the current era, but there are some negatives to a government made up of young people only, including the hasty decision-making. Despite that, I believe that there is no specific age for working in the political field as long as the person has the capabilities and experience that will help him make the right decision.
Another negative detail of having an aged government is that thanks to their elderly minds they sometimes can't make the wise and best decisions and that cost dearly and I mean no disrespect but if their minds are not thinking properly they would not be able to run the government for long. A negative detail of having a young government is that thanks to their young age they cannot make the wise,and best decsion.
From my point of view, the old policemen do not have the elegance and agility that the young men do, but nevertheless, they have good experience, intelligence and acumen, and you rarely find a small person who has the characteristics of a senior policeman, so the police team should consist of adults and children.
In my opinion, I suggest that the perfect age for a president is between 38 to 45 years because a person of that age bracket has already experienced the country challenges and is willing to try to solve them in any possible way that may include borrowing ideas from other developed countries, using respectful language unlike a person below that age bracket who may just decide to do what they feel like due to less experience of the country challenges and excitement for the presidential post.
I agree because yes this experience is the best teacher and of course a person in this age bracket shall try their level best to correct the mistakes made by previous leaders and put a way forward for more development
I am divided by whether it is good to have younger or older people in charge of us. It is good to have older people because they have experience and may be able to think more carefully about their decisions. However, this could also be a bad thing because their experience may cause them to view things in a particular way and they may not be able to think from all perspectives.
Young people would be good for the government because they may be less biased in the way they think as they have less experience. However, they may not be good as authorities because they are inexperienced and may not fully understand that there are multiple ways to solve problems.
I agree with you if we were to have a young government there would be problems but if we were to have an old government there would be problems with that government as well.
Hi spectacular_raisin - Can you give some examples of the problems you think an older or younger government would cause?
Sure, with a young government they would not have enough experience and they would not think that much carefully and would sometimes make arrogant decisions that could have a big impact. With an older government they would be more responsible but thanks to how old they are they would think that sometimes the old way would be the best and I mean no disrespects but sometimes the old way is not the best way and besides thanks to there old age there mind would deteriorate and because of that they cannot make careful decisions, but it is hard to determine but in my opinion the most responsible people and the people who would better the country should be in charge.
This is a great example of responding to and building on another student's comment, spectacular_raisin!
Thanks!!!
Try checking out My other comments and a person named accurate_Wombat gave me the Idea for some of the comments I made try checking out some of there too.
It's great to learn from other comments, spectacular_raisin!
Check out my first comment that I posted on November 3rd there I stated the positive sides of having an aged or younger government and shoutout to accurate wombat he gave me some ideas for my first comment
The ideal age for a president?!
It is the age of youth, as it represents the largest proportion in societies. He will take care of his country. He will understand the thinking of most of them. He will be close to them. And that's a good thing for society to be sophisticated and sophisticated in the pool of ideas between the president and his fellow citizens.
Do you think someone older won't be able to cover all these topics as well?
Having an aged government isn't such a bad thing but there is much controversy in their mode of thinking.The most obvious benefit of an aging population is that more people will enjoy long lifespans, as access to proper housing, food, and healthcare continues to increase across the board.Sometimes they believe doing things the same old way works best but it's not the same every time is it. his difficulty in getting on the field, secondly, his preoccupation with his old age and the diseases of his old age.
In opinion people who show courage and people who want to better the living conditions of that country. A great candidate for president should be a person who has served in the military and someone who has risked their own life and someone who very much wants to help the citizens of their country should be president.
The possible good thing about having a government made up of older people is that older people might have more background. They have more background because they have lived more and know more about how things work around there. Also another reason they should do good because they think more carefully about their decisions. The bad thing that can happen if having a government for older people is that they can forget something. Like they said a great point last night and then the next morning he probably forgot. And old people really don't like to use technology and they like to use old school methods.
The presence of a good ruler is a necessary thing in the country, and therefore there must be a president who fulfills the specifications of governance and these specifications have nothing to do with being old or young in age.

What might the good things be about having a government made up of older people? The good things about having a made up government for older people is that the older people may forget things but the younger people don't forget things.
What might the good things be about having a government made up of older people?What might the bad things be?
The bad thing is that the older people sometimes forget stuff, the younger people sometimes forget stuff but think about the older people, who always forget stuff.
What’s the perfect age for a president? Why?The perfect age for a president is 35 because its a younger age. Plus it's a perfect way to begin your career because you have a long way to go, You are 35 now but wait until you get like 76 big time money.
35 would be considered very young for president. You make a good point that a younger president could have a longer career, why might this be important?
I am divided by whether it is good to have younger or older people in charge of us. It is good to have older people because they have experience and may be able to think more carefully about their decisions. However, this could also be a bad thing because their experience may cause them to view things in a particular way and they may not be able to think from all perspectives.and old people have way more experience but i think that.
Young people would be good for the government because they may be less biased in the way they think as they have less experience. However, they may not be good as authorities because they are inexperienced and may not fully understand that there are multiple ways to solve problems.and protect people's and to help there country. And on my opinion i think older people's are better to be a president and one day one of you guys can be a president
It is good for the ruler of the state to have wisdom and a high understanding. In this way, the rulers are chosen. We agree well that old people are knowledgeable and experienced in the affairs of the state, but it is possible that when a man reaches old age and becomes old, he cannot bear the pressure of work and the responsibility that falls On his shoulders, and we must give the opportunity to the youth group so that they can take their right to rule, express their opinion and deliver the message of the youth, as is the case with us in the President of the State of Palestine, he is over eighty years old and is still in the presidency and they could not replace him with the youth group, but at the time This is why we have advanced minds. These minds must be exploited in the development of the state.
One of the advantages of having a government of young people is that the young is people knew the general situation in the country as them themselves were living the situation of other young people in the country and knew the crises and problems they might go through and their negatives were that they are reckless and have no experience like the people if we have older presidents that if they lose.
The good things about having a government made up for younger people because they are young people because they don't make that much mistakes like old people. Also they gain information about their options and rights, develop decision-making skills, develop an understanding of decision processes. Their mind is fresh and not full of stuff. But a bad thing about having a young government is that they don't have many problems since they don't have many problems they don't know how to solve them. And they don't know much about the government since there still young. And an advantage is that they don't forget stuff fast.
I agree but another negative detail is that thanks to their young age they would not have enough experience and wisdom.
I think that older people are better because they know alot from their mistakes but it is true young people could have some good potential but elder presidents also have good potential to.i mean im not hating on either but i think somone maybe in their 37s or 40s could make a good president but young lawmakers could have a lottt of potential by like making something were kids can work at real jobs at 12 or something.
First, the bad things about having an older president is that they might believe in the thing that went on back then and younger people these days may not agree with the decision that that president may make.The good things about have a older president is that they may be more wise and know more life experiences than a older person and they may know what to do when they are president.Second, the bad things about having a younger person is that they may be more irresponsible and they may not as many life experiences as an older person.Yet a younger person may be good because they think the same way as a younger generation and a younger generation may agree with a younger presidents decisions.I would say that the perfect age for a president would be from 30-40 because they may understand a younger generation and an older generation's opinion.
As stated by an accurate wombat "Having an aged government isn't such a bad thing but there is much controversy in their mode of thinking". If we had an aged government there would be both positive and negative the Positive is that the elderly people who run the government have more experience and wisdom. The negative side is that with their deterioration and ageing they cannot function and run the government properly and they think the old way is the best way, and in no means do I show disrespect to the elderly it is just that thanks to there old age they cannot run the government forever and besides the old way is not the best way. If young people were to run the government just like the elderly people there would be negative and positive sides the positive is that they would be at their prime which would make it more suitable to run the government for years. The negative side is that with them being young they would not have enough experience and wisdom and they might slip up and make mistakes in battles and in political term. But in my opinion everybody should have a just and fair government whether they be old or young.
what the perfect age for a president? the perfect age is 34 you can run for president the president can do a lot of stuff like veto bills and sign bills.
Hi Caring_wolf - I'm curious how you came up with 34 as the perfect age, could you explain?
yes i can explain so there is a pacific age limit for a president you have to be 34 and 35.
The bad thing is that the government has to much power and they pretty old so they think they can do anything they want like brian kemp. The good thing is that they know when to stop when war is happening or something and they know what they doing and they good at it. a perfect age for a president is 45
The good thing about having an older government is the more experience in the life of the people.Older governments have more experience in policies they see policies control the kunshe and know what is good and what bad decision.older governments have the bad. Older governments are not good with money in today's high tax on people.
The good thing about having a younger government is the more experience in the people wet and what they dort wet becus the wes the people want what they want.Younger government is the more experience in the home popom the high rate of reat to pay. The younger government has the bad.younger government is not experienced in the policies.
Perfect age for a president is 60 years old
You are right that having an older government is not a bad idea because they have a wealth of experience just like you mentioned. They have experience and would be able to make good decisions based on their experience.
But you said something which I do not agree with. You said, "The younger government has the bad." Let's look at it from the point of view that yes the younger government may not have the wealth of experience that the older government may have but they are more creative and open-minded when compared to older people. Creativity can be used to solve the problems of man. They can use their problem-solving skills to ensure the smooth running of the country. Don't you agree?
Both younger and older governments have their advantages and disadvantages so they should all work together in a government to complement and supplement each other and there should also be equal representation of both sides. I also think that the personality of a leader should also be considered and not just age. A leader with a good personality will be able to surround his/herself with the right company young or old, needed to run the country well.
Having an old government isn't such a bad thing but they think doing a things the old way will work but its not the same every time is it. We young people should have a chance to show the world that young people can make a change. Well that's just my opinion.I think the perfect age should be 13 or 14 young people should have a chance to.
Having an older government leaders is good because they have more experience of life and work and they will make more wiser decisions but having a younger government means they would have more education and knowledge about decision making about making new rules,laws,etc.The perfect age for a president is between the ages 45 and 60 because there have a better knowledge to know what can be a good decision and bad decision. and who there vice president is based on how good they do.
You are right because they have more experience than younger people and don’t make mistakes
The good things about having a government with older people is that the older body would definitely have more experience than the younger body and help govern a country better. But I feel like the major issue with the older body would be that they wouldn't really get issues coming from a younger audience in the country because they would be from two different generations on how they view the world.
The advantages of having a younger government would be that the younger body would have more time to engage with the public and get to understand their issues and try to solve them. I don't really think that there might be any bad effects with the younger government.
I'd say that the perfect age for a president would be between 35 to 40 because they would still have some youth in them and also some experience to help balance out the playing field.
You are right because older people have more experience than younger people. I will think older people will lead because they do not make mistakes and they care for there people and I will think older people will be fit for us they are responsible and they have more knowledge so you are right and older people will be more than younger people
In my opinion, personality which is defined as a self-regulatory system that mediates the relationship between a person and their environment is what determines who is a leader. So, on the side of older leaders , one would tell you that they have more knowledge or even more experience and some would also tell you that they have also been through the young stage as well hence claiming that they will be able to make decisions that will cater for both the age brackets but forgetting that the young people just like the olders have achieved education and have learnt different skills such as problem solving which is one of the most powerful characteristics of great leaders . Therefore whether young or old one's personality is what determines one's ability.All ages deserve a chance to participate in politics.
The good things of having older people of the government is, they have had more time to learn what are the do's & donts. They have more knowledge in certain areas of education such as, medicine, and social work. They also protect citizens from outside inference. The good things about having a younger government is, they would try to make things more modern & use things that are trending. The only probelm i have with that is that, having a younger government would be terrible, because the knowledge on certain things would be low. In my opinion, the perfect age for a president is middle 40-50's, m=because they have had enough education.
Having an older government isn't the worst, but may not be the best for society. After all, Older governments may be more experienced and have learned more, but they still aren't necessarily as open minded as a younger government. A younger government will look more into the world and see what laws will be better for the community, but It depends if their in the right mind or not. It depends on how well they act and how good of a lawmaker they will be. It depends on their personality and if they care or not. The perfect age for a President in my opinion, is at least 35.
Can you give an example of a leader making choices for a community?
At this point of society we would need a elderly,but young government for right now because people won't do positive things if there was a too young government and if there was a elder government then the rules would be less more positive in society right now. We need a government that has our backs and does the most positive thing for the rules,so if we had a negative government then there would be way more riots,disrespecting,and etc. and the time right now with people struggling with money and food then that will get worse with negative rules. If we had a young/elderly government then they would know what to do with all the laws because they know about the past and the present,so they could old laws and new laws and that will make the laws better for the world right now,for now in the society then we would need someone to know what to say and say the right thing for all the people in the US. The world has some sickness's and the government shouldn't say "We have found a cure for these sickness's" even though they didn't find a cure,they should say that and not be lying about finding a cure so they would have to say the truth.
digital artic fox why don't you think younger lawmakers will be better?
I think having an older government isn't the worst, but may not be the best for society. After all, Older governments may be more experienced and have learned more, but they still aren't necessarily as open minded as a younger government. A younger government will look more into the world and see what laws will be better for the community, but It depends if their in the right mind or not. It depends on how well they act and how good of a lawmaker they will be. It depends on their personality and if they care or not. The perfect age for a President in my opinion, is at least 40.
I think that having an aged based government is a good thing but i don't think it all perfect the way it is. Because of my way of thinking i suggest that we should raise the age needed to be apart of the government from 35 to 45. To give the the people that work their a understanding of the people and their demandes but to also have better experience with working with more bemandes. In my opinion the perfect age for a president should be ranging between thirty to forty years old, well that is because I think that that age range is still is the area of young and old they still want to be involved with recent happenings.And I prefer that the president be of a suitable age for the position of president, and that he be just and judge among the people.It is good for the ruler of the state to have wisdom and a high understanding. But the young understand the people more. So in conclusion the presadent needs to be from ages 50 to 60.
At 35 someone might be a doctor, teacher, CEO or lawyer. Why do you think 45 is the right age to be part of government?
It's because by 45 someone will have experienced everything in the world and will become wiser than he was in his 30s. And by 45 he will have reasonable and building ideas that will help develop the country. By 45 he will have related with the people in the society and finds out their problems and what they want so that later he comes into power like to give an example in Uganda Kyagulanyi Donald aka Bobi Wine who grew up in the ghetto areas and became a famous musician was able to find out what people are going through in those ghetto areas and tried to come into power where he mostly competed with the current president of Uganda though he was unlucky he didn't go through but you could just see the ideas that he used to share during his campaigns were surely going to lead to the development of the country and he is 40years.
Having older people in charge would make sense they have though more than younger people they have more and if younger people are in charge then they will make everything overpriced because they think that everything is about money and that will be bad for all of us.
i think older because old people are very wise.Young people are smart to but they don't have that much experience as old people do.
Do you think you've made any assumptions here? Are all old people wise?
I disagree because... young people have more creative minds and old people might ONLY want to follow 'traditions'; they might not like new ideas. As people didn't treat women equally to men in the victorian period, an old government may still be unfair and still not treat people equally. They can also be forgetful as their body ages, problems may not be solved properly! Whereas, a young person can understand people more and be open minded, can't they?
successful_papaya thanks for your comment. Do you think that younger lawmakers might value traditions too or just older lawmakers?
I think that having a government up of old people because it’s good cause they have more experience then younger ones and older governments will be smart and know lots of things than the younger people I will go for the old ones because they have like a lot the good things about having a old government they have experience more things than young governments
and the perfect age for a government will be about 70 and 60 and 80 or 90 that will be the best
the reason why I pick old governments because they know a lot more then younger governments and old governments are nice and mindful and they have a lot experienced than younger ones so you should pick old governments
I say older because they have more experience and more responsibility and can make more safer laws than younger lawmakers, also older lawmakers could have more power than younger lawmakers, rulering over a state is a lot of
responsibility and a lot of power but with older people they can probably handle some of that, also it doesn't matter if it older or younger but in my opinion older is better.
You do give a lot of good evidence for why older people should run the government but there are some negative problema for when older people run the government and I mean no disrespect to the elderly but In their mode of thinking they sometimes think the old way is the better way and the old way is sometimes the better way but not all the time and beside with their old age their minds would deteriorate and their mode of thinking would be damaged and because of that they would make many bad decision but I am not saying that young people make a better government because they would make many mistakes but it is just the elderly people cannot run the country forever.
Some good things about having a government made up of older people might be that older people might be more mature and know more things than younger people in the government. The bad things might be that they might think of how it was back in the days then bring it to the world TODAY.
The good thing about having a younger president in the government is that they were in school not too long ago so they might know more things and people will relate to them more than older people. A bad thing that younger people might have when being a president is they could still be developing on work and how to even be a president because you still need to learn how to become one. I think the perfect age of being a president is probably like late thirties and early forties because it's not too old or it's not too young.
Can you find any examples of good leaders around the age you think is best?
The reason i think that younger people should be in charge. It is because they live longer and they don't forget things easily. They know what's good for the children because they are closer to kids than older people. I think they should be 29. I think that they should be younger so when they get out they can still get another job. The reason i don't think that they should be in charge is because they think they know everything. Another reason is because they forget too much and it's bad for a country. I think that if you are older than 75 you should not be in charge anymore. I think that because they are too old they should be resting. That's the reason why I want younger people in charge
Older or younger lawmakers that's the question?Well in my opinion I thinks it important that both are in power because they would have different view on the world and different ideas. But if I had to choose one I would choose older lawmakers.I would choose older law makers because they simply have seen more stuff happen in their lifetime so if something happens again they would know what to do because they could have seen it happen before or they lived though it and if they lived through it they would know how hard or easy those times were.On the other hand yonger lawmakers not very good when it comes to making laws because they have seen less they may have heard stories,but it is not the same as living through it.you also need to factor in what they say they are going to do because they can say a lot of things but not do anything and or make the situation worse.
Just so you know just because there is a lawmaker that is older does not make they a better lawmaker.Because they are still humans and humans can tell lies.They did not turn into someone that can't tell a lie.And the some goes for younger lawmakers.And that is my opinion.
Having a high aged government is not really a bad thing but they like to do things the old way. They sometimes don't understand how the modern world works and want the old way for example how Donald trump wanted to ban tik tok from the USA. most kids use tiktok a lot and tiktok is pretty modern If someone who is 7-38 may want to use tiktok but trump may want to use facebook.For elders when younger people may want to use tiktok overall though i think that elder presidents are better but they need to watch what they are doing sometimes no disrespect or anything.But i think they need to think things thoroughly like maybe make a vote for elders and young people so we can verify each others rights for what they want to use.1For example a young president may want to user a older model of a certain a item or equipment and an elder president may be to impulsive.And i'm just not getting on old people to i think that younger people could be presidents or makes decisions on laws but they may let their emotions control them instead of them thinking intelligently.For example if someone says something bad about them they may not just fan it away they may make a bad decision to that person that called them a name and forget about the world just worrying about themselves.But fr i think both can make rules we just have to be aware not selfish understand modern things understand that some old things have to go but if we get that in check i think there could be a young leader better as lawmaker instead of old as long as they have an aged person with them to.
Do you think Tik Tok could be useful to politicians as a way to get votes?
The good things about having an aged government is that they have a little more experience in peoples and also their lives . If that person is born in like 1942 they were most likely to experience life. A bad thing might be that since they're older they might try to use older rules that they had to go through while growing up. The good things about having a younger government is that they get into the new rules sometimes. A bad thing about having a younger government is that they can easily get ruled over by elder people that work with them. Since they are "older" then whoever is the government they will try to abuse that "power" The perfect age for a president for me is like in their mid 50's and late 40's. I chose that age because i feel like they're half n half with life. So that they have experience in life and don't have some. Some presidents are elders and sometimes can have a mindset of a younger person.
There are benefits of having both older and younger lawmakers making decisions. Older lawmakers bring a lot to the table and have a variety of different traits that can be beneficial to everyone. They bring experiences and knowledge that younger lawmakers would not have. In addition just because a person is old doesn't mean that they do not have much to offer the government. They way that older lawmakers operate and their perspectives on center topics can be crucial to making the best decisions. A young person is less experience but still could have better skills then a old person especially in areas in critically thinking, technology and making quick decisions. I also think that older people can get to our community more and young people I feel like is better at controlling people's perspectives on social media.
This is an excellent summary of pros on both sides.
In my opinion, I would say we should have older law makers . I have this opinion because they may know more about law than younger people. I think that because, they were here longer than us in general so they will know about things that went on before we were born. I also say older law makers because, their laws will make more sense because when they think they think about every generation, but when younger lawmakers think they just think about our generation. I also say that we should have older law makers because, they do things the older way and that's a good thing because, the new way isn't good because, they think everything is legal instead of illegal. Older people work better at watching the news and reading books.
Hi incomparable_lychee, thanks for your comment. Am I right that you believe older law makers have more experience. Are there any advantages to new ways of thinking?
The most obvious benefit of an aging population is that more people will enjoy long lifespans, as access to proper housing, food, and healthcare continues to increase across the board.From this starting point, the role of government is formed. Since all individuals have rights to life, liberty, and property, it is necessary that these rights be maintained. Human beings are physical creatures in social relationships with one another. As such, it is necessary that behavior be directed, regulated, controlled, and restrained so that respect for the rights of everyone is manifested. That is, individual behavior must be governed so that the actions of one individual do not violate the corresponding rights of others.The perfect age ofr the president is 35 year age
Are Older or younger lawmakers better? In my opinion younger lawmakers are better because they have a more open mindset. On the other hand older lawmakers have a more set mindset. What i mean by this is that younger lawmakers will think how we think and use our improved technology more often and that will help with today's problems. But older people will use older methods and really won't solve the problems.
But on the other hand older people will know more about the problems than the younger people. They will also have more knowledge. For example the bird flu they have most likely have been through it so they will know how it spread and how to git rid of it. Another example is like older people have been around much longer so they will know how to make certain medicine. Because they might not sell anymore because that type of diseases have't been here for a long time. So in my opinion the younger will be better but the older will also come in handy. Whats your opinion?
The perfect age for president in my thoughts is 35. Why 35 because when asked about the ideal age for a president, most Democrats say they prefer someone in their 40s through their 60s. With nearly half saying the best age for a president is “in their 50s.” Another reason the perfect age is 35 is because they wouldn't be forgotten things in such a way like old people and I pretty sure they have enough problems to take care of big issues. Although Democrats who are 70 and older are more likely than those in other age groups to say it is best for a president to be in their 60s (33% say this), nearly half (47%) say the 50s is the ideal age.
Why would a government full of older people be good? Well In my opinion I agree, Why? Well its older people which means more experience , Wisdom , Courage, Wise choices/decisions. I have a whole list of reasons but it would take too long. Young people on the other hand are not so good , as a young person myself I would say that sometimes we forget to think before saying something. We never think before making a decision, I had to learn the hard way. It took me a long time for that. Young people are Reckless. I would say that Younger people taking the risk might be good, besides that I don't see anything good about having Young People as the government. I would say the perfect age for a president is 55, and he/she has to know about history.
HI knowledgeable_ant, thank you for sharing your experience of perhaps not thinking through a decision enough. You also say younger people taking a risk might be good, can you give an example of when taking a risk has paid off?
Maybe I agree with you a little. i believed that youth be a vital element in many areas of political, economic, social, cultural and even human life, and to have a distinctive role in political activity. Because they're more ambitious and more changeable than the elderly, and they have a questioning the direction of the future. I think they have a right to decision-making. We often see young people interested in following political events, and discussing political issues with their parents or friends. The presence of social media and the Internet also contributes a lot to the education of interested youth. I think youth are the wealth of societies, because they are the future. And they have a lot of energy and enthusiasm.
Do you agree with me ?
In fact, reaching high government positions is not an easy thing, as it is done gradually over many years. The presidency of the state has political acumen and experience in economics and sociology. It takes years to acquire and practice it. Here, the elderly will have experience in running the country. The bad things are that the rule is for long years and not Change takes place like the monarchy. As for the youth, I see that experience, sophistication, and gradualism in this field are the basis. There is no fixed rule. The wisdom of the elders is not compensated by the intelligence and activity of the youth, and this does not negate the absence of young presidents such as France, Canada and Greece.
The ideal age should not be less than 50 years
In my personal opinion younger lawmakers should be the majority as a reflection to the population in the avrage age is 38 but this doesn't reflect what is in government the average age of a US Lawmaker is 68 and above, the common argument is "the older the wiser" but this isn't exactly true stats have shown that one's intelligence quantity is heavily affected by their age and younger people specifically from 20-35 have a higher IQ which will affect their decision making.
Having a government made up of older people is both good and bad. The good part is that; the older people have alot of life experiences in the aspect. This is good for the country's economy but not the social life of the civilians because these politicians become so corrupt. In the other hand, having a government with young people is worse than going on a suicide mission. First of all, the economy will collapse due to the lives young people live today (a life dictated by others). Young people nowadays, live following commands of their peers (peer pressure). So, in my view, this can lead to so many problems such as economic cash drop, poverty across the whole country and many more. This will lead to an automatic set-back in the economic, political and social sectors.
So, in my own opinion, the best age a president can be ranges from 36-55. I say this because by this age one should have been able have seen and experienced some world problems/crises. Such a president will have the appropriate physic to run a whole global nation.
In conclusion, the best type of lawmaker is to be middle aged. (Which means, not young and not old)
The Constitution lists only three qualifications for the Presidency — the President must be at least 35 years of age, be a natural born citizen, and must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years.
They gain information about their options and rights, develop decision-making skills, develop an understanding of decision processes, and gain a sense of control in these processes.
Popular sovereignty is government based on consent of the people. The government's source of authority is the people, and its power is not legitimate if it disregards the will of the people. Government established by free choice of the people is expected to serve the people, who have sovereignty, or supreme power.
something good about having a government is they could make good choices for people everywhere and help people in all types of ways.
its bad if there old because if they die no one will want to vote again.
20 because there very young and mature.
It depends on their skills and traits.Like an older person can have a different opinion than the rest of there generation and a younger person can have a different opinion than the rest of their generation.For a president they need to have character, good communication skill, courage, integrity etc.Sometimes age has nothing to do with it and it depends on their skills and traits.
A young group of government workers can be a good thing because they are more worried about problems that are not only happening in the present time but also in the future. Younger lawmakers can fix certain situations faster than older lawmakers may be able to. But on the other hand many of the young people in modern time today can be immature and sometimes can be disrespectful. They are often impatient and may have trouble working with others. Today we need more people that are willing to work together and not just be right. A government of older people could also be good because they have more intelligence, patience and know more about certain situations and can be more politically involved than their younger peers. So overall a government of older people would be better in my opinion.
An advantage that older people have is experience. Although you need to be 35 to be a U.S President, under the age of 35 isn’t much time for to get much knowledge. Older people also have patience and time. I believe the perfect age for a president it 45-70. Not to old not to young.
In my opinion having a government full of older people is good in some ways and bad in some ways because older people think they can go back in the day and do the stuff they did back and the day but they can't because it wouldn't fit this generation. Little do they know its a new generation and you have to do stuff a new way... but the pros is that older people know more stuff then young people do im not saying young people don't know anything I'm just saying older people have more experience. Then younger people but younger people know stuff to they can be educated more than older people.
I think that what you are saying is true . Having a government full of older people has some good and bad stuff to it older people have more experience since they are older , and yes they may also want to do thing the old way which could sometimes work but not really . Younger people would probably have the answer to more stuff since they are younger , and know more about this generation .
I feel like the people is over the government is because they always trying to change something that doesn’t need to be changed and the gas prices to make it higher
I feel like I know why the people who likes the government is because they give them lows to try to keep the city safe and giving them a check for there family and kids.
Having a government that could be ruined by younger lawmakers is a good thing. That means that they will be able to solve modern problems and will be able to understand modern issues better. And come up with the best solution and for these problems like suicide and pollution. Having younger people do things differently is a good thing that means that we are doing different things than the old ways. And are giving the people what now in days want.
Thanks for your comment determined_land. What would you say to someone who says that younger people don't have enough experience to be able to make important decisions?
Older people have much more experiment than kids , kids have not lived there full life and don't know as much as adults , If you are running for president you have to have a reason why and also people have to vote you, It would be much different if a child ran for president . If a child were to run for president and only people 18+ could vote Most likely a child would not be voted children , for someone who has lived there child life they would know what is good for the people , yes a child could know lots of stuff but it may not be the right things . I Honestly younger people should not be able to make laws.
Older people understand much more than younger people they have experienced their life and know much more than younger people
The goods about having Older people as president is that they have more experience with the economic state of the world than the younger folks, that are not so much interested in the world. In my opinion this generation just like being a child and don't like to take responsibility for their actions. If they were to not get voted they will be most likely to have a tantrum in post stuff that can embarrass them selves and others. This is the reason why I believe that Older people needs to stay the president.
I have learned in my life that there are positives and negatives in everything, and no matter how much the positives lie, there must be negatives, and no matter how many negatives there are, there must be positives. One of the good things about the elderly is that they can make the right decisions because of their previous life experiences and because of their calmness and lack of recklessness resulting from life experience, and one of their negatives is that they do not allow young people to be their future entity, and there are also some elderly people who make decisions based on their past and not keeping pace with developments.
One of the advantages of having a government of young people is that the young people knew the general situation in the country, as they themselves were living the situation of other young people in the country and knew the crises and problems they might go through, and their negatives were that they are reckless and have no experience like the elderly because they did not establish and live these problems before And they don't know how to solve it because of the lack of experience I think that the ideal age for the president is from 40 to 55 years so that he is a veteran person who has lived young people and understood what their lives are and what their conditions are and he has experience in his life.
Should a government filled with older people be good or bad? Well, I agree that older people should be lawmakers Because older people have Wisdom, courage, Wise choices and they make good decisions and are wiser and they have more experience with being lawmakers. There is a long list of things that older people are better at than younger people. Also, younger people aren't so good at being lawmakers, as myself I would say that we mostly forget before we say something and for myself as younger people never think before making a decision. Younger people have a risk of it being good. I have never seen a good thing about having young people being good lawmakers. I would say a good age for a president would be ranging from 55-60 because they have better facts about history.
The presence of a good ruler is a necessary thing in the country, and therefore there must be a president who fulfills the specifications of governance and these specifications have nothing to do with being old or young in age. Also, the elderly are better than the youth in governance, but there are characteristics that distinguish the elderly from the youth. The elderly have many experiences. If they face a situation, they can build a solution according to the situation that happened with them previously, but the young people in this regard have few experiences, but that does not mean that they do not They can solve the problems that confront them. With intelligent thinking, they can find solutions. Young people are distinguished by their strong affection for their homelands. Therefore, they sacrifice the most for the sake of their country, and I see that in my country. They are also distinguished by their intelligence as for the elderly, they love their country, but you do not find sacrifice in them as you find it in the youth. The elderly are characterized by calmness and deliberation in situations, but young people get angry quickly and rush into situations quickly and this may not be in the interest. Therefore, the ruling must be a mixture of young people and the elderly in order to complete the ruling.
First, every country must have a just president in order to manage its internal and external affairs. A just president does not have a specific age and must have political experience in people’s conditions. Some prefer that the president be old because they believe that he has old knowledge and wisdom in releasing justice between People and not to differentiate between them and the president who is old has bad things about the country first: his difficulty in getting on the field, secondly, his preoccupation with his old age and the diseases of his old age.
And some prefer young people and believe that young people have strength and courage, and also that the president is a young man who has bad things. First: the difficulty of balancing matters and judging old minds. Second: rushing to unite the decision of the state
And I prefer that the president be of a suitable age for the position of president, and that he be just and judge among the people.
What do you think "a suitable age" is, harmonious_passionfruit?
In my personal opinion younger lawmakers should be the majority as a reflection to the population in the averge age is 38 but this doesn't reflect what is in government the average age of a US Lawmaker is 68 and above, the common argument is "the older the wiser" but this isn't exactly because studies have shown that one's intelligence quantity is heavily affected by their age and younger people specifically from 20-35 have a higher IQ which will affect their decision making.
I agree because... Having a government full of older people has some good and bad stuff to it older people have more experience since they are older , and yes they may also want to do thing the old way which could sometimes work but not really . Younger people would probably have the answer to more stuff since they are younger , and know more about this generation .
Oh, that's a new way of looking at it! What problems do you think younger people could solve that older people couldn't, affectionate_library?
The important presence of the elderly in government cannot be overlooked. We always need them, to take lessons and sum up the experiences and results they have gone through and learn from them. They are the treasure of life. As for their bad things, the most prominent of them are living in the past more than the present, and adhering to their own opinions and traditions... As for the good things. In the youth government, they are passion, vitality, energy and activity, in addition to that they are agents of change, and their participation is necessary to build a strong country. The person is more aware and more rational with matters, there is no doubt that it is not fair for one group to be alone in the government without another group. Young people and the elderly are an integrated partnership from the past and they are the elderly, and the present and they are the youth to build a strong future...
Having a good prime minister or government means a lot . For example Boris Jonson was a terrible prime minister . But when you have a debate or are elected for school counciler you feel really powerful and it makes some people want to become prime minister because you like being powerful. Do you think us kids are more powerful than those adults ?
That's a really interesting question, adaptable_guineapig! I wonder what other students will think about it. I think it's a great one for our experts too - why not ask it to Amelie Zilber on her expert page?
something I think about the old president they forget a lot of stuff and some things that I think about Young Presidents they will never forget the things that they have to do.Old presidents they can forget the paperwork that they have to do and Young Presidents can remember the paper works that they have to do.
Lawmakers are usually responsible adults , And that is for a reason . Older Lawmakers have experimented life while yet younger lawmakers have not , most of them are responsible not to say younger lawmakers aren't but , most children may think they know best but , they haven't experienced as much as older lawmakers . The people that choose the two runners (people running for president) WIll have a lot to do , if a kid knows they can run of course there gonna try and run , imagine how many younger people would try and run , that would just make there job way harder than it probably already is . This is adding up for me to say Older Lawmakers are For the Best they make better decisions
having a older governor would be more beneficial because more wisdom don't do childish things and basically
just better.
Having an aged government isn't always such a bad thing but there is a lot of controversy in the thinking mode of it . And sometimes they believe doing things the same old way always works the best . But in other places not everything is the exact thing they want. I don' t mean anything harmful but when I say a lot of young people/ mostly teenagers actually love controversy. It's their main thing to do and to be honest " of all people I mostly believe a lot of young people influence how the world creates change." and a lot of young people globally said they would boycott. a product company, country, or state because of a political , social or environmental stance . So in my opinion It doesn't really matter if you have young or a old government.
I'm interested by your point that young people love controversy. Can you give an example of this?
Young people may seem bad and irresponsible. But in my opinion some may seem like that but alot of young people spread the world of being political. Online and on platforms. Young people do multiple protests as well to stand up for their rights and their life they may seem irresponsible with some of the things they do. But they get more mature and some people even sacrifice their own life for rights and politics. Young people and teenagers actually love controversy but many people don't even realize it. " its there main thing to be honest. and young people to be honest want to create change and a difference in the world". It comes to iran rights to things that are simple. Some people think old governments are better but in my opinion it doesn't matter. as long as there responsible , We just need to tell them that we can create change and that we can do as much as the older government can. sorry for taking so long to respond.
Some goods things about having a government made up of older people is that the older people has been on this earth more then others meaning that they could probably have a experience with being a governor.
Some bad things about having a government made up of older people is that they might be to old to have the responsibility to be one because they might have injuries or so.
The perfect age to be a president is 35 and older because that is the legal age according to google.
I like that you have done some research as to how old or young a person has to be to be president! You have taught me something today dynamic_radio
The good things with the elderly can be the quality of expression, which is finding solutions to some of life's problems, and the bad things in this is their old thinking, not the wisdom that comes with age, as it is found above
The good things that come if the government is made up of young people is their creative thinking that gives support to society and also at this stage of life young people focus on their work
From my point of view, the worst thing in a government made up of young people can be the debate over the position Just
From my point of view, the appropriate age for a president is the age between 27-43, why? Because at the age of 27 young people have completed their adolescence stage and also their thinking is positive mixed with giving and creativity at the same time!
And 43 because he is very conscious in politics and occupations, so after this age he may take his resignation from the work he is doing.
What can be the good things about having a government made up of old people? What could the bad things be? The good things / that they have experiences, thinking and renewal of ideas through the passage of years and ways of dealing
The bad stuff is that their physique is weak, unable to post
What can be the good things about having a government made up of young people? What could the bad things be?
Good things / physical strength they have to prepare what raises the renaissance and progress of society
Bad things / recklessness rush to judgment
What is the ideal age for a chief? why?
40 and above, and the presidency contract is renewed every four years / Why is it because it is not a young and reckless age, not an old age and the inability to take responsibility, they are capable and they have experience and ideas

Having an old president is good cause they have more experience and they know what to do but younger president are smart and all but they would be kind of scared of war but older president are ready for war but. I think that older president are better then younger on opinion.
Is it fair to say that older people are more ready for war? I'm not sure that every older person would agree with you.
I don't think there should be a specific age for the president
He must have these qualities to be a good boss
One of these qualities is integrity, self-confidence, showing respect
A leader must show respect and appreciation in all his dealings; In order to gain people's trust, improve their performance, and increase the positive atmosphere at work, on the other hand, dealing with respect helps reduce disputes and conflicts.

Thanks for sharing this comment, fascinating_wombat. What is your opinion?
Every country should have a president that could be good that could help the country and give way money and give away some food and help everyone and if i could be be one of tho people's in the future i would be glad to help everyone i thing that this world should help everyone and no war just if this world was in peace and i feel like there should be some president that could be like that and it a good thing at least some president are like this and i should be one of tho's people's that can help in the future
What might the good things be about having a government made up of older people? The good thing about having an older government is that older people are mature and they have more wisdom, But on the other hand if younger people where in control of that type of stuff then they most likely would not know what they were doing and they would be making bad choices and it could ruin our economy. What might the good things be about having a government made up of younger people? The good thing about the younger governs is that they have good memories and they can make good rules. What’s the perfect age for a president? Why? The perfect age for a president is 35 years. The reason why you have to be 35 years old to be a president is because you need to have experience, and you might be too young.
Having older people to take over the government is what we have at the moment ( today ). Older people hae way different perspectives from the younger people because of different mindsets. Some younger people are not matured yet and they still are in school/college so they would have a lot of things on their hands. Older people tend to die quickly due to diseases and old age. Younger people have a possibility but it isn't rare for their ages. I Think they both could take over the government. Older and younger has pro's and con's.
I personally believe that it doesn't matter if you're old or young because they both have pros and cons. for young people they have more life ahead of them and can probably work faster. younger people have more energy than old people. Old people have more experience and understand more than younger people. Older people also tend to listen more than young people and have a higher understanding of more situations.
The good things about having a government made up by older people is that it kinda seems like the older people knows more. Some bad things about having a government made up of older people might be that older people get sick most of the times and have really bad health problems. Some good things about having a government made up of younger people is that younger people learned more overtime from previous presidents. So they know a little something. The bad things about having a government made or younger people is that some stuff they might not know and get confused on it. In my opinion , It is better to have older presidents.
having a government made up of older people is not that bad but the only challenging part about it is doing the same old things the way they used to do it.they would want to copy the same ideas they used since experience is the best teacher.
Governments that are older aren't necessarily the worst, but they may not be the best for society. In spite of their experience and wisdom, older governments aren't necessarily as open-minded as their younger counterparts. Younger governments will be more in tune with the world and know what laws would be best for the community, but it depends on whether they're in the right mindset. Whether or not they will make good lawmakers depends on how well they act and how well they act. They may or may not care, depending on their personality. Having at least 50-60 years of age is the perfect age for a President.
Older lawmakers because the more you get the more you see and the wiser you get so you know more things that is going on in the world.
I think an older government would be good because An older government is more mature and more experienced than the younger side. An older government isn't all that great though. A government with older people might bring back stuff from the older government which would be bad for today's world. A younger government I think would also be good because the younger side is more creative and they would relate to people more than older people and they just got out of schools so they remember more stuff. A younger government still has its disadvantage . A younger government is more inexperienced and is less mature than an older government. I think the perfect age for a president is 44 its not old and not young at the same time.
In my opinion just like other people have stated a great ideal age for a president should be a person in their 30s or 40s so that means they have experience enough things in their life for them to be president.
With an aged government depending on their state of mind it is not deteriorating and aged government can make careful and wise decisions if their mind has not aged that much.With a young government with them being in their prime and not have experienced that many events, they can make rash and stupid decisions with can cost people their lives,but as I have stated with being their prime their mind is stable and deteriorating like the elderly's mind if they have the right advice from someone wise they can make great decisions.
Society may not benefit from having an older government, although it isn't the worst. In spite of their experience and knowledge, older governments are not necessarily as open-minded as younger ones. You'll see more laws that will benefit the community under a younger government, but it depends on if their mind is in the right place. A lawmaker's ability to act well and be a good legislator will determine their success. They may care or not, depending on their personality. A President should be at least 55-60 years old, in my opinion.
There are many good things about having a governor of an old age. The best thing is that they are well experienced so they know alot. On the other hand there are disadvantages of having an old age governor. For example most of them might be so strict so they won't understand the new generation.
Having a young governor also have advantages and disadvantages. The best advantage is that they are open minded so they will understand people more nowadays. But the disadvantage is that they are not well experienced like the old governor so they don't know much.
In my opinion there is no perfect age for being the governor of a country,because it depends on alot of things like being wise and to be able to take good choices. And because it requires someone who is well-mannered and well-educated. In the end it's just about how capable are you of being a governor
I think that it is not bad to have an old lawmaker because they were here in war 1 . they remember more then younger people . but they forget things .
it not bad to have a young lawmaker or old lawmaker ?
Why is the American Congress mainly filled with members in their 60s, while 51% of America’s population is under 40? Are young people intentionally excluded from Congress? How do the current demographics of Congress affect the economy and environment? Diversity in the American Congress is increasing based on sex and race, however, younger people between the age of 25 and 35 are almost non-existent in Congress, while only 7% of members are between 35 and 40 years of age.
Can you share where you found this useful information?
The age does not matter we just need to make the world a better place. All the ads of conveners and other voting things is getting confusing because people say that they are hurting familys and we really don't know who to vote because of what is happening now. To bring balance in the world. Hatred, crime, violence, and many bad things are never going to stop. People are going to do bad to each other and other things of this world, that is why it needs to stop. The age of being president does not matter for me because what if they could make the world a better place than it is now. We, as the human race, can be heroes to these people. We should donate to multiple charities that help out people in need so that those people would be able to get more money to buy things like food and clothes. Thats is how we could make the world a better place, My opinion is that age does not matter to be president/leader.
In my opinion i think older law makers are best because they are more informed based on how things run in the government , also i think that older law makers are best because of their knowledge , the bad thing about having an older law maker is because they are more firm being the fact that they are older also they think as older people more like young people want to experience more put older law makers may feel as if that's a bad decision.
In my opinion it doesn't matter if they are old or younger government“They each have differences for example most of the Young people are the most affected by the crises facing our world, but they are also the best placed to lead the way to a better society for us. But “In the case of older politicians, their greatest asset is not the wisdom that comes with age, but the composure. So it does not really matter if the older or younger government is better because both are equally the same. One may have seen more but that doesn't mean the younger government has not. Both are good in equal ways, And both deserve equality.
The good thing about having a government made up of old people is that they are experienced and have great knowledge about the topic but its disadvantage is that they are averse to change and still believe in the stereotypical orthodox practices. Also they are slow and bureaucratic and lack technical advancement. While the young generation is skillful and is easily adaptable to changes and with them rudimentary practices will not be favored. But they still lack experience.
I think the perfect age for a president should be 35 where the person is mentally fresh and is a mix of old and new where he is not averse to any new technology and uses it both as a pro.
In my opinion i think older law makers are best because they are more informed based on how things run in the government , also i think that older law makers are best because of their knowledge , the bad thing about having an older law maker is because they are more firm being the fact that they are older also they think as older people more like young people want to experience more put older law makers may feel as if that's a bad decision. The good things about having an younger lawmaker is because they might make laws that will be more reasonable and also they may be more fun. As an lawmaker i feel as if your age should be near or at 40 or above. i hope this is helpful. Thank You
Young lawmakers with old mentors
Age is not the problem now, what really matters is the person , is the person some one of integrity and is willing to make the right choices for the country .
I would prefer that there be a government made up of senior members, because the older people know more about politics and law, and they have sufficient capabilities to negotiate wars and resolve state crises. They can also provide adequate care for their people and provide all their needs for food, drink, housing, and protection.
So this is my opinion if any one have another opinion you can share it with me and if someone agrees with my opinion also you can tell me
Both, because it will be more people to help out in the world.
From my point of view, I am not with or against the idea of governments presiding over the elderly. Sometimes I see that the elderly are clearly knowledgeable and experienced in the affairs of the state and can take the right decisions with all wisdom and rationality.
First, every country must have a just president in order to manage its internal and external affairs. A just president does not have a specific age and must have political experience in people’s conditions. Some prefer that the president be old because they believe that he has old knowledge and wisdom in releasing justice between People and not to differentiate between them and the president who is old has bad things about the country first: his difficulty in getting on the field, secondly, his preoccupation with his old age and the diseases of his old age.
And some prefer young people and believe that young people have strength and courage, and also that the president is a young man who has bad things. First: the difficulty of balancing matters and judging old minds. Second: rushing to unite the decision of the state
And I prefer that the president be of a suitable age for the position of pres

Having an aged government isn't such a bad thing but there is much controversy in their mode of thinking. Sometimes they believe doing things the same old way works best but it's not the same everytime is it. I mean no harm when I say we teenagers or we young people love controversy it's our way of life to be honest and the fact that we have never even been given the chance to show that we can change the world isn't really fair. In my opinion the perfect age for a president should be ranging between thirty to forty years old, well that is because I think that that age range is still is the area of young and old they still want to be involved with recent happenings. A good idea will be a young leader with an aged jury don't you think so at least all age groups could participate in politics.

In my opinion, having a young governor would be a bad idea because young adults think about many things and don't always make good decisions. On the other hand, a governor between 30, 40 or even 50 years of age thinks more about things that benefit a lot from experience, but at In this way, I feel that young people may be able to participate in politics.
What do you think the biggest issues are to young people? What do they care about fixing the most?
I think both of them are good
Please explain more?
Older or younger lawmakers? older deuykos mory yise no sufe mrud yise and. It is good to have older people because they have experience and may be able to think more carefully about their decisions. However, this could also be a bad thing because their experience may cause them to view things in a particular way and they may not be able to think from all perspectives.Young people would be good for the government because they may be less biased in the way they think as they have less experience. However, they may not be good as authorities because they are inexperienced and may not fuly understand that there are multiple ways to solve problems.
i fell like as a kid most kids in power will ask for infinted v bucks or all the snacks in the country and with adults kneeling down to kids will not really work because with out the knowledge of adult us kids will not survive very long so its not the best idea to give kids power.
Do you think there is an age when young people can make responsible decisions?
If a country wants to thrive, they need to have a good leader. A country cannot expect itself to thrive with a mediocre leader, everything will go downhill. In my opinion, I believe a good mix is necessary. Old people have a lot more experience than younger people. They’ve lived through a lot and can give the government orders based on that. More experience means more wisdom and knowledge. Old people will benefit a country as their knowledge could be beneficial, however, old people have old ideas and beliefs. Some of their beliefs could be controversial to some communities. For example, a large amount of may have something against people of color depending on how they were raised. Some old people may have Asians or Black people or Hispanic people or anybody that’s not of their race. This is obviously a bad thing because they then become biased and create rules against the other races they don’t agree with. Younger people, on the other hand, are extremely accepting. Most young people could not care less about the fact you’re a different race from them. Apart from race, younger people are also accepting so many other things including gender, sexuality, culture and many other things. This acceptance is really important in a governmental situation. However, young people tend to blow things out of tend to blow situations way out of proportion. A small issue could swell into a huge deal which can affect the whole country negatively. I believe that the perfect age for a president is between 30 and 35. This is because at this age you’re an adult that has some experience, but is also young enough to see situations from younger people’s perspectives. I feel like a government with people of this age could help a country thrive.
In my opinion this world should have old lawmakers, the reason that I think this is that old people have more knowledge about their country, Older people have lived in a certain place which they have more to think about what is best for their people, according to google older people have greater extent of information and stability of character,” than would be needed in the more democratic House of Representatives. Therefore I believe older people are better representatives for congress.
To an extent I agree with this, however younger people are still living in these local or global issues, so I believe that they should not be closed off to these issues as these younger people will need to be educated for the future. Moreover, I believe that their voices should be heard too, because they have a future ahead of them that could involve similar situations in the world.
To be very honest about my opinion, I would like younger individuals to lead the world. Many argue that older politicians should lead as they are already embodied with the wisdom and knowledge they have but when one views the real picture, in general, most older individuals are not actually interested in solving problems but accept life as it is. On the other hand, we have younger individuals already solving world problems through campaigns and various entrepreneurial ventures, if such individuals become world leaders I believe they would really put their heart and soul towards solving the problems around them. Young people are the ones who are actually facing the struggles of the world and are truly passionate to solve these problems, they are creative, more energetic, quick thinkers and fueled with passion and enthusiasm. Thus, my opinion prevails, "The world can be a better place if led by young and enthusiastic leaders".
young people should be lawmakers since they understand what face more than the old.
since this will expose them to dealing will socio-economical issues affecting them. When they participate in making laws, they will tend to make laws that affect them equally.
I think the leader should be of moderate age (40-55) or vise versa.
because old people you know i would say don't understand the modern era very well they think that the thing which happen in their past was so good rather than this . Sometimes they can't understand the technology very well they just saw their negative aspects. Although this is not q bad thing but they should also not neglect their benefits .
Young youth should also not be a leader beacuse firstly mostly young people are emotional and secondly they dont have much experience
I think adult people should be the leader because they have enough experience,can understand the technology and also the problem of young people ..
There is nothing bad with the rule of old men. The experience they gained from their political career gives them enough talent to run the government matters prudently. But it will be better if they train the next generation for as an investment for the future.
In the same way, there is nothing bad with young people if they got an opportunity to be at the helm of affairs if they are diligent and intelligent.
There should be no age limit to be a president provided one is sound enough physically and mentally.
It is said to be believed that the young people of our generation are more stronger, smarter cause of technological help.
having old people in government is not bad but where it becomes a problem is where the government are fully made up of older people and older have a higher rate of having health issues cause of old age or complications. And the older ones have a lot to think about like family and the country's wellbeing.
But for the young ones we are able to rule and make decision that affect the present society, and since old ones have the olden day mindset it affect the generation of youths we are growing this day cause it assumed to be a 21st century world where things are done differently and we definitely cant have an old person achieving that for us
Although it could be argued that younger people have less experience with the world, their future lives are essentially dependent on politics. Therefore, I believe that younger people should be able to voice their opinions more in the politics world. However, I do not think it would be beneficial for governments with both younger and older politicians because I think that it would increase conflict and opposing opinions. Over time I predict that there will be a natural increase in younger politicians, while over the past few years younger people's voices have been more accepted and have actually been seen to have an impact; for example, Greta Thunberg.
Having a old or much aged government might not be the worst at all, but obviously if you are going to compare them with the younger one, I must say younger seems much more suitable for the development of the nation . Talking about the older government, ofcourse they are the most experienced one, but I guess younger one are much more creative and also bring up with new ideas and have a tons of new experiments for the better constructions and develop in the nation. Young people are able to make decisions from the perspective of everyone in a state. Their decisions will encompass the thoughts of both young and old in a state. It is a well-known fact that the youth of any country is a great asset. They are indeed the future of the country and represent it at every level. The role of Youth in nation-building or development is very important because the development of any nation lies in the future generation.Also they have the ability to learn and adapt to the environment. Similarly, they are willing to learn and act on it as well to achieve their goals. Our youth can bring social reform and improvement in society. We cannot make do without the youth of a country. As “The power of youth is the common wealth for the entire world'', I guess younger one are best to be the leaders of the nation
My top pick is that I'm divided on whether it's a good idea to have younger or older people in charge of us. It is good to have seniors because they have experience and may be able to think more carefully about their decisions. However, this can also be a bad thing because their experience may cause them to look at things a certain way and they may not be able to think from all points of view. Young people will be useful to the government because they may be less biased in their way of thinking because they have less experience. However, they may not be as good as the authorities because they lack experience and may not understand well that there are multiple ways to solve problems, and the old governments may have a lot of experience and knowledge.
I am perplexed about this question as I think that young people and old people both have good reasons for being a fair and trustworthy government. One one side, young people can be creative and open minded about our future. I think they will understand people more and not just go by 'tradition' like a more old person might do. Back in the days, girls were not treated equally to boys; I think an older government may still think that girls are not as worthy as males and won't be fair to his people. Despite these thoughts, an older person will be more wise and mature and can find good solutions to problems.
I think that the right age for a government would be around 40 or 50 as these are ages when you are in the middle- you aren't old or young.
To be honest, I think that the best thing is if people compromise and choose two governments, an old one and a young one as they can use their powers together to rule over a happy place.
When the government is made up of elderly people, it makes the political community benefit from their experience, as they have lived through many experiences in their lives, and this is a positive thing, but the negative lies in their failure to keep up with developments in society as a whole because the knowledge of young people and their society has changed from before, while if the government is composed From young people, there will be a constant keeping up with the development through the social media and going down to the ground and closely following the events of society, but the negativity in the youth government is the lack of experience in this field so they will not be able to understand those who are older, and in my opinion the government consisting of Young people and the elderly is the best solution, as in that young people benefit from the experience of the elderly and the elderly benefit from the development of young minds through the social networking site and others.
I personally think there is no perfect age for a president. Different people bring different qualities and therefore old or not, I believe the most important attribute in being a president is genuineness. To trust and respect your country and think about how we move forward as one.
I cannot decide between young leaders or old leaders simply because they each have their advantages and disadvantages. Young leaders are good because they have imaginative minds and they have the skills and logical reasoning to bring those imaginations to reality, they also lead by pulling everybody on board while the old leaders lead by pulling. But on the other hand, they lack experience. If they are faced with some challenges, they may not know how to tackle them. Old leaders are very experienced in most of their doings and they are also good at making people do their will which most a times is an advantage to the country. Their main disadvantage is their resistance to change. They feel that the old ways of doing things are the best.
The best benefit of having a government made up of old people is that they have passed through many systems and many governments, and they have taken note of the merits and downsides of those governments and will know how to tackle such faults and build on their mistakes and work on the unfinished projects that were left by their predecessors. Even with the experience of such leaders, one of their faults is their inability to adapt to new advancements whether technological or political, they are very unwilling and sometimes unable to adopt those new things because they believe it will not be in accordance with their method of governing.
having a government of young people is not bad at all because they come with all the technological and economic advancements and strategies to lift the economy of a nation. They also give an impression of hope to the younger ones that there is hope for them in governance and they can lead a nation even if they are not experienced like the older ones. The major downside of having a government comprised of young people is the fact that they may not know how the system works and may set unachievable goals and very abstract policies and this may cause a country to go back to square one because of the inexperience of their leaders.
i don't think that there is any age that is just right for any leader but as long as the individual has the right experience and innovation, the country will flourish.
I think that having either older or younger lawmakers has both its ups and down. Having an older lawmaker means that they can handle more stress and are used to situations where lawmakers are usually in. On the other hand younger lawmakers are more open minded and have a better understanding of newer things. I think there should be a good mix of younger and older lawmakers so that one is not more powerful than the other. As much as i would like there to be more younger lawmakers currently the government is run by people as old as your grandparents.
Great points @discreet_walrus! You've showed good understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of both young and old lawmakers.
Our society values the experience and wisdom of old people more than anything else. However, it has downsides as well. If our mindsets our stuck in the past and we keep following old wisdom and traditions, we will never be able to progress by using new ideas. Following old wisdom and ancient traditions is important. However, it is the youth of a country that exposes it to new and progressive ideas. Youth is the most important asset of the country and must be acknowledged due to the future potential of their ideas. In these modern times and the modern ideals that come along with it, we need to step up and empower our youth for a secure and progressive future because the present of the country may be the old and wise politicians but the future rests in the hands of the youth of the country.
I believe government should consist of both young and old people. Young people have the ideas and old people have the experience to execute those ideas. A combination of both is what we need. Posts like Ministry of Information Technology or Ministry of Education which require modern thinking should be given to young people while posts like Ministry of Defense or Ministry of Finance which requires more experience and the ability to execute should be given to old people.
What might the good things be about having a government made up of older people? The good thing about having an older government is that older people are mature and they have more wisdom, But on the other hand if younger people where in control of that type of stuff then they most likely would not know what they were doing and they would be making bad choices and it could ruin our economy. What might the good things be about having a government made up of younger people? The good thing about the younger governs is that they have good memories and they can make good rules. What’s the perfect age for a president? Why? The perfect age for a president is 35 years. The reason why you have to be 35 years old to be a president is because you need to have experience, and you might be too young.
The most obvious benefit of an aging population is that more people will enjoy long lifespans, as access to proper housing, food, and healthcare continues to increase across the board.
The good thing about having younger people in goverment is that they are able to gain information about their options and rights,and also develop decision-making skills, develop an understanding of decision processes, and gain a sense of control in these processes.
The bad thing about government made up of young people might be that politics is typically regarded as a space for politically experienced men, and most young people dont have an idea about politics and young people are systematically marginalized because of their young age, limited opportunities, and projected lack of experience.
When asked about the ideal age for a president, most Democrats say they prefer someone in their 40s through their 60s, with nearly half (47%) saying the best age for a president is “in their 50s. And two of the Democratic Party’s best-known candidates, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, are in their 70s, yet only 3% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents say this is the best age range for a president. And just 6% say it would be ideal for a president to be in their 30s.
OLDER OR YOUNGER LAWMAKERS?
In my opinion, I want to start by asking why not both? For me I say a country should have both older and younger law makers because the older lawmakers have experience and can be able to think of the decisions that are made more carefully and finally come up with the final and best decision and also let's not forget that wisdom comes with age and the older people are wiser and they can be able to look at situations in many angles and finally come up with a solution. Then the younger lawmakers have the fresh brains and minds that can help come up with many ideas and it won't be difficult for them to come up with ideas to help the people because these younger lawmakers know this generation more than the older lawmakers. Then can come up with good decisions though at times they get carried away with the power they have and make slight mistakes.
But I believe that if we have a government that is balanced of both older lawmakers, with the experience wisdom and ability for the tobt think of their decisions more carefully and the the younger lawmakers, with the fresh brains and minds to come up with good ideas and this will be of a very good benefit to the country because the older lawmakers will guide the younger lawmakers while making their decisions so that they won't make those slight mistakes and the the older lawmakers will have a very good and reliable source of ideas which are the younger lawmakers. The country will have less problems and will get to develop faster with the leaders we have in place.
I agree because I equally believe that if the old and young law makers unite to form one body that makes laws,it will not only promote fairness and inclusion but also brings people to trust in their leadership.Here is what I mean,If a board consisting of the two parties old and young lawmakers that means that both age brackets will be represented well and we won't have cases of the the youth neglected or the olden neglected,it will be balanced because both parties sit and decide in favour of both the people there representing,this way laws made shall include everyone not secluding any age bracket.I also believe with such a lawmaking council, people will trust its decisions as they are the best for them because they all know that they are equally represented.Unfortunatey the youth or young people are at times denied to make political statements or go political as they think that they cannot be leaders yet in the actual sense the youth just need the guidance like idealistic song has said,the grownups should just guide the young people to make the right decisions instead of disengaging them because even a child needs to learn from his older parents the way to conduct himself.The young should be taken care of and guided properly so as they don't make rush decisions and it's the duty of the old and experienced law makers to teach the young lads how to fly.
All in all,I support the idea of both old and young lawmakers coming together as one to give a better service to the country.
Any age over 35 so long as he/she has been a resident for the last 14 years. It is the experience the candidate brings to the table. He/she must have credentials that include leadership of a significant enterprise. People from private industry typically can demonstrate leadership and fiscal experience, which is a must. That person should also demonstrate understanding the generational issues that permeate our society. Age is not a factor in my book. But the person I envision would likely have time to demonstrate appropriate qualities around forty-five and beyond.
