Blah, blah,blah. Some people who are older say younger people, teens, and children are easily misinformed and fooled just because they are young, but that actually may be wrong.Young adults,teens, and children these days are usually well informed and aware of whats going on around the world and in their very own country,state, and city thanks to social media.In my opinion I believe that all ages may not easily, I strongly believe this because young adults, teens, and children are well aware of whats going on and they have came together,due to social media they are well aware of whats going on, and there should not be a maximum or a limit to voting because they were proved to be responsible.
First of all, young people, teens, and children are well aware of whats going on today.They have gathered and came together for I.C.E protests, Climate change strikes, Anti plastic campains, and gun reform advocancy.Some examples of this is a young women named greta thunberg. Greta thunberg started protesting at the age of 15 for which she demanded action for climate change, her protesting actions raised awareness for climate change.Young adults,teens,kids have came together before and currently for what they believe in around the world.
Additionally, thanks to social media tons of people are not very misinformed of whats going on in the world. According to google around 4.74 billion people are aware of whats going on in the world takes to social media which is 60% of the worlds population. According to google they state that research says that people 55+ are more responsible for spreading political misinformation. Young adults, teens, and children are able to spread misinformation but some people dont. Young people are usually predicted to be naive, dumb, and usually spreading misinformation just because they are younger than others, but usually they arent.
Furthermore, there should not be a limit or a maximum of voting. Young people these day are usually able reconize whats real and whats fake because of some skills they know. According to google many young people are not naive or uneducated.They are very educated and not easily influenced thanks to the fact of social media.On the other hand some people may disagree with me and say young people are too irresponsible to vote.Most likely they will vote for what they think is right and they aren easily influenced.
In conclusion i believe that there should be a limit nor a maximum for voting.I dont think that there should be an age limit and that it should be lowered due to the fact young people adults, teens and children are well aware,because of social media they are well aware, and there should not be a maximum or age limit to voting because of their responsibility. Therefore i belive there should not be a age limit.
