Voting in canada should not become a law
Voting in canada should not become legal. Voting in canada is a privilege and one of the most important privileges is, if you don't feel as if you dont believe in any of the parties beliefs then you should have the choice to skip the vote.
Voting in australia for example is mandatory. At times they get the odd ballot that has a random person or another box that they create themselves because they don't believe in any of the parties theories. For this reason i think voting should not be mandatory because if people don't agree and if people don't like any of the parties they should have the choice to not waste their tame and vote.
All in all, voting should not become mandatory. Not all people are always going to agree with the choices or ideas of the parties. But at the same time I do believe it is important to get an accurate vote. Usually BC gets around 60 percent of their population voting. This is a problem but i feel as if it can be fixed in other ways. I feel as if in socials 11 the curriculum should include a large section on all the different parties to promote the parties and to teach the new and young people, ("the future") what each party believes in.
Alex, from reading your post I know exactly where you stand and what your point of view is. I think that you have done a good job of getting one side of the main points down for others to read. One suggestion that you may want to use is to expand further to the other side of the argument. In order to give the reader a clear mind and let them make their choice on where they stand, they must be informed. Also, by looking into the other side of the argument and touching on that, you will also be farther informed on the topic yourself. Secondly, another suggestion I have is that you include our class discussion ideas within your own points. Did something we talk about in class persuade your opinion to take this position? That is a starter question that could be answered within your own opinion.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you have done a nice job on including an example within your post about Australia and how voting there is mandatory. One way to enhance you example even farther is to integrate the article where you found this information. That way, the reader would have the option of reading further into the subject if they chose to do so. Overall your post shows good effort and with further development it will be even better.
