With the development of society, more and more people pay more attention to the age of voting rights. In their mind, those young people who are less than 18 years old are not mature mentally, and they can not undertake responsibilities. Therefore, they think that the voting age should be changed from 18 to 21.
In my opinion, the voting age should not be changed from 18 to 21. It is not meaningful to say that the people who are less than 18 have no right to vote by low. Because many of the 34 – year – old, even 56 – year- old people are not mature as the 18 years old people when they voting. What’s more, we should not discuss the voting affairs base on the maturity of people, because the voting is the civil rights, and all the people should have this kind of rights when they attain legal age. To know the maturity of a person’s mind, we should look into them through rigorous medical, psychological and even anthropological survey.
In addition, in most people’s opinion, the younger is immature than the older. Therefore, in the same way, those people who are older than 18 think that the people who are less than 18 are immature. So, it’s hard for the older people to agree with the younger people that the younger is mature.
The following evidence can reflect the thinking of the ordinary people, many people look the age of 18 as the responsible age. For example, the 18 years old people can take the driver’s license, the 18 years old people can by the adult videos and so on.
In society, there are many rules to limit the age in order to protect the persons concerned and the public. The people who are less than 18 are not allowed in many places. Therefore, in my opinion, it’s very sensible to look the 18 years old persons as the people who can undertake the responsibilities for themselves and country, In a word, there is no need to change the voting age from 18 to 21.
