A New Generation of Voters


Argentinian government contemplates lowering the voting age from 18 to 16 in an effort to involve a younger demographic of voters. The debate on whether or not to go through with this action calls upon several perspectives as to why or why not it would be beneficial. This article does a good job of taking into account both sides of the argument, explaining the reasoning of each.  This article is interesting due to the relevance of heated political topics currently taking over the U.S. regarding the upcoming election. It makes the audience aware of governmental issues occurring elsewhere and causes a sense of reflection from these new ideas.
