2. MOTIVATION
REASONS TO VOTE: TO HAVE A VOICE. AS A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED
STATES IT IS IMPORTANT TO HEAR THE WANTS AND NEEDS OF
POPULATION, VOTING IS A WAY FOR US TO BE HEARD, OR AT LEAST
THINK THAT WE ARE.
EDUCATION REFORM IS NEEDED FOR OUR YOUTH, IT WOULD HELP NOT
TO FOCUS THE CURRICULUM ON A SINGLE TEST.
MEDICAL REFORM IS A BIG ONE TODAY, MANY PEOPLE ARE UNHAPPY
WITH THE CURRENT MEDICAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL ESTABLISHMENTS.
TAXES, A TAX REFORM HAS BEEN WELL OVERDUE AND IS NECESSARY IN
OUR COUNTRY TODAY, THIS COMPLEX 74,608 PAGE FEDERAL TAX
CODE HAS MADE THINGS A LOT HARDER THAN THEY NEED TO BE.
3. THERE WERE MANY THINGS THAT I THOUGHT I KNEW ABOUT THE
GOVERNMENT HOWEVER I WAS WRONG. I LEARNED THE GORVERNMENT
SYSTEM IS A LOT MORE COMPLEX THAN I THOUGHT. THE COURT SYSTEM
ESPECIALLY HAS MANY PROCESSES THAT I WAS UNAWARE OF. I FOUND IT
INTERESTING TO LEARN MORE IN DEPTH ABOUT THE ARTICLES OF
CONFERATION AND THE CONSTITUTION, AND HOW IT HAS EVOLVED.
4. I THINK IMMIGRATION IS A HUGE ISSUE THAT WILL IMPACT AND SHAPE THE
FUTURE GENERATIONS, AS WELL AS OUR CURRENT NATION. WHEN IT
COMES DOWN TO IT, WE ARE A VERY DIVERSE NATION AND THAT IS WHAT
MAKES US GREAT. THIS LAND HAS BEEN HERE WAY BEFORE ANYONE OF US
WERE EVEN BORN, AND TO SHED BLOOD AND HATE UPON IT IS NOT
BRINGING IT ANY HONOR. WE HAVE THRIVED OVER THE YEARS AND WILL
CONTINUE TO THRIVE IF WE PUT OUR DIFFERENCES ASIDE.
5. I BELIEVE THE FIRST AMENDMENT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE, AND
THEN FOLLOWED THE SECOND. THE FIRST AMENDMENT ALLOWS US
TO FIGHT BACK IN A CIVILIZED WAY, AND MAINTAIN OUR HUMANITY.
6. HONESTLY THE BIG THING THAT STUCK WITH ME THIS SEMESTER, WAS
THE EVOLUTION OF THE GOVERNMENT OVERALL AND WHAT LEAD TO THE
CONSTITUTION. I TOOK AWAY THAT NOTHING HAPPENS OVERNIGHT, AND
THAT YOU WONT ALWAYS GET THINGS RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. I ALSO LEARNED
THAT THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT HERE AND THERE. WHAT I
MEAN BY THAT IS EVEN THOUGH THE CONSTITUTION WAS APPROVED, IT STILL
HAD TO UNDERGO CHANGES THAT MADE IT BETTER. EACH MOVEMENT, AND
COURT CASE AND AWAKENING CAUSED THE LAW TO BE CHANGED.
FROM SLAVERY TO WOMENS' RIGHTS TO SEGREGATION. IT IS FASCINATING TO
SEE DIFFERENT CULTURES COLLIDE AND INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER
NATIONWIDE. I ALSO LEARNER THAT EACH SITUATION IS DIFFERENT AND
THINGS ARENT ALWAYS SO SIMPLE. FOR EXAMPLE EACH COURT CASE WAS
A DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCE AND RESULTED IN A
DIFFERENT OUTCOME/INTERPRETATION.
