Civic Duties

In my own views I feel that my civic duties as an emerging adult are going to become part o my life. Like for example paying my taxes to the federal government every year is going to be costly. Another of one of my civic duties that I’m going to have as I emerge as an adult will be to vote, whether it is to vote for the next major of my city who will make the city laws, to who will be the next governor of California who will create the state laws. And vote who will represent our state in congress by voting the person I want to be senator. And even vote for which person will be the next president of the United States of America and represent our country in world events where other world leaders would be. Another civic duty that I will have would be is to support our troops during a war, even if I don’t support the war. Also what I would owe to the community is to be a good citizen to others, and to follow the community rules and laws. And as I emerge as an adult I would owe the state and nation, to pay my taxes and use my civic duties to vote on laws, propositions that will influence this state and nation. Another thing that I would owe the state and nation is to vote for the next or current senators, majors, governors, and even the president of the United States of America who will influence this state and nation for years to come. I am also interested in contributing my services to the nation by probably joining one of the branches of the army.

Compulsory Service

In my own personal opinion I do not believe .hat 18 year olds should serve 2 years of compulsory service, such as the military or the Peace Corps. I believe that 18 year olds should have the choice to serve 2 years of compulsory service. My reasons are because 18 years should not be forced to serve if they don’t want to. Only 18 year olds who want to serve in the military or Peace Corps should serve. But if young adults don’t want to then they shouldn’t have to do it. Because this is the United States of America, were everyone has their choice to do whatever they want that is legal. For example, joining an organization like a union for experienced workers, or a club for men with mustaches, or any other type of organization. Another reason why I think this is because this isn’t the 1900’s where when a person becomes 18 they have to serve in the military against their chose, and if they didn’t do their service they would be punished under law. These days 18 year olds should have the choice to join the military or Peace Corps. That is why I myself should have the choice to join the military or Peace Corps when I turn 18 years old, I shouldn’t be forced against my own will. Besides I have been deciding whether to join the military when I graduate this year from my high school, but the probability is that I am just going to go to a community college and transfer a year or two later to a university or college. So that’s my opinion whether 18 year olds should join the military or peace corps as a requirement.

Voting Counts

Voting is one of the most important things people can do as a citizen of the United States of America. And if one of my friends wouldn’t want to vote for some reason that they have I would try and convince them. I would tell them “what’s wrong with you, you have the privilege to create history” “and you’re going to waste it by not voting”. You can use this privilege that you have to choose your governors, who can represent your state and control what goes on with your state for a few years. I would also tell them that they can vote to choose which person they would want to become their mayor for their town or city. They can even vote for the man or woman to represent them in congress by voting for which person to become a senator of their state. Also, that they can choose the person who gets to have the highest ranked office in our country this is being the president. And that the person that they voted for to become president would represent our country during world events like the G8 or G20 and to change or create laws that they see in their own views. And that they can choose on which laws can get passed in their state. If my friend wouldn’t vote I would also tell him then that they shouldn’t complain on the consequences that they don’t vote for the propositions that would be put on the ballot. Like if should animals that are going to be turned to food like chickens, should be caged in small cages or large ones. And if these animals should be free ranged or caged at all. That is what I would tell my friend if they decided not to vote, just because they didn’t want to.
