Voting and Peace

I believe that most people in Society are not politically informed because simply they just think that it is a issue that is boring and not that important. Especially since a lot of these networks are mainly based with their own genre of Ideas that you can hear over and over again. I know I get bored most of the time I attempt to watch a television network that mostly talks about Ideas that are from the same group of people mostly. Now what most of the people are missing from their lives is the ability to go out on their own figure out what they care about and what they want to vote for. Whether it is that that they believe in the ability for the Government to tax the people more or whether they believe that they should increase spending in education. The demand for votes is always up but the common folk like you and me never figure out what we want. So if you don’t know about what you want t vote for, why would you vote. And if you did then what were you really voting for. Now I can tell you how this happens. In my family was a large family that is Hispanic. My step-mom is from Mexico and my dad is born from a dad who is also from there. The only people that vote in my family that are eligible to vote are only me my brother and my dad who went to college and is well educated. The rest of my family along with uncles and cousins are not registered to vote or they just don’t vote period. Now the way I belief this happens is because I believe that education and family background has a big part in this. With my grandfather being form Mexico he really doesn’t care about the government and he really doesn’t read the news paper and even read and speak the English language. Now the case with the rest of the family is that they really don’t care just like my grandfather and they non-purposely instill the same thing into my cousins also. And then you could add that when you look at the big picture about three forth’s of them dropped out of college and the rest just have their high school degree so they didn’t really have the chance to learn about things from classes like political science which teaches them about how country works or how people get elected and what’s the difference between conservative and liberal thinking. So I believe that the family background and education do have a big reason for a lot of the people out there not voting in elections around the country and the world. Now the way I think this will affect peace around the world does that with many people not know the difference between Ideas and morals of many of these candidatures is that they will vote for whoever has the ability to wow them or appeal to their senses more. To me it’s just like a advertising campaign for a food company like a McDonalds or a Hershey’s company. They will try to make people vote for them by promising them something outrageous or just because he’s a certain race. Another problem that resides it that people that vote and know why their voting for them can be for reasons that are negative for the country like with Sudan Hussein. I believe he won a election and then the history of Iraq is changed forever as we know it. So when people don’t vote they don’t know what the consequences are. Because I believe that if everybody that was eligible to vote, were educated and knew what they were voting for. Every single election in history may have been different in result because they had the ability to vote and used there working mind in doing so. So when I look at people that don’t vote o people that vote and vote for people for the wrong reasons I think to myself. Why does that person even live in this country? Because I believe that is the person’s right and duty to vote in every election that they can because I believe that with the inability for voter turnout many people around the country and the world are the wrong people elected. And if we have the wrong people elected then we have the things happening and if the wrong things are happening then there is no peace and tranquility.
