Vote is one of the most democratic actions that exist in the present and it is our responsibility as citizens to state our preferences and choices through the vote.
Vote?
The Cambridge Dictionary define this
word as: “to express your choice or opinion, especially by officially
writing a mark on a paper or by raising your hand or speaking in a meeting”.
Why the Importance of Voting?
Well… Many decades ago, not everyone had could vote
because it was not a right, it was a privilege. Less than 10% of the society were
able to vote. Because of this, the population was divided in social classes, which
still exist until today. Equality became just a dream, an utopia. when the democracy’s
system and the Human Rights grow into the people, the idea of equality took strength.
What’s Up Today?
Today we still suffer the injustices of the social
classes, but at least with the new system, citizens (over 18 years old in Chile)
can vote. But sadly, a lot of persons do not give importance to this action,
maybe today is a right, however, not always was like that.
In conclusion, voting is an important responsibility. People fought for years so future generations can be part of a system and in one of the most powerful activities that democracy could offer, and we must fulfil it.
I share a lot with your thoughts, Mariana.
ReplyDeleteI also believe that the act of voting is a responsibility and a great duty of every citizen. You explained that a long time ago only a minority was able to exercise this right (nowadays). However, not so many years ago, unfortunately in Chile this fundamental right for a democracy was denied and the opinion of the majority was not taken into account. This should serve as a lesson for the present, and thus value the importance of the right to express, through the vote, each of our opinions.
Good post, Mariana, best regards!
