age majority

In class we discussed if our government should lower age majority and I think we should.

I really don’t see a point to age limit for example I don’t see the difference between me being able to vote now or me able to vote a couple years ago. There is only some teenagers that know a lot about Canadian government, personally I don’t know anything about the Canadian government I just found out who our prime minister was last semester. Id rather vote in America because their government is more interesting for me and I know a lot more about the American government than Canadian. Some tweens know more about the Canadian government than teenagers or people that are able to vote.

The age limit for drinking makes no sense to me at all because no matter your age if you really want to drink there is so many ways that you can get that drink with out going to the store. I also don’t see how at 18 I am not major enough to drink but one year later my majority grows so much that I should be allowed to drink. But at 18 I can go to war but am still not allowed to drink or smoke cigarettes.

The only thing that should stay the same for age is crime. Even though if a teen, tween or child commits a crime and some might know what they were doing they should still be committed for the age because they could change by the time they come of age and their record will go away. The only time the crime age should not matter is when the crime is extremely serious.

To conclude I don’t think that age limit is necessary in our country for anything really.
