Voting

I agree that voting can help strengthen citizenship to a certain extent. Voting may mean that you educate yourself on the current politics and issues going on in our country. However, it also might mean that you are just voting to vote. Many people who claim themselves to be Republicans or Democrats are not educated when it comes time to vote, but they vote for their part despite the policies they may not know about. If you are truly educated and vote for the candidate that you really support then I believe it does help strengthen your citizenship because you are more involved in society. I realize that some may not agree with the point I have made. By trying to understand this from a different view point, I have realized that voting is a part of being a citizen no matter if you are fully educated in politics or if you just feel the need to vote.
