1. Attention Step
Have you ever been to polls? In Japan, when we become 20 years old, we are
looked as an adult and gets the voting right.
Recently, young people’s attention to politics and the rate of young
people going to polls are decreasing, and it’s often discussed as a problem.
2. Need Step
The election is different from to buy
products. If you don’t buy a product,
the producer improves it to sell you.
However, if you don’t go voting, the politics will never improve. I want you to remember this.
Also, it’s natural for us that we get the
voting right when we become 20 years old, but, in Japan, it started in
1945. So, to get the voting right is
unnatural before then. Then, society has
changed from then. Nowadays, Japanese
live in aging society and declining birth rate is occurred, too. They make it difficult to reflect young
people’s opinion on politic. But, we
should reflect it on our society because young people will shoulder the future
of Japan.
There are three problems to solve. They are to brow young people’s attention to
politic, to increase the rate of young people going to polls, and to reflect
young people’s opinions on politic.
3. Satisfaction
Step
Then, how can we solve them? I propose you to lower the voting age from 20
to 18.
4. Visualization
Step
18 years old has some big means in Japanese
educational sequences. In 18 years old,
almost people graduate high school and start to work or to go to
university. It means the situation of
almost all people change when they become 18 years old. To get voting right with changing situation
motivates us more than to get it in 20 years without changing situation. With the motivation, young people will talk
about election, concern about politics, and go voting.
5. Action Step
So far, do you understand that it is important
to lower the voting age to18? In
addition, we understand that the situation of Japanese election, especially
around young people, is not good. First
of all, we are over 20 years old and let’s go voting.
