the ethical Delema

my team is with Jeremy S , Vincent M , and Francois Marier

the debate that the team will chose is the age of voting in the society because this is very serious act for the society to vote for the future of the country. Here in Canada the age of voting is 18years old should it be more or less because is the group  of students or adults are enough responsible or mature for something that is normal to do. Does voting prove that society change. Having the age at 18 is when you are and adults and more aware of the problems in the society. having the age limit for voting younger the society is less mature but can prove that a simple decision can revel how you are. Having the age over 18 years old for voting in all the country may provoke more seriousness and you will know more about politics.

the project was well advances because I started the debate.

my opinion on the age of voting here in Canada
To me the age of voting in Canada is to young because they don’t have the understanding of the politics and some wont care. But this is a generalization, some will say to leave it at 18 because they follow the politics and are able to describe what thing means. According to us, at the age of 18 more than half of 18 year olds aren’t aware of the choice they are making since they are not really into the politics. Of course some them know a little about it but not enough of them to keep the age of vote at 18.

Plus having the age at 18 most of them wont go because they are at school and say they do not have time because they work. Voting at 18 years old dose not let you the time to figure out the impact it has in the future. Putting the age of voting younger like at 16 years old will make a population that is undecided and young unconscious.
Having the age of voting much older will bring more conciseness and good decision. having it older they are more responsible

As a group we decided to do a debate because the opinion is more open to others.

FRANCOIS- As we know now the age of voting in Canada is 18 years old and i find it young because in the States there age of voting is at 21 and this age I personally find it better because your action are better and there brain is more mature. I think having the age of voting at 18 makes you undecided and not ready. Plus this group have so many to think of.  As the news goes the society think that putting the age of voting at 16 will make them more mature and ready to take big decision and may not be as confident and know the knowledge about politics but this is not a good idea because they are not fully develop and consious. Canada should to the same as in the states for the age of voting because the society at this age may fully understand how politics woks and the complication behind it, because some may have tooking politics cources. But decreasing

Lowering the Minimum Voting Age from 18 to 16 (Updated)

Canadian citizens over the age of 18 have the right to vote, and that right extends for the rest of a citizen's life. Some would like to see that threshold lowered to 16, arguing 16-year-olds will have to live longer with the decisions made by contemporary politicians and so they should be able to exercise some power over those decisions.
In 2005,  Ontario Liberal MP Mark Holland tabled a bill that would lower the voting age for federal elections in Canada to 16, but keep the minimum age of candidates at 18; the bill received support from more than 20 MPs across party lines, but was not passed. The issue has come up several times since, both at the provincial level (Liberal leadership candidates Mike de Jong and Christy Clark both advocated the move in 2010) and federally. Similar debates have also raged in the European Union and other parts of the world.
The arguments for lowering the voting age tend to focus on what other rights and responsibilities are bestowed upon teenagers at age 16: they can consent to sex, they can drive a vehicle, and so on. Further, the waining turnout for both federal and provincial elections suggests some sort of radical change is needed to renew interest in electoral matters, and giving teens the ability to vote is one avenue to do so.
On the other hand, studies have shown that, at 16, teens' brains have not fully developed - the major driver behind adults (those over 18) being treated more harshly by the judicial system than minors, even for the same crimes. Should, then, 16-year-olds be entrusted to fully understand candidates' platforms?
