Pro/Con Articles "Young Voters-Should the Voting Age Be Lowered to 16: Pro"by Rob Richie, Executive Director of the FairVote Center for Voting and Democracy "Young Voters-Should the Voting Age Be Lowered to 16: Con"by Lou Manza, Psychology Professor at Lebanon Valley College par. 1Our nation is overdue for a serious conversation about the right to vote. We rightly honor the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, but without an explicit right to vote in the Constitution, we too often fail to bring sufficient rigor to protecting voting rights. par. 2We have erratic state and local standards for running national elections. Our voter registration rolls miss nearly a third of eligible voters and are rife with errors. We deny full voting rights to more than 8 million citizens who have felony convictions or who live in Washington, D.C., or the territories. And unlike in many nations, only a few cities allow legal immigrants to vote in local elections. par. 3The nation's single-largest disenfranchised group is American citizens under 18. It's time to join other nations in rethinking the voting age. In Scotland, 16-year-olds voted in the 2014 referendum on independence. After so many young people seriously engaged on the issue, lawmakers from all parties unanimously voted to permanently lower the voting age, joining nations like Argentina, Austria and Brazil. par. 4The 26th Amendment prohibits a state from restricting anyone age 18 or older from voting, but does not establish a minimum voting age. Two Maryland cities in suburban Washington—Hyattsville and Takoma Park—have extended voting rights for municipal elections to 16-year-olds, and at least 14 states allow 17-year-olds to vote in all state and federal primaries if they will be 18 by the time of the general election. par. 5Research shows 16-year-old voters make informed decisions and will participate in relatively high numbers. Allowing 16- and 17-year-olds to vote would enable them to vote before leaving home, help establish a lifelong habit and go hand-in-hand with new rights and responsibilities that society extends to 16-year-olds, such as paying taxes and being able to marry. par. 6Expect widespread action on lowering the voting age in the coming years, starting in cities. The right to vote always warrants a close look—and our fullest commitment. par. 1As with other age-restricted activities, such as driving or military service, it can be difficult to decide where to draw the line on the right to vote. While I'm confident some 16-year-olds would likely take voting seriously, many others probably would not, or even could not, as a result of how brains develop. par. 2One reason society restricts certain behaviors to adults concerns how neural maturation allows individuals to reason effectively. This skill relies on one's ability to suppress emotions when making decisions requiring data-based analyses. As a group, teenagers tend not to fare as well with this compared to adults. par. 3Much of our capacity for informed decision-making hinges on having a well-developed pre-frontal cortex (PFC). This brain region, when functioning optimally, allows us to suppress information influenced by emotions and focus on objective data for a given situation. Adults can then reach a more reasoned conclusion than might be possible without the ability to control their emotions. But in a teenagers-vs.-adults scenario, research shows that PFCs tend not to reach full maturity until the mid-20s, making younger individuals more susceptible to bad decisions. par. 4Since casting a ballot in any local, state or national election is a very serious decision with the potential to impact society as a whole, we should do all we can to ensure that those who bear the responsibility for voting have the best likelihood of making a reasoned, and not emotional, decision. This can be accomplished in various ways, but restricting people younger than 18 from going to the polls is one effective option. par. 5Indeed, one could argue that based on biological evidence we should raise the voting age, since 18-year-olds, while possessing better-developed PFCs than younger peers, still are not as equipped as older adults to make informed choices relative to their voting habits. par. 6Much of the pressure behind the 26th Amendment, which lowered the voting age to 18, grew out of the fact that the age at which individuals could be drafted to serve in Vietnam had been lowered to 18, yet those individuals had no say in the officials or policies that sent them there. It's a valid argument, but perhaps the draft age, and not the voting age, was the figure that was out of line. But that's an argument for another day. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Topic: Using the above-noted articles, “Young Voters-Should the Voting Age Be Lowered to 16: Pro” and "Young Voters-Should the Voting Age Be Lowered to 16: Con,” as reference sources, write an essay in which you analyze each author’s use of one rhetorical tool or rhetorical appeal to achieve his or her specific purpose.

Fоr yоur finаl exаminаtiоn, you should write a cohesive, well-developed essay that fully addresses the essay prompt. Please closely read the following CQ Researcher articles (published July 26, 2013 (volume 23, issue 27)) and then the prompt below. Pro/Con Articles "Women and Work-Are Women Better Off Than They Were 50 Years Ago: Pro"by Eleanor Smeal, Former President of the National Organization for Women "Women and Work-Are Women Better Off Than They Were 50 Years Ago: Con"by Phyllis Schlafly, Founder and President of Eagle Forum par. 1Of course American women are better off today than 50 years ago! As a proud feminist activist for more than 40 years, I don't claim to be an impartial observer. Although inequities remain and the struggle is far from over, women's advancements are revolutionary. par. 2In education, women have soared, both academically and athletically. In the 1960s women comprised a third of students enrolled in college, and some 60 percent never graduated. When I first began speaking for equality, women made up just 3 percent of the lawyers and 8 percent of the medical doctors. Feminists fought restrictive quotas that limited the number of women entering not only professional schools, but college itself. We were taunted with the ditty, “women don't want to be doctors or lawyers, they want to marry them.” par. 3Today such taunts are gone. Women are some 57 percent of college graduates and a majority of medical and law students. Women earn some 60 percent of the master's degrees and 52 percent of the doctorates. par. 4In 1963 women were just 20 percent of the paid workforce; today we are nearly half. Women-owned businesses now employ more people than Fortune 500 companies combined. Women did not have equal credit opportunities until 1975, and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act did not pass until 1978. Fifty years ago a woman could be fired if she became pregnant. This was a typical fate for pregnant teachers, flight attendants and many more. Today's laws prohibit this practice. par. 5Advances in birth control and abortion, and access to them, have improved women's health, economic well-being and educational opportunities. Women's longevity and maternal health have increased, while infant mortality and morbidity have decreased. par. 6Yes, the world is changing for women. Today the movement is worldwide. The need is still great, but the vision, hope and odds for winning women's equality have never been better. par. 1Whether women are better off today depends on what the goals in life are: to be rich, to be important, to achieve the aims of feminism, or to be happy. Women will have different answers. But because the trigger for this question is the 50th anniversary of the feminist movement, perhaps we should answer in that context. par. 2The goal of the women's liberation movement, as it labeled itself when it was launched in 1963 by Betty Friedan's book The Feminine Mystique, was to move all fulltime homemakers out of their homes and into the labor force. This was not based on any economic argument; the feminist rationale was that the home was a “comfortable concentration camp” to which wives and mothers were confined by the patriarchy. As Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote in her book Sex Bias in the U.S. Code, “the concept of husband-breadwinner and wife-homemaker must be eliminated from the Code to reflect the equality principle.” par. 3The separation of marriage from a recognition of the complementary roles of mother and father, plus the easy divorce laws, brought about the unfortunate separation of babies from marriage. So now 41 percent of births in the United States are illegitimate. Generous federal handouts give women an incentive to look to Big Brother for financial support instead of to husbands and fathers. par. 4A National Bureau of Economic Research working paper by University of Pennsylvania economists reported that women's happiness has declined measurably since 1970. One theory advanced by the authors is that the feminist movement “raised women's expectations” (in other words, sold them a bill of goods), making them feel inadequate when they fail to have it all. par. 5Their principal problem was that they took women's studies courses in college where they learned to plan a career in the workplace without any space or time for marriage or babies, at least until the women are over age 40 and their window of opportunity has closed. So they don't have the companionship of a husband in their senior years or grandchildren to provide a reach into the future. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Topic: Using the above-noted articles, “Women and Work-Are Women Better Off Than They Were 50 Years Ago: Pro” and "Women and Work-Are Women Better Off Than They Were 50 Years Ago: Con,” as reference sources, write an essay in which you analyze each author’s use of one rhetorical tool or rhetorical appeal to achieve his or her specific purpose.
