ARGUMENTS in favor of lowering voting age from 21 to 18 years?
Asked by Wiki User
The main argument for giving the vote to 18 year olds was that if an 18 year old was old enough to be drafted into the military and die for his country, then he was old enough to vote.
Another argument for lowering the voting age can be summarised by the following quote:
"No taxation without representation"
In the US you can legally leave school at 16 years of age, start work and therefore pay tax. As such it would not be unreasonable to expect to have some say in how your tax money was spent. Therefore it could be argued that if you are old enough to fund government, you are old enough to chose who should run it and how your tax money is spent and hence should be allowed to vote.

What are the effects of rapid urbanization in Mexico City?
Asked by Wiki User
It all began in the 1950's when rural migration into the city caused a rise in population from 3 million in 1950 to 5.1 million in 1960 to 8.7 million in 1970. Nowadays it has a population of over 21.16 million.
Rural migration into the city and construction of many settlements were made on an unordered fashion; many coloniasor boroughs were settled almost overnight, so basic services such as electricity, water, social and security were not available until several years later or never at all.
This lack of basic services is known as spatial inequality.
