People Want Change

Some people may think, “well I’m just one person, my vote or debate won’t be what changes the world”. But that’s the problem, those people could not be more wrong about where they stand on the issue. Just one person, someone who truly believes in taking a stand for their community, is all it takes to gather more people to create an even bigger voice. But that is something that many people just don’t understand, they think that they can not make a change by themselves so they just decide to not do anything about the problem. In some cases they may be right, one person cannot always get everything that they want in the world, but if they don’t try they may end up with nothing. I think that people need to realize that if they would just put in the effort and really try to make a change in their community, they could do it.

People who choose not to vote when there are elections may be some of the biggest downfalls of their communities. Those are they people who just decide to sit back and let everything play out instead of voicing their opinion and voting for what they believe in. Maybe they just don’t think that their vote matters, or maybe they just don’t understand how important these elections can really be. Either way, they need to wake up and realize that their community needs them to voice their opinions, it needs someone who will stand up for everyone and start a movement to make a change. It’s not even about their communities all the time either, voting is something that a person should do for themselves because when you become a citizen, voting is one of the most powerful ways that you can make an impact and a difference for your community. Every single person in the world has an opinion or believes in something when it comes down to it, but those people need to stop shying away from their opportunities and let their voices be heard.

There are several other issues that occur in a community where some people just decide to sit back and do nothing to help. For example, it seems like every other day there are sections on the news where there is a topic that is being debated over or discussed. Many people may see this on the news and may think to themselves, “ I really agree with what those people are protesting for but I don’t want to waste my time going to help the case”. These people need to realize that it would not be a waste of their time, this is something that could really change their community and they should go and be a part of it. Another big example of people who choose not to get involved are the people who do not participate in helping out charities. There are charities all around the world for thousands of different reasons and many people see this but they do not donate or even help out with the issue. If all people came together on these issues they could make their communities and even the world a better place to live in for everybody because they could work together to fix the issues.
