Connecticut State Project
Connecticut is a very pleasing New England state with a very interesting background. It’s located in the North East part of USA, surrounded by Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New York (known as the TriState surface). When one thinks of Connecticut they may think of Yale University, institution where one of my great grandfathers were graduated, a prestigious pulmonologist where he was specialized of Tuberculosis, his name is Theodore Learnard Badger. A quick fact that you probably didn’t know about Connecticut is that it’s called the Nutmeg State. Other symbols from this state are: Mystic Seaport, Mark Twain (house), Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Antiques Trail, Mohegan Sun Casino and the well known Science

People in this state can entry to vote by filling and complying a voter purpose. You can do your application to vote through internet or in person and in 15 days you’ll probably receive the validation. You can’t vote in more than one place. I think peoples ages 18 - 24 are least likely to vote because youth residents are lazy although in these days kids are better educated and we volunteer than our past generations. A good explication maybe that kids don’t feel integrated in the humankind. Being an adult gives you the concept in how educational institutions are and how works health services, how many bills you have to pay with the properties you own. The sad interpretation to this is puberty doesn’t see the need to poll for anyone. Other important matter to choice is your voice. Your yes or no are your words. The language is a form to speak your mind and let your sound be heard. The power are in the numbers, so one
Imagine a time where teenagers are allowed to vote on important positions or issues that could possibly define our nation’s future. The average teenager may seem responsible, but would they be able to handle the responsibility of deciding our nation’s fate in the world as well as their own. In the article, “ Takoma Park 16-year-old savors his history making moment at the polls,” Annys Shin, who writes in depth about the historical event as well as shares valued opinions of those who participated in the making of this event, exclaims that the, “ Montgomery County community [was] the nation’s first to lower the voting age from 18 to 16.” This seems to be a test to determine if the nation should lower the voting age completely. However, this test shows varying results, but majority seem to shed some light on the fact that teenagers simply should not take part in voting. The average teenagers seem too young to be mature about issues, are uninterested in what major decisions are made by the government, and are simply being used by their parentals for an extra person support their own beliefs.
Hartford, CT is a well-known city that has developed into a concentric zone fashion. A concentric zone consists of five zones; Central Business District, Transitional Zone, Working Class Zone, Residential Zone, and the Commuter Zone. Each zone consists of different qualities that can all be found in Hartford. Hartford is very similar to Chicago based on the description of Chicago given by Dr. Burgess. Just like Chicago, Hartford is also a city that has a high crime rate.

Bridgeport is Connecticut’s largest city with a population estimated at 147,629 residents. Located along Long Island Sound at the mouth of the Pequannock River, the city has an area of 19.4 square miles. Bridgeport experiences warm to hot and humid summers and cold, snowy winters. These seasonal extremes are somewhat moderated by Long Island Sound. This results in a lower average temperature in summer and moderate snowfall, as compared to our neighbors inland. The city receives 41.7 inches of precipitation and around 25.6 inches of snowfall in an average year. The snowiest winter on record occurred in 1996 when Bridgeport received 76.8 inches in total accumulation. Bridgeport is located on Long Island Sound and is bordered by Fairfield, Connecticut
In Anny Shin’s article , “ Takoma Park 16-year-old savors his history making moment at the polls” she explains to us how this 16 year old boy enjoyed being able to do something a lot of young people can't and that is to vote. Takoma City is making a huge step by being the first place a person younger than 18 could vote. As evidence from ,“ Takoma Park 16-year-old savors his history making moment at the polls” , by Anny Shin when she writes, “Ben Miller plans to step into the booth and become at the Takoma Park Community Center and do something that the country’s other 16 year olds can’t: cast a vote in an election”.This is a good idea, because the U.S has low voter turnout rates and if we can lower the age of voters, then we might just see
America has been built on the idea that as citizens, we have the choice to decide what is the best for our country. Millions of Americans cast their vote every election day to make sure their voices are heard on who is going to run their country and what new policies they will bring with them. As stated in Anny Shin’s article, “Takoma Park 16-year-old savors his history-making moment at the polls,” voting is a, “valuable privilege,” in which many don’t realize. In the United States, not every is allowed to vote, only 18-year old citizens are allowed to vote. However the number of 18-year olds voting is very low and this has been an issue in the political for quite a while. The concerns and desires of most millennials are not being expressed as many are not voting. Many, like the city of Takoma have proposed to allow 16 and 17-year olds to vote as they believe that voting among millennials will increase.
Allowing teens that are sixteen and seventeen vote is a good idea because many kids have a dream of their own. Ben miller, who is one of the first sixteen years olds to vote stated “it's a valuable privilege”, Which in all ways he's correct not many countries allow their younger generations to vote. After the “26 amendment gave 18-year-olds the right to vote” (shin) the rate of voter registration want up. The younger teenagers are considered more likely to vote than the elders. This showed a small difference in the outturn making it a better chance for whatever candidate to be chosen. Although, Miller did not have a driver's license yet he was still able to vote because of his “pre-register” which allowed him to vote “through the Motor vehicle administration”(shin). Even though his mother was a”writer and whose father does international relief and development work”(shin), he was
The daily life of the Connecticut colony was very busy and included that the women worked in home, raising the children, cooking meals, sewing clothes and weaving cloth. The girls have to learned the skill to manage a home, the men worked hard outside in the farms and fields (plantations) the had to do all in hand. The boys were helped the father, cleared land, built fences, butchered animals and split wood, and the girls helped the mother, sometimes they did go to school but it was more important that the boys learned to read and write because they worked outside with the men and they thought that it was important to know. They just had one religion named Puritans that it was like the catholic religion.
this low voting rate was attributed to a general lack of feeling of responsibility. As young adults age, marry, and become parents, their sense of community and responsibility increases, while their apathy toward voting decreases, (Abramson 116). Another reason for low voter turnout numbers for 18 to 24-year-olds is their generally low levels of party loyalties. Not having strong party ties decreases one's incentive to vote.
If we take into consideration of how voting in another country, that allows people younger than 18 to vote, then we could see how it has impacted their elections when younger voters cast a ballot. I believe that it's not fair that other countries allow younger voters to vote and the U.S doesn't, even though there is statistics to prove that younger voters will vote. In Denmark, they allow voters under 18 to vote and prove that younger voters will most likely cast a ballot than other people who aren't that much older than them. As evidence from, “ Takoma Park 16-year-old savors his history making moment at the polls” by Anny Shin when she writes, “ Richie had seen reports from Denmark that suggested younger teenagers are more likely to cast a ballot than their slightly older peers”. The city of Takoma is making a statement by allowing voters under 16 to vote and if it shows some positive effect from their elections, then why can't the rest of the U.S allow voters under 18 to vote.
Young adults in current times have grown up with many rights that have not always been considered a right but instead a privilege. Voting is one of these rights that was once only considered a privilege, eligible for a particular gender and ethnicity. For many years this meant that the only group of people allowed to vote were white males. Today, things are different and everyone has the choice to vote after they reach the age of eighteen. The right to vote is a powerful right that we must take advantage of because not every country is lucky enough to have a say in their government. Today, in America we have the opportunity to decide if we would like to vote or not. Many Americans take pride in this right as it is considered a civic duty that has not always been eligible to everyone.
Younger people ages 18 – 24 have been less likely to vote in the past due to lack of interest, money, or time to go. Also, they just had a lack of information so they just didn’t care to have
