In ancient Greece, women were property and never allowed the
right to vote. Slaves, freed
slaves and foreigners were also denied to right to vote. For men to vote, you had to be a
contributing citizen of society.
That means men had to complete
military training. Once completed, they were expected to
participate in government.
In the US, most have the right to vote. However, some question whether or not
that is in the best interest of the nation.
On the surface, it seems like a great idea to allow everyone
to vote. Foreigners become
citizens and vote. People who were
incarcerated can vote when released.
People on welfare also vote.
Like the ancient Greeks, people who have served in the military vote as
well. Then there is a host of
others who are simply regular people who work or own businesses and don’t fit
into above categories.
The US sociopolitical structure is much more loosely
organized than ancient Greece. And
that is the concern. Are people
really voting for the best interest of the nation? Or are they only concerned about self-interest? If only married women were allowed to
vote, would they be less likely to support government handouts, like welfare
and affirmative action?
As a rule, women tend to be more emotional. When you are voting, it is best to vote
for politicians who support referendums that are in the best interest of
all. That means you don’t focus on
gender or race. If policies are
created that neglect one gender or race, it will eventually negatively affect
the entire population. Simply look
at today’s social dilemma.
Currently, 51% of the workforce is made up of women. As a result of that decision, millions
of men have been displaced and unemployed. Since women don’t like to marry unemployed men, there is
less marriage and more single mother households. Single mother households are breeding grounds for future
criminals, substance and alcohol abusers and child victims of suicide. This is a short-list of problems that
follow single parent households.
With that said, what appeared to be beneficial to women has
been detrimental to society.
What’s worse is women do not appear to be aware of this fact. Or they simply don’t care. At this point, it would seem that many
women made decisions based on emotions.
Emotions may be insufficient to make policies to support a thriving
nation. Perhaps it is time to go
back to the sociopolitical structure of ancient Greece. Maybe their social structures were a
warning. And we ignored it.
