To be a citizen of this country we have certain rights and privileges. We also have certain responsibilities to be active in positive change. Society is a form of extended family. We all contribute to society, either in a positive way or a negative way. To vote is to have a voice and play a role for a positive change. We all have a responsibility to make the world a better place and we now have the right to do so.
