Both personal responsibility and social responsibility may be reflected in the process of voting.

The essay should be written in Times New Roman, 12- point font, one-inch margins, double-spaced, with college level grammar, structure and spelling. You shouldn’t need to cite any outside sources, but if you do, please use MLA format .The essay should be from 750 to 1000 words in length.
