USA 2024: A Global Take

Did you know US is a major player in world politics? And choices made during the election can influence international relations, trade agreements, and global issues like climate change and security.

Understanding the US election process and the candidates' stances on key issues can give us insight into how policies may affect the UK and the world. It is a chance to learn about democracy in action and see how citizens in another country take part in shaping their government. 

Getting our heads around the election is not just about politics; it is about being a global

citizen. By learning about different political systems and issues, you are expanding your knowledge and preparing yourself to be an informed and active member of society and recognising that your voice deserves to be heard no matter where you are in the world. 

As teens, in the uk, staying informed about the US election can also inspire us to engage in politics and make a difference in our own community. It is a reminder that young voices matter and being aware of what is happening globally can empower us to advocate for causes we believe in and participate in shaping our own country's future. 

So, whether it's following the debates, reading up on the candidates' platforms, or discussing the election with friends and family, taking an interest in the US election can broaden your perspective and encourage you to be an informed and engaged citizen, both locally and globally.
