    What holds conservatism together as a coherent approach to politics is a family of beliefs and attitudes about human beings and society. Most conservatives firmly believe that human beings possess a fixed nature that impedes all political efforts to remake society from scratch

    Conservatives believe that decent and liveable civilizations are difficult to establish and maddeningly fragile. Preserving society requires that government and society establish law and order, acknowledge that inequality of talent and authority is inevitable, promote religion and the teaching of virtue, defend the worth of family and traditional social groups and unapologetically encourage the patriotic love of country.

    Los conservadores creen que las civilizaciones decentes y habitables son difíciles de establecer y enloquecedoramente frágiles. Preservar la sociedad requiere que el gobierno y la sociedad establezcan la ley y el orden, reconozcan que la desigualdad de talento y autoridad es inevitable, promuevan la religión y la enseñanza de la virtud, defiendan el valor de la familia y los grupos sociales tradicionales y alienten sin disculpas el amor patriótico por el país.

    Conservatives sometimes celebrate the efforts of past reformers – once those reformers have left the political arena to ride off into the sunset.

    Today’s progressive liberals or reformers can become tomorrow’s conservative heroes if their innovations prove beneficial

    What is conservatism? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried?’

    Liberalism is the political doctrine of individual liberation, security from harm and equal rights
  • Joseцитуєторік
    In the 20th century, however, liberals began to note that meaningful liberty cannot be separated from security or equal access to government.

    Liberals began to promote the idea of positive liberty, which through a variety of programmes such as public education, aims at equipping citizens with the skills to increase their opportunities for meaningful life choices.

    Liberals also began to emphasize the interconnectedness of society, noting how harm can result to individuals when economic systems such as capitalism lead to massive inequality, poverty and squalor, and dangerous work conditions.

    The good news is that people are born free and equal, and owners of their own lives. The bad news is that people’s liberty and equality – indeed their overall wellbeing – is forever threatened
