Question

Difference between traditional approach and behavioural approach

Answer 1

What is Traditionalism?

Before embarking upon a detailed analysis about the distinction between traditionalism and behaviouralism it is pertinent to write few words about what is exactly meant by traditionalism in political science. Properly speaking, traditionalism means handing down same ideas, beliefs, faith etc. to the next generation and when this process continues generation after generation that forms the core of tradition­alism. Hence traditionalism implies scrupulous adherence to the past. One generation accepts the ideas, beliefs and faith of the earlier generation.
