Question

Differentiate conservatism from liberalism by brainly .In

Answer 1

Conservatives  Socialism, Liberalism, Conservatism and Ecology  In general, conservatives are associated with right-leaning movements and are characterized by the firm belief that progress should be controlled and, in some instances, impeded in order to preserve traditional values. Conservatives are often part of the dominant group: why would they want to change things when they benefit from the current social/political/economic order?    

Alternatively, if they are not part of the dominant group, they are worried about the consequences and the drastic changes brought about by progress. For instance, in the Western world, liberal movements have dominated the political scenario for the last few decades. Yet, with the threats posed by the spread of terrorism and by the growing wave of migration, many Westerners have begun to take a more conservative stance as far as immigration policies and border control are concerned. In the U.S, Republicans are the traditionally conservative party.  Conservatives believe in:  Limited government involvement in the private sphere;

Free markets;

Traditional values;

Religious values;

Strong personal responsibility;

Individual liberties; and

Strong national defense.  Liberals

Liberals are left-leaning, open to progress and highly reliant in the government to solve problems. Originally, liberals were mainly part of minority groups striving for social changes, whereas today they may also be part of dominant groups. Liberals want to change existing structures and believe that strictly sticking to the tradition (and to traditional values) only slows the society down and impedes progress and development. In the United States, Democrats are considered the liberal party.  Liberals believe in:  Equal opportunities and equality;  Governmental involvement in the private sphere;  Civil liberties;  Inalienable human rights; and  Progress.
