Question

Which approach to politics is value based ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ok

Explanation:

Values are deep seated. Research demonstrates that it is values that drive emotions, and these in turn drive our rational explanations of our stated purpose. This model argues that the way we vote or choose a party/candidate to support; the kinds of laws we think are ‘good’ or ‘bad’; and the ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way to run business organizations is so deeply held that it can be hard to articulate. The role of market and values researchers is to dig below the rationale and to understand why these opinions are held or and these actions occur.

In "Hackgate – the perfect values storm", we showed how the various Maslow Groups had changed in size over time and outlined the current situation - in which the Prospector group has decreased in size and the Settler group has increased in size over a period of years. This dynamic is new in British society and is due to have profound impacts on the way politicians, institutions and organizations will be judged in the coming years.

As we look at this new model of the values of the British population we can see that the traditional ‘right vs. left’ way of looking at the political arena is inadequate to describe the tensions within in the body politic. This is not a new observation, and indeed is taken as evident in most professional political circles. What is not so evident in these same circles is the nature of the source of the differences between political persuasions.

CDSM has written about the nature of the values splits for many years – various articles can be found on the site – but a basic set of ‘rules of thumb’/heuristics has not been published up to now.
