Conservative vs. Liberal

explaining the difference between conservative & liberal viewpoints in America. It would be a good idea to brainstorm a list of "issues" that are pertinent to American culture in the 21st century.

Conservative

• Change is bad
• Morality and responsibility
• Government should not solve Americas problems
• Americans should help each other
• There is always a right and a wrong answer in all situations.
• Abortion is murder
• Euthanasia is wrong, people don’t have a “value worth”

Liberal

• Change is good
• The government will solve our problems
• We are allowed to express anything that we want, however we want.
• Government funded programs
• Open to all

There are many differences between liberal and conservative viewpoints. On one hand with liberals, change is good. But they believe that the government will solve all the problems in the world. People are encouraged to change and to express any belief that they want. If they want to practice a certain religion that they weren’t born as, they can. They can be gay, and express it how ever they want and wont be shunned by any other liberal. But then on the other hand with the conservatives, they believe that change is bad. They think that people should be independent, and with out a government. They always think that there is a right and a wrong answer in any situation. There is a world of black and white, there is no grey areas. They also believe that if a woman has an abortion, that it is murder.
