Why Conservative Vs Liberal Is Important To Freedom
by Cornelia Reyes
People have always experienced conflict. Everyone has a view of the world that is arises partly from background and experience and partly from inner conviction. Everyone is biased to some extent. In the political arena, conservative vs liberal ideas make for discussion, argument, bitter fighting, and delay. Although the process gets tiresome to follow, it is important to remember that open debate is one of the pillars of freedom.
Conservatives are usually 'older and wiser', while liberals tend to be idealistic youths who leap before they look. Of course, this is a simplification that is not always valid. However, it is true that many liberals of the sixties are swelling the ranks of conservatives in the twenty-first century. The reasons for this shift are many.
Fiscal conservatives are often made rather than born. A child whose father rigidly controlled the family finances might eagerly embrace 'buy now pay later'. However, the same person could learn from the consequences of high consumer debt to budget and save. Such a person could frown on governments who spend borrowed money with no idea of how to repay the loans.
Liberals, however, might view present needs as more important than future stability. They want to feed the poor, heal the sick, earn a lot of money with their college education so they can pay high taxes, protect the environment while creating technology to provide new employment opportunities, and still feed off the fat of the land. After all, an ideal society can provide well for all when assets are shared, right?
The difference in viewpoint among politicians and constituencies causes political debate and sometimes unrest. Socialism calls for concentrating power and wealth in a central government which cares for the people. Conservatives tend to feel that a free enterprise system, where people are encouraged to work for wages and take care of themselves, is better. They also feel that a capitalistic country allows its citizens more personal freedom.
Others feel that people living under the poverty level might not be aware of programs that can help them. Perhaps the social worker's job is to give out this information. It's hard to draw the line between making people dependent on government aid and denying them the help they actually need. It's hard to know when a program is helpful or controlling.
There are debates over fiscal policies, national defense and foreign aid, prayer and sex ed in schools, the role of religion in public life and the definition of marriage. Policymakers debate whether the focus should be on the public or private sector of society and over what is changing the weather. It's enough to make you want to hide your head in the sand.
<A href="http://www.americas-moral-dilemma.com">Conservative vs liberal</A> will probably never change unless some global calamity reduces our focus to rock-bottom basics. Although we may get fed up with the constant bickering or be dismayed by some new move by the politicians, we need to remember that open debate is one of the foundational principles of a free society. If everyone tries to see the other side as well as their own, we just might meet in the middle.
