Essays on Conservative

It is common knowledge that the two main political parties in the United Sates are the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Each of these parties enjoys a huge following across the entire country. Nevertheless, some states are known to be red states or Republican Party strongholds while others are known to be blue states or strongholds of the Democratic Party. The main reason that Americans choose which of these two parties to follow is because they stand for certain ideologies. Consequently, a citizen has the option of choosing a party which he or she feels has ideologies that ...

Personal Political Views: Dynamics of Being a Conservative

In the United States of America, the two main political groupings are the Democrats and the Republicans. Whilst the Democratic Party adopts modernist views on issues and ideas, the Republicans support traditional ideas and promote the fundamental concept of the founding of the United States – property owning democracy and Capitalism. The two ideas come together to define political discourse and shape the fundamental basis of public policy and organization in the country. As an individual, I support the Conservative school of political thought. This paper will critically analyze the position of Conservative structures in government and political issues in ...

Jewish Reform and Conservative Movements

Aside from Christianity and Islam, Judaism can be considered one of the oldest religions still practiced and worshiped today. Its history traces back since the early centuries and like Christianity and Islam, Judaism is known for its monotheistic faith. Much like its counterparts, Judaism has grown significantly throughout the years, establishing societies and communities adhering to the laws subscribed by its sacred text. However, as years progress, there are instances where some of the religion’s traditions and customs are clashing with the modern times. Some Jews recognized this problem and proposed for changes in the faith, but others ...

Introduction
Texas politics are often constructed in the frame of conservativism, but Texas politics are actually much more complex than that. Although much of the state is rural and conservative, there are growing pockets of liberalism surrounding cities and urban centers like Austin and Houston (King, 2013).

Media is often perceived by the general public as an impartial source of information, but in reality, media in America is highly biased. Because American media is so heavily focused on partisan politics, it is fundamentally important to understand the background and the lens through which the news is being portrayed. Certain news media groups tend to lean more liberally, while others are more conservative in their reporting; while it is journalistically unethical to report factually untrue news, it sometimes happens regardless. It may happen because a story is breaking and not all the facts are available at the ...

What is most common in people’s mind in regards what characterizes a conservative person, it is widely accepted that conservative is an individual with rather “old-fashioned” ideas, or one that sticks to tradition. Usually a conservative person refuses to follow the stream and embrace new concepts. According to the Oxford Dictionaries, conservative as an adjective means “holding to traditional attitudes and values and cautious about change or innovation, typically in relation to politics or religion” (oxforddictionaries.com), while in terms of what defines a conservative person, Oxford Dictionaries note that it is “a person who is averse to change ...

Abstract

Multilateral organizations, such the International Monetary Fund, play a major role in our society, working in the areas of technical and financial assistance through structural adjustments in developing countries, as well as funding and sector-specific policy guidance. This domain has an inherent dynamism, and must be understood by analyzing the historical trajectory of these organizations and understanding that their actions are guided by the ideology that sustains the society we live in, which is rooted in the capitalist mode of production. This led me to ask the simple question: to what extant has the IMF been a force for ...

Introduction

Sociology is useful for travel planning or migrating to other countries outside the United States because applying sociological concepts will help acquaint an individual with the social behavior and way of life of people in a particular destination or country (Korgen, 228). When traveling or migrating to another country, an individual is expected to make adjustments because of cultural and social features in these countries or destinations. Hence, applying sociological concepts to study behavior and way of life in a particular country will help an individual know what to expect and anticipate changes or adjustments that he or she ...

Aggressive Equity investors

The 2011 elections were instigated by Liberal party leader’s motion of no-confidence. While the liberal party seemed to enjoy large support among Canadians, the results of the election would prove them wrong. The results of the party delivered majority to the Conservative while offering NDP the official opposition status. The failure of the liberal party is worth investigating. This analysis is aimed at establishing the mistakes done by the Liberal party and their impact in their campaign. It will deal with the leadership, organization, policy, and funding of the party.
Problems in the Liberal party started in December ...

Introduction

There is nothing called objective viewpoint. Media which plays a big role in giving information on the world often is accused of showing bias towards a particular ideology or a particular social group or a particular party. Though a journalist tries to be objective in his viewpoint by following two methods, 1) showing fairness to those associated with the news and 2) a professional approach to gathering information that seeks completeness, accuracy and fairness, he often fails to reach the ethical heights just like anyone involved in the profession of politics (The Rhetorica Network). Since reporting of news is ...

The American media often presents itself as unbiased, but in reality, most research that has been done into the topic has discovered that American media is heavily biased. There are liberal and conservative biases within the media, and determining where the bias lies in a particular type of media or network is important when it comes to analyzing the information received from that media outlet. This paper will deal with two different pieces of research that focus on American media: the first, entitled “Selective Exposure to Cable News and Immigration in the US: The Relationship Between FOX News, CNN, ...

The countries that were defeated in the World War I, and especially Germany, had additional reasons for the rise of fascism. One of them was a sense of humiliation experienced by the nation due to payment of reparations to victorious countries for the damage caused, which in official propaganda and in everyday life was regarded as the greatest shame of the German nation, which could be cleaned only by a new blood. Fascist leaders successfully used this moment and deliberately fueled the revanchist sentiment. In Germany, which suffered from the crisis stronger than other countries, intensified the revolutionary movement. ...

The institution of marriage has gone through different changes over the different historical periods of the Jews. Traditional Jewish marriage comprises of several rituals (e.g. purification of the bride) as well as several documents (e.g. the marriage contract) that spell out the marriage terms and conditions.

Introduction

Norms are what binds communities together – a set of observed habits, rituals and occasions ensconced within a set of socially-agreed conventions. The identity of communities heavily rely on the norms they practice as they try their best to perpetuate those throughout generations. It is precisely due to such that communities tend to treat a certain set of values that are taboo – forbidden, in other words, within the norms they observe. The desire of communities not to identify themselves to a specific set of taboo values provides motivation for them to protect their observation of norms. In that sense, it ...

- Traditional Parents and Modern Children
Technology and modernity seem to have put parents and children on two opposing sides in the world today. While many parents would rather they stick to their traditional ways of bringing up children, children on the other hand have their own ways they would rather be brought up in other than what their parents are doing. Even so, the world today has no choice but to acknowledge the blend between modernity and tradition and both parents and children are left no choice but to acknowledge the challenges that are coming with this phenomenon. ...

American Evangelicalism

Overview
In United States, major religious transition occurred in the start of the twentieth century. More so, there were large numbers of American Protestants under the evangelical leadership. Apparently, in 1900s, there was massive stratification of evangelical denominations based on the doctrinal beliefs and practices. One side consisted of the mainstream Protestants who believed in the personal interpretation of evangelical doctrines. The fundamentalists introduced new beliefs and practices beyond the biblical teachings that provide more freedom of worship to the believers. Additionally, American Protestants applied contemporary factors into the practicability of the biblical doctrines. It is an idea to ...

Conservatism based on Russell Kirk and Phyllis Schlafly’s Works

Conservatism can be defined as a social and or political philosophy that favors the retention of traditional social orders and institutions. This means that in a typical argument between liberals and traditionalists, conservatives would vote for the retention of established dogmas, principles, and institutions, emphasizing the importance of continuity and stability. Following the Second World War, countries, not just the United States, have made great progress in making reforms, either to their existing social, economic, and or political orders. While this may be something that would immediately alarm the conservatives, both Russell Kirk and Phyllis Schlafly presented good points ...

Since, the portfolio construction is based on Moderately Conservative Risk Tolerance, this is a clear indication that the investor is either retired or is retired and is solely relying on paychecks from the portfolio income. Another extreme case can be that the investor has already faced the negative side of investment and has lost his money in the past and thus, he prefers to be moderately conservative in his investment approach. Thus, being an ethical investment advisor firm, we cannot force the investor to change his investment approach and thus, we shall continue with the portfolio construction as per ...

Political correctness is a growing concern in today’s tender climate, so much so that it seems individuals cannot speak their mind or take a stance on anything for fear of being dubbed too radical or too lackadaisical about an issue. Equality between genders is not immune to this problem, but also a hot-button issue for political correctness. The word “feminist” is a trigger for some, a warning that allows people to understand you are either an enemy, or a friend. It is unfortunate that there is such a divide based on a simple word because feminism’s true ...

ABSTRACT

In the 19th Century, when John Stuart Mill and his conservative enemy Cardinal John Henry Newman were politically and intellectual active, it was simply a given that the law would enforce Christian or Biblical morality of social and cultural matters like abortion, homosexuality, drug use, euthanasia and suicide, pornography and a wide variety of other issues. Indeed, this had always been the case in Britain, the U.S. and other Western nations in ways that would be all but unthinkable today. Even at that time, though, Cardinal Newman was already afraid that the religious authorities were losing their traditional political ...

With the formation of human communities, methods of governing and regulation individuals in the society had to arise, and thus began Politics. Politics deal with organized governance and can be regarded as the methods achieving and exercising positions of power in the organized governance. Politics has been debated since antiquity by various scholars and philosophers. From Aristotle in his Politics to Plato in his Republic and even the numerous works of Confucius have all tried to postulate the best political system to organize people along.

The Republicans and the Democrats have distinctively different philosophies on a wide range of issues. The Republicans tend to be more conservative on virtually all subjects as opposed to the Democrats who take liberal positions. As such, a conservative Republican position denotes one that is conservative in its approach. On the other hand, the liberal democratic position leans to the left and is not conservative. In order to shed some light on these diametric positions, this paper shall conduct an overview of the various philosophies that inform the two schools of thought.

Conservative vs Liberal Ideology

America is considered by many as the “Land of the Free”, wherein any person could practice his belief, ideology and affiliation without the need to fear the government from forced intervention. Civil liberties and human rights matter most for the Americans, especially under its Constitution. However, there have been chances wherein ideologies became the cause of conflict inside the country, which could be seen in the country’s two leading political parties: the Democrats and the Republicans. Conservatives supports the growth of capitalism and retention of traditional laws to sustain the growth of the country, while the Liberals support ...

International trade has become part of the global business world. Through international trade, different countries are able to do business with each other. The benefits of international trade by far surpass the disadvantages. This is to say that international trade has been embraced worldwide as a day-to-day practice for successful business. Although international trade puts countries on the same platform, some countries reap much more benefits than other countries. This has led to scholars carrying out research to establish what some countries do differently for them to be successful compared to their rivals. The world is diverse, and different ...

Adolf Hitler’s National Socialism was a system without any redeeming features at all, although it obviously appealed to the majority of Germans who were pleased that the regime ended unemployment and made Germany a great power again. Nazism was a racist and militaristic ideology rather than a form of socialism in the Western sense, and was based on Hitler’s own delusions and paranoia, and his obsessions about the Jews infecting the body of the ‘healthy’ Aryan Volk. Unlike most of the other Communist and nationalist revolutions, it also took place in a highly urbanized and industrialized economy ...

The United States was the dominant military and economic power in the world from 1945-73, since World War II had left both its allies and opponents defeated and bankrupt. In this period, the American middle class was also growing at an unprecedented rate, and by the 1960s women, youth, blacks and other minorities were also demanding reforms and social changes, and sometimes even revolution. At the same time, though the Vietnam War was also a symptom of American decline, and in addition to derailing Lyndon Johnson’s Great society it also opened the door to the revival of conservatism ...

Criminal Law

Introduction
This paper looks at the claim by Cullen and Gilbert (1982) that “Rehabilitation should be the major goal of any correctional system” (p. 5) and seeks to determine if rehabilitation is the most efficient method to attenuate crime. From the onset of the 20th century, efforts to combat crime have seen a rise in the implementation of rehabilitation as a preferred philosophy or methodology enacted by the justice system in order to reduce this societal challenge. The treatment of criminals was perceived as both efficient in terms of crime prevention and also the treatment of offenders was considered ...

Margaret Thatcher is an iconic political figure that goes down in history as the longest serving, and only woman, British Prime Minister in the history of politics in the United Kingdom. Famous for her stern political stance and policies on international policies and relations, Thatcher was nick-named the ‘Iron Lady’, a name that well stuck with her considering her general approach to policies and outlook into international politics. Having served Britain for 20 years, Thatcher stands as an important political figure that brought with her great political changes in the United Kingdom. Not only is she notable for her ...

Question 1

Political ideologies are the windows through which people view and believe the government should be run and public policies implemented. I believe in a combination of both the liberal and conservative ideologies. This is because the beliefs of both ideologies vary depending on the issue at hand. As far as gay marriages are concerned, I believe the conservative ideology is more logical. This is because conservatives believe in preservation o the traditional marriage. This means they appreciate the negative effects that gay marriages will have on the balance that exists in society due to the traditional home setting. Liberals ...

An analysis of the transition of Latin America politics in terms of continuity and changes after independence reveals that the new political power of sovereign nationhood affected the Caribbean republics.

Donna Barstow, a political cartoonist who draws for publications such as Psychology Today, and who claims to draw for The New Yorker and other such publications, has a very unique yet impenetrable style. In her cartoons "Arnold as Baby-daddy for Father's Day" and "Nobody is Born a Conservative," a strange amalgam of technique, style and depiction of humor is used to attempt at political discourse. However, it must be ultimately stated that her cartoons are devoid of clear message, crudely drawn, and obtuse to the point of uselessness. These two cartoons, after careful analysis, seem to attempt at analysis ...

Southern Baptists have been, for the last few decades, one of the more polarizing denominations within the Christian faith. The largest Baptist sect in the world, and the largest collection of Protestants in the United States, it ranks second only to the Catholic Church in terms of the number of Christian believers in the United States. Its history is rooted in the racist troubles of the American South, though, as it split off from the Baptists in the northern part of the country in 1845, in a disagreement about the morality of slavery. Once the Civil War ended, the ...

In the Economist debate over the presence and legitimacy of the ‘global elite,’ Jamie Whyte and Daniel Ben-Ami argued both for and against, respectively, the right of the global elite to have the majority of wealth in the world. They also discussed whether or not they subjectively ‘deserved’ to be there, and whether their status on the top was beneficial for the whole of humanity – whether they ‘served the masses’. Jamie Whyte argued for the legitimacy of the elite, as they are providing services and purposes that are proportional in importance to their income and level of power. Conversely, ...

Ideally, the social democrats back all welfare programs and activities including long-term welfare, which aims at ensuring that resources are distributed equally among citizens of a country. This socialism ideology came about because of religious, communal, and occupational groups that considered solidarity and empowerment of the people. Unlike the social democrats, the conservatives do not support welfare activities (Korpi 13). Categorically, they believe that those in need should be given ...

There are a number of issues with defining marriage in today’s society. For instance, the definition of what constitutes a marriage has changed significantly over the years, and today, marriage is primarily a legal definition, rather than a religious one. This is not to say that there are not religious marriages; however, for the purposes of society and government, religious is taken out of the marriage equation for the most part. Rick Santorum in his article, “The Meaning of Family” makes a number of points in his argument against gay marriage and gay rights. He stated that same-sex ...
