| Liberalism |
Tends to equal distribution: there is abundance of resources so we can help the poor get better, and also because liberals thought to be lazy they favor state support for the weak. After liberals understood that equal sharing bring people not to work, liberals now advocate equal opportunity |
They do not see threat to the group so they do not see reason not to protect the weak of other groups |
due to their higher education they recognize cooperative control, and fight against it |
When there is abondance, every body can do what ever he wants, especially if will not get pregnant due to the pills.
|
| Conservatism |
Reciprocity:only hard work will bring resources. everybody should work and not cheat on the group |
if the people are not subordinate, or there is a reason for the king to punish, then it is OK to heart some |
Liberty under the group, that protect us, but fight a government that take taxes to support the weak (the leaches) |
Sexual arrousal cause people to look for diversity and many partners. This will cause the trust of the family to break and the group to break. people with a lot of desires can not control his desires and will take more resources from the group.
