==description of liberalism and conservatism ==
[[conservatism|Conservatism]] Recent research provides evidence that one important difference between liberals and [[liberalism|Liberalism]] in the context of deliberation conservatives is states of mind their basic moral intuitions. These studies suggest that create different reaction while liberals and conservatives respond similarly to deliberation. When people in considerations of harm/care and fairness (what Graham and Haidt call the state “individualizing” foundations), conservatives also respond strongly to considerations of mind of conservatism they usually will be less suspitable to adopt new ideasin-group, authority, they will be more planed-ction driven and somtimes more aggresive or fearfulpurity (the “binding” foundations) while liberals do not."<ref>[http://www.

==Environmental Causes for Conservatism and Liberalism==
Conservatism and liberalism as reactions to environmental states.
Based on [[Haidt Moral Foundations Theory|Haidt findings]] I suggest that liberalism and conservatism are reactions to environmental state. Haidt found that liberal and conservatives differ in their attitude toward six typical values. I'll suggest that these differences of attitude may stem reactions to different environmental situations. Liberalism may stem from a reaction to safe and abundant environment while conservatism may be a reaction to dangerous environment which is scarce of resources.
The idea that creatures tend to react with different strategies to different environmental situations is not new. In ecology it is known that in organisms react to a harsh or safe environment with two different strategies of breeding: one is named ''r selection'' and the other is ''k selection''. R selection is a strategy suited for an environment which is dangerous and has scarce resources. In this strategy, creatures tend to give birth to many offsprings and they tend to give them minimal resources in their nurture. In such strategy, some of the offsprings may survive the harsh conditions and the dangers. For instance some kinds of fishes ten to lay ten of thousands of eags, and they don't take care of them. from such multitude, only few survive predation ang go into adulthood. But when the environment is safer and there are more resources, creatures tend to have less offsprings and they tend to give each of them much more care and resources while nurturing them. They protect their offsprings and prepare them for adulthood.

It was found that in highy enxialty (in clinical population) the anxities showed less activation of the rosteral ACC, thus there life are less able to disengage from the fear cause, and thus elevate fear levelsprotected.
While r and k selection is well documented strategies for birth, I'll suggest that conservatism and liberalism are two strategies for group behavior in the face of dangerous or safe environment. One of the reason that help me suggest such hypothesis is a research done by Jonathan Haidt. Haidt found that conservatives and liberals have different attitudes towards six values. The values are loyalty, respect for authority, fairness, sexuality, defend from harm and liberty. Liberals tend to value loyalty and authority less then conservatives. Liberals tend to have a less strict need for controlling the sexuality. Conservatives tend to legitimize punishment of insubordinate individuals and groups, while liberals tend to defend the unorthodox. Conservatives see fairness as a reward for an investment, while liberals tend to share more resources and distribute them more evenly, regardless of one's investment. And of course, liberals tend to value liberty in the face of society more then conservatives does.
When rostral ACC it seems that such difrences in attitude, may help a group to adapt itself to change in an environment. The conservative value in which fairness is based on reciprocity and that hard work is needed for one to earn his living, can help encourage people to work hard in an environment where resources are scarce. On the other hand, in a state of abundance, where there is not activeplenty to go around, one there is no need to work hard to obtain resources. In this case people can not learnshare more resources.

Folllow by examples"Recent research provides evidence that one important difference between liberals and conservatives is their basic moral intuitions. These studies suggest that while liberals and conservatives respond similarly to considerations of harm/care and fairness (what Graham and Haidt call the “individualizing” foundations), conservatives also respond strongly to considerations of in-group, authority, and purity (the “binding” foundations) while liberals do not. Our study examined two alternative hypotheses for this difference—the first being that liberals cognitively override, and the alternative being that conservatives cognitively enhance, their binding foundation intuitions. Using self-regulation depletion and cognitive load tasks to compromise people's ability to monitor and regulate their automatic moral responses, we found support for the latter hypothesis—when cognitive resources were depleted/distracted, conservatives became more like liberals (de-prioritizing the binding foundations), rather than the other way around. This provides support for the view that conservatism is a form of motivated social cognition."<ref>[http://wrightjj1.people.cofc.edu/JESP%20Role%20of%20Cognitive%20Resources%20(Publication).pdf Wright, J.

==Letriture review=====Charectristics of Lib-Con===Liberalism and conservatism (LibCon) This is a phrsae taken form the political scene, but it may apply probably due to commerce, fashion and other social attitudes. In commerce, liberals, or early adopters, are people who tend to buy the newest products, while conservatives look for well tested products, who are old-fashioned <ref>Rogers Everett M., 1962,Diffusion of Innovations, Free Press of Glencoe, Macmillan Company<[[amygdala]]/ref>. Although the phenomena is well known, It's characteristics are buffleing. A well known attempt to understand the phenomena was don by Lakoff[[Paper: Metaphor, Morality, rACC]] and Politics, Or, Why Conservatives Have Left Liberals In the Dust ,George Lakoff, 1995|the phenomena was done by Lakoff[[dACC]]<ref>[http://www.charlielawing.com/metaphor_and_politics.pdf Metaphortendencies, Morality, and Politics, Or, Why Conservatives Have Left Liberals In which causes the Dust ,George Lakoff, 1995]</ref>.

Conservatives On the other hand liberals seems to have lower ability to work in groups as Lakoff suggested (ref). He suggested that liberals should learn from conservatives how to make greater coalitions, but the reason liberals are more fearfulporrer preformers at social gathering may be due to brain tendency having lower volume of amygdala, which is involved in social learning. And indeed, while liberals are more calmtrusting but have smaller social networks, while conservatives find faster threatening facial emotion and have larger social networks<ref>[http://wwwVigil, J.sciencemagM.org/content/321/5896/1667(2010).full Political Attitudes Vary leanings vary with Physiological Traits, 2008facial expression processing and psychosocial functioning.

There is a connection between liberalism Having lower amygdala volume does not mean that liberals are not felling threat. They detect threat less easily and intelegencetherefore are more trusting, but when they do detect threat they react as conservatives<ref>[http://onlinelibraryNail, P.

'''Just world theory''': The just-world hypothesis (or just-world fallacy) is the cognitive bias that all human actions eventually yield morally fair and fitting consequences, so that, ultimately: noble actions are duly rewarded and evil actions are duly punished. In other words, the just-world hypothesis is the tendency to attribute consequences to, or expect consequences as the result of, an unspecified power that restores moral balance; the fallacy is that this implies (often unintentionally) the existence of such a power in terms of some cosmic force of justice, desert, stability, or order in the universe.-Stop here----
The fallacy popularly appears in the English language in various figures of speech, which often imply a negative reprisal of justice, such as: "You got what was coming to you," "What goes around comes around," and "You reap what you sow." This phenomenon of this fallacy has been widely studied by social psychologists since Melvin J. Lerner conducted seminal work on the belief in a just world in the early 1960s<ref>Lerner, M.J. & Montada, L. (1998). An Overview: Advances in Belief in a Just World Theory and Methods, in Leo Montada & M.J. Lerner (Eds.). Responses to Victimizations and Belief in a Just World (1–7). Plenum Press: New York</ref>. Since that time, research has continued, examining the predictive capacity of the hypothesis in various situations and across cultures, and clarifying and expanding the theoretical understandings of just world beliefs<ref>Furnham, A.

Therefore they will prefer to avoid community help for the poor, and will prefer to let the government do the help for the poor. Thy will also resist capitalism, because capitalism emphasize "productivity", it and therefore capitalism is inhospitable to liberals. Mild-Conservatives are more "productive" and are more closed-communities oriented; therefore they will prefer capitalism and self-helping communities. As people become more conservatives they more closed minded, adhere more to the "truth" and are more critical, their communities start to risky disintegrate. They will shift to relay "strong leadership" regimes like Theocratic regime or nationalistic regime. These regimes are usually working on "Justice" and much less on "Benevolence".
