THE MORAL POLITICS TEST

CONFORMANCE

Conformance is the notion of a structured moral order. People who like Conformance tend to have many steps on their moral order ladder. For instance, they may believe that:

  1. God ranks above people
  2. Men rank above women
  3. Some cultures rank above others
  4. Some lifestyles rank above others...

A structured moral order brings uniformity of thought and behavior across society. It encourages each individual to respect the established moral order.

People on this side may support:

  1. Integration of church and state
  2. Family values
  3. Military programs
  4. Abortion-Control...

NonConformance stems from the belief that children are born bad. Children must be taught self-discipline and self-reliance to become responsible members of society. Teaching self-discipline and self-reliance commonly entails following a set of well-established social guidelines ("traditional values") .

The notion of whether children are born good or bad is morally subjective; it cannot be proven outside of a moral context. As a result, belief in NonConformance is a matter of personal conviction.
