CONSERVATISM

Conservatism is a political system that blends Conformance and Independence.

1. Children are born bad and should become taught self-discipline and self-reliance to become productive members of society.
2. Individual initiatives are more effective than collective ones.

Conservatism tends to resist rapid change and to support traditional norms, where "traditional norms" is meant to be the type of moral order that existed in previous times (e.g. prior to the 1950's). In a conservative state, citizens are subject to state authority primarily in the social aspects of their lives.

Conservatism includes these variations:

1. Economic Conservatism
2. Moral Conservatism
3. Moderate Conservatism
4. Extreme Conservatism
