Conservatism
 

Can anyone give me their opinion of conservatism and also facts and what theyve done and stand for? Also who benifits and who doesn't and how. Thanks so much would help me out alot.

umm... i think the best place to start would be with a history of the united states.

accepting anyone else's interpretations of conservatism, and its affects, is setting yourself up to be another sheep in the political society of this country.

It's for school...

soooo.....it's for your homework? ;)

Translation: Will someone do the research for my report for me? I don't want to.

This is the most you'll get out of me.

From what I recall there are two defenitions of "conservatism" as a political ideology, one basically opposes all change, with a "if its not broke then don't fix it" mentality. Another basically says, conservatives have to change their opinions to better reflect the modernising world.

PS: Wikipedia always has the goods imo, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservatism

Isn't "conservatism" like saving trees and stuff??? ;)

I'm real big into conservatism. I like dolphins and pandas, but screw the whales cause there like ugly and stuff.

You have the world at your fingertips through the Internet and your coming to us to give you our opinion. Find your own. In the end it can only do you a world a good.

that's the funniest thing i've read in a long time... thanks!

lol@ this thread.

Methinks someone lied about his age. :hmm:

I could scan my drivers liscense if you really want me to...

um....cause he's in school?? I'm in school too ;)

Nonetheless, AfterBurn, could you give us some more info here? If you're asking us to do your homework, well, that's not gonna happen :) But if you're looking for help on how to do research on this "conservatism" - which it seems to me there are many different thoughts about what you mean by that - then let us know what you mean by "conservatism" and what kind of info you're looking for. Otherwise, as you can see, this thread is going nowhere ;)

What they said. Seriously, it would be faster and easier to just do a google search.

So basically...

Nah. The extent of most high school/college students' knowledge of politics is: "GWB is evil, for some reason."

I'll never forget a few years back, my girlfriend at the time and I were taking a college course on philosophy, and it got into politics a little. One time after class, she asked me to explain more about the difference between capitalism and socialism. I obliged, started trying to explain the basics, and she interrupted to say "Wait. I thought socialism is better because it's, like, good to be social." :eek:

She was actually one of the brighter girls I've known, too. :crazy:

I mean the political philosophy

here....I'll break it down for ya'

CONSERVATISM

CON- To decieve, cheat or otherwise swindle.

SERVE-To give, or take to, another.

TISM-An attempt to make something sound official, or impotant.

Hand that one in, you're sure to get an "A".

OOOOOOOOH BUUUUUUUUURN!!!

lmfaooooooooo thank you, I have now added this to my AIM profile. good times, lol :lol:

Instead of referring you to search on google, we could offer you some search clues :hmm:

I would suggest you search for French Revolution and left wing vs. right wing / Political parties / conservative vs. liberal / etc.

In the time it takes you to do that....

I think listening to the various news stations and talk radio would be mightily helpful.

Google is your friend, believe me. Now if you would like to know my opinions on conservatism, that's cool, but I, like the others on this board, aren't going to do your homwork for you. Also, in the time that you have taken to bother to ask about conservatism here and reply to posts, you probably could have already gotten a great deal of objective research compiled up for yourself.

All you supportive TFPers, why not help another person with his french homework?
