With the federal election call, we've been talking about the political spectrum and ways of thinking associated with it. I've edited and adapted this text from Study.com:
Social values matter a
lot to a society, but people have different ideas about what those
values are. There are generally two opposing viewpoints.
Social Progressives (Left wing)
Let's start on the left side of the political spectrum, with the ideologies of the social progressives. This is the belief that society's root issues and problems need to
be exposed and corrected. Social progressives are generally
not content with accepting things as they are for the sake of
tradition, and are willing to uproot even longstanding social traditions
to create what they see as a better, fairer, and more equal society.
So, if we can sum up social progressive movement in a word, it's
reform.Social Progressives (Left wing)
Conservatives (Right wing) |
Another nice summary is on this webpage although the grammar isn't perfect!
"The key difference between a Conservative and a Progressive is a Conservative has a conservative (traditional) attitude -- not favoring political and social change, while a Progressive favors political and social transformations and innovations."
