In today’s American society, we have two main viewpoints: liberal and conservative. These two outlooks take action in different ways. Currently, there is much debate about the actions of both especially with the 2008 Presidential Election coming in November. Liberals believe in the governmental action to achieve equality for all. They believe that it is the duty of the State to protect human and individual rights and civil liberties. With the belief that all people are basically good, it is the governments responsibility that no one is need. Basically, they believe the government should solve problems.
Conservatives on the other hand, believe in the individual. They want a more limited government and more individual freedom. They hold more traditional American values and push for a strong national defense. The government should open opportunities and freedom for people to pursue their goals. Conservative governmental policies generally give power to the individuals to solve problems.
