Socially Conservative
Social conservatism is a political philosophy and variety of conservatism which places emphasis on traditional power structures over social pluralism. Social conservatives organize in favor of duty, traditional values and social institutions, such as traditional family structures, gender roles, sexual relations, national patriotism, and religious traditions.

However, ''social conservatism'' describes conservative moral and social values or stances on socio-cultural issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage in opposition to ''cultural liberalism'' (in USA, social liberalism). ''Nationalism'', meanwhile, also differs from cultural conser ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
