Identify and define the two sides in the so-called "culture war." Then, explains Morris Fiorina's viewpoint on red states and blue states in this nation.

What will be an ideal response?

?Orthodox:Believe that morality is as important or more important than self-expression and that moral rules derive from the commands of God or the laws of nature-commands that are relatively clear, unchanging, and independent of individual preferences.?Progressives:Think personal freedom is as important or more important than certain traditional moral rules and that those rules must be evaluated in light of the circumstances of modern life-circumstances that are complex, changeable, and dependent on individual preferences.?Fiorina believes the "war" is actually a myth. Political leaders may be polarized, but most Americans occupy a middle position on most issues. The media write about "red" and "blue" states, but popular views across such states are similar on many issues.
