What is conservatism? What are its views about human nature?
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. Conservatism attempts to prevent or slow the transition away from a society based on traditional values and the existing social hierarchy. As the word suggests, the essence of conservative ideology is to conserve the many valued elements of the system that already exist.
2. Conservatism makes two key assumptions about human nature. First, conservatism assumes individuals are not consistently rational. Second, conservatism assumes individuals are inherently unequal in intelligence, skills, and status.
