What exactly are conservative and liberal values, does it differ from nation to nation, era to era?


There are different definitions for liberal and conservative.
First
Liberals are the progressive and activists. They constantly want to change things.
Conservative aren't necessarily against change, but take a slower more cautious approach.
Using this definition, it is the same over time and location. This is also the way I learned in in school.
Second
Specific issues. Some issues are considered conservative, and others are considered liberal.
Using this definition, it changes over time and location, sometimes dramatically. For example liberal and conservative today are very different than when I was young. The views of all those very liberal hippies in the 60s-70s would be moderate today, even moderate conservative. Even if their views are exactly the same, the left-right spectrum has moved so far left during my life that what was very liberal then is considered moderate conservative today.
Third
Philosophical views about the role of government, and the role of the people. This tends to underlie all the other views. This changes over time and location, but there are also basic philosophical views that have been around for thousands of years. Plato and others have written about it.
Thank You for the insight.
techniically conservative is anything holding up the status quo and liberal is anything pushing for more liberties.
but that's not the deeper question, what is left and right?
the left is anything that believes in improving the spirit of man itself. the soul through scientific progress or other means can be changed. the right believes human souls are inherently evil and only through institutions can they be made temporarily better.
the fundamental question is... do you think humans are good? or bad?
Yes, it differs from nation to nation. You are a perfect example. You hate conservatives in America, but love them in the Dominican Republic. How can anyone take you seriously?
Are you going to answer the question or not?
Conservatives don't want heroin needles in a park where their children play. Liberals love heroin needles in the park. They even want to give out free heroin to junkies.
Conservatives want the man who killed your daughter to rot in prison. Liberals want to let him out into the streets to kill more daughters.
At some point in your life you need to stop acting like a child.
That's how you personally define the difference between conservative and liberal values by a extreme minority of fools and their absurd ideas?
Try better.
I asked the question for a reason because I want a concrete answer to the actual differences and how one nation to another has conservative vaules vs liberal values?
Well, the way I see it, it does differ from nation to nation because each nation has its own collective vaules and culture.
Liberal vaules are: Free speech, Human rights, Women rights, Equal rights, Right to education, Right to healthcare, Right to work, Right to housing, Workers rights, Animal rights.
Conservative vaules: Country first and sovereign, Promotion of nationalism, Promotion of religion (Christianity)
Those are the Dominican Republic conservative and liberal values mixed in into one in accordance to the Dominican Republic constitution.
"Liberal vaules are: Free speech, Human rights, Women rights,"
Liberals are shitting bricks because Elon wants Twitter to be a forum with free speech.
I don't know what you mean by human rights, because you never defined that. I also don't know what you mean by women's rights, because you never explained it.
Human rights= Right to personal integrity, right to, right to protest, right to safety, rights under the law.
Women rights= Right to vote, right to equality
You trying to be funny... 😂
Conservative don't believe in what I wrote above which I truly believe in and support 100%
Where you get these absurdities from? Conservative talk radio? 🙄
Only under serious medical emergency situations.
In my heritage country abortion isn't even legal. I subscribe to the radical liberalism of some Americans.

The basics are the same, no mattercehere you go. Liberals want big government to take care of its citizens while Conservatives want smaller government to create situations where the citizens take care of themselves.
The specifics change, depending in where you are.
I don't feel comfortable discussing this in public.
You're anon. Share the knowledge for me to learn?
I'm too scared.
