The Comparison Of The Conservative And Conservative Methods

Believing that helping the earth for one day will make a difference, is like believing something because it can be rationalized. Humans, as a species, are programed to rationalize their actions, such as only “helping the earth” on one day because it is better than not helping at all. Even if every single person in the entire world were to “help the earth” at the same time for just one day, the impact would actually be quite minimal. Politicians have tried to agree on a common method to better the earth for current and future generations, and the differences in the methods draws a line. This line draws the perimeter for the two main groups, the liberals and the conservatives. Both groups have a much defined methodology of how they plan to better this earth for all generations. The federal government

decides which method to follow, but how do decide on policies and why that specific choice?

Why can politicians not decide on a common method and where do politicians get the resources and money to achieve their goals? So many questions to answer and yet not one simple explanation comes to mind, and the biggest question being, which method is truly more beneficial toward the earth and humans. Conservative views have a higher success rate than liberals toward the environment in terms of methodology, resources and finances, why their method is chosen, and how they achieve the support of new coming voters.

In order understand the type of methods both parties use, a basic understanding of the foundation of each party is required. Conservatives base their party on not being materialistic, by not letting the materialistic things in life get to them, they can better focus on what is truly important and right in front of them. Conservatives believe freedom is important but when taken

responsibly, because everyone who has freedom, does not always use it respectfully and responsibly. Using their freedom as John Bliese states could be seen as owning their own private property and possibly having a free market (Bliese, 6). Liberals believe that success will be granted through factories and industrialization. Some liberals believe that there should be more censoring to the public on what they watch, hear, and know. Liberals tend to have more intention to conserve the earth as stated in Christopher Wolsko, Hector Ariceage, and Jesse Seiden’s article “Red, white, and blue enough to be green: Effects of moral framing on climate change attitudes and conservation behaviors. “Simple slopes analyses conducted within conditions indicated that liberals had higher levels of climate change composite than did conservatives.” (11) With liberals leaning toward the industry for their methods, it is clear to see why the government might choose this method. It is fast, and cheap to produce. Whereas it takes control away from the local government and local communities. Conservatives lean toward their local home towns, and farms because it is simple, well know, pushes the economy within the neighborhood, and even brings new revenue and togetherness to old, and new business, and local people. With liberals and conservatives being so widely different, it is clear to see why it is hard to come to a neutral decision.
A common question asked when the talk of a new bill or policy is making its way through congress, is where the resources does and finances come from to support the funding for said bill or policy. For conservatives, it is quite easy to determine where the resources and finances come from. Some may even say their literal backyard. With every produce being grown and locally owned and run businesses, it cuts out the red tape of it all. Conservatives leaning toward a simpler time and method, most even lead to distilling their own water, making victory gardens, and even hunting. Hunting has been seen as a problem in the liberal’s eyes, because when done for sport, overkilling of a certain population can ruin the ecosystem. Alex Zorach talks about hunting in his article “Building a Census between Liberals and Conservatives”. In his article it states, “Hunters, who span a broad range of political views, have a tendency to be more strongly represented among conservatives, and yet hunters are one of the major driving forces behind the conservation movement in the U.S., including the National Wildlife Refuge System and many state and local refuges.” Liberals tend to see hunting as a cruel activing and to liberals, those who do hunt do not actually care about the environment, just their own pleasure. For liberals, it is just as easy to know where the finances and resources come from, just track their bills to other countries and that little bit taken from paychecks every week. The taxes taken from paychecks goes toward government funded organizations and programs. Including the military, social security, food stamps and much more. Certain people get things called tax breaks, companies get these most of time, and it is said “from 1996 through the 2000, 10 large profitable companies enjoyed a total of $50 billion in tax breaks.”(McIntyre) That $50 billion could have gone toward organizations and programs that desperately needed the money.
With each goal being relatively different it is clear to see why certain aspects are so polar. So how is the choice made? Well government officials sit down, in a big room and they debate. These debates consist of the two groups going back and forth as to why the policy should and shouldn’t be passed. This is currently being done with President Trump’s new bill Trump Care. Now there is many things that will determine if a policy or bill is passed. One is equal representation of both parties. It is uncommon to see both parties represented equally and properly. Second how does it benefit those making the bill, humans are programed to see what action will have the best possible outcome for themselves. Some say it is selfishness, in a way it kind of is, but again humans are programmed to be selfish. Those looking to pass the bill, obviously realized that the bill benefits them, whereas those who do not want the bill to pass see that bill does not benefit them or those around them. Another thing that effects the process of a bill is the cost of resources. The government would lean toward the conservative method if it was just the beginning process and there was a smaller demand, but because the demand is so high, there needs to be mass production. This is where the liberal method comes in, because it is expensive when first building the factory but the mass production makes up for it in the long run. Even the outcome for the general public is looked at. If the bill does not seem to benefit the general public at all, it is hard to say the bill will be passed. The last thing that is looked at is the person general opinion. Everyone has an opinion on almost everything they see around them, some just do not say anything. Whether people realize it or not, everyone brings their opinion into a controversial topic, and there is not a way to not be biased about it. After looking at all the things that determine if a bill is considered and even passed, it is understandable as to why the debates takes months.
Every day there is a new voter being brought of age and has the right to vote for the upcoming elections, but how can you determine where they may stand on the scale of politics? The answer is a little complicated, as stated earlier, everyone has their own opinion of things. Some may vote one way and then the other way next time. Parental guidance tends to have an impact on the new coming votes as does the rest of their environment. Adapting to not feel out of place when they possibly decide to vote differently. A parent or peers can pressure the person into voting a certain way or to not vote at all. Another factor that helps determine is how educated the person is on daily events and even past events. Whether or not a person actually knows what is going on could possibly clear or blur the “vision” to seeing the truth. A person could be influenced by whether or not they care and if they do, how much they care. If a person convinces themselves to not care about the politics around them, they will be out of tune with the world around them. This also plays a role into whether or not they feel like their vote will matter. If the person does not feel like they make a difference, they will not attempt to make a difference. A person’s moral and personality also play a role in to their opinion as well. A group of people get along because they have common factors in their morals, personalities, and opinions.
After seeing all that will happen if humans made the wrong decision and vote the wrong person into office, it is clear to see that picking conservative is the best way to go. Looking around, there a millions of issues in this world, and plenty of new voters, that need to see that conservatives do have better views toward the environment in terms of methodology, resources, finances, and choosing which policy to follow. When deciding to help a new voters chose their side, remember in order to conserve the world, conservative is the way to go.
