Different ideologies and ideas - Conservatism

 

Conservatism is a political ideology that values the creation and maintenance of stable societies based upon a hierarchy of power lodged in a traditional class of leaders and deep respect for traditional values and institutions. It also emphasizes the defense of order and stability in social life. Conservatism isn't suspicious of the power of the state nor does it seek to limit its power. Traditional institutions, such as government and religion, along with traditional values are to be respected. Consequently, conservatism is suspicious of change, and if change is required, it seeks an evolutionary approach rather than a revolutionary approach. Conservatism understood today has formalized in the eighteenth century as a reaction to the French Revolution and as a criticism of many trends in the Enlightenment. The creator of the main assumptions of conservatism is the Irish philosopher - Edmund Burke. Currently, conservatism occurs in a huge number of varieties, which often differ significantly in their postulates.
