Nowadays, the political, philosophical, economical, and the social world are divided among two tendencies and theories that shape our position and point of view regarding some issues and topics. So, there are tendencies of the left or right, conservatism or liberal, socialism or capitalist. Those ideologies and tendencies are in the daily basis as the main topics of discussion in politics, economics, philosophy and society.
First of all, in politicians describe themselves as either from the right or left, conservatism or liberal. In the United States, either democrats (left) or republicans (right). Those who ten personally d to be in the left side favor for a big government, equal life conditions for every citizens, increase in taxes to finance social programs such as health care, social security, and affordable education for every children. Moreover, they see themselves as liberal who believe in the freedom and liberty of individual. For example the freedom of choice in case of abortion and same sex marriage. In other words, they tend not to interfere in people moral and believe that the government should not be dealing with or regulating that.
On the other side, we have those who describe are conservatists, in the right, republicans. Those who believe in those ideologies are the ones who support the equal opportunity for all the people. This means that each person according to his efforts and merits. They also vow for a strong and efficient military and tough and influential foreign policy. Regarding social issues facts and issues, they believe that the government should regulate people’s moral and ethics. That is why; their ideologies support moral and religious values while the same time stand against abortion and same sex marriage. All those tendencies are often and strongly debated in the politics in the matters of public policy.
Secondly, for economics, the same debate still goes on and is getting hotter in the way that both politicians and economist, people argue about whether or not the governments should involve, regulate, and interfere in the economy. Thus, those of the left as socialist, liberal believe that the government has such an important role to play in the economy; they can regulate it so that to avoid scandal and others mismanagement, inequalities of good’s distribution, and abuse.
On the opposite side, the right conservatist and capitalist want that the government should have less involvement in the regulation of the free market economy. The free market has to regulate itself in order to avoid some restrictions and violations of peoples’ rights and freedom by the government. In the same way, they support lower taxes, no government spending to finance social programs
In my opinion, I do believe that the government should regulate the entire economy in accordance of the business capitalist; because the recent financial and economic crisis can justify that the intervention of government in the economy is necessary and also one of the best options to not be taken apart.
