Sociopolitical conservatism

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George W. Bush is a typical representative of social conservatism

The socio-political conservatism ( English social conservatism , whereby social stands for "social") is as a political ideology and as part of the right-wing spectrum a form of conservatism , which mainly relates to socio-political issues. Their representatives often belong to the Christian right and often come from evangelicalism or arch-Catholicism .

They put the preservation of traditional values at the center of their actions, which is also known as value conservatism . For example, they are generally skeptical of social change and criticize the successes of ( left ) liberals since the 20th century, such as the avant-garde , the 1968 movement , the sexual revolution , the legalization of abortion , prenatal diagnostics , and the facilitation of the Divorce , the introduction of same-sex marriage , early sexualization and euthanasia . As part of the right to life movement , they particularly advocate the protection of life from conception ( nidation ) to natural death, as well as the protection of the traditional family with classic roles. In addition, fundamental rights and patriotism are often very important to them. By their opponents and sometimes as a self-designation, they are counted as a reaction and efforts to reverse changes that are perceived as negative are referred to as backlashes .
