I think that Traditional Liberalism is the most promising way to organize society because it favors individualism, capitalism and a secular government. First, individualism allows everyone to work and gain socioeconomic status for themselves. I believe that both parents deserve a sense of purpose that gives them another dynamic in their life beyond raising their children. I grew up in a household with working parents and I do not resent them for it. Households like these give children a sense of self-responsibility and helps socialize them by allowing them to interact more with people outside the family such as friends, parents of friends, and babysitters. Overall, children will be more independent as they learn how to be more social and responsible.

They also believe that society is to work as a “social fabric” - a system in which men and women have unique roles that complement each other to accomplish family responsibilities (Traditional Conservatism Lecture). Conservatives believe freedom is living in accordance with traditions and customs which, in the United States, are the traditional gender-divided family roles: women are to be domestic (taking care of the children and the house) while men are to work outside the house (making money) (Traditional Conservatism Lecture). Children benefit from their mother staying at home because they feel more secure, have more stable home lives, and build strong bonds with their mother. I disagree and believe that children should have the right to be responsible for themselves to help begin independence from their parents. I believe that in order for parents to provide more for their children, both parents should be able to work (including overtime hours), while the kids are at school.This also gives the children another role model as they watch not only their father, but also their mother provide for them. I think parents should still monitor their children to make sure that they are on a positive developmental path. I think that if a child is constantly watched -whether it is by a parent, teacher or another adult - when they go to college or live …show more content…
Capitalism is organized so the wealthier, more powerful people exploit the working class. Workers are exploited by capitalists who use strategies, such as wage cuts, longer work days, and intensified workloads, to increase profits. This causes workers to work longer hours for less pay (Marxism Lecture). Thus, capitalism traps workers in their lower class and should be changed, according to Marxists, to allow workers fairer working conditions. For example, they should have the right to not work overtime to make company profits. I disagree that capitalism exploits workers, and think that instead it actually creates opportunities for them (Classic Liberalism Lecture). Capitalism gives people the opportunity to move up in class by working hard. It also allows creators of new companies to enjoy the well earned profits of their hard work and success instead of loosing that benefit to pay the workers more so they can be at an equal economic standing to the creator. Equality should not be inherent. If a new person is hired, why should they receive the same salary as a worker who has been there for much longer and worked hard to earn his salary? If everyone got the same pay, what would motivate people to work hard and
