Terrorism: Conservatism In The United States

Conservatism has been very strong in the United States since the 1930s until now. This has been shown over the past eighty years in politics with many government officials cautious about change and keeping to traditional values. This also goes for the citizens of this country as more and more households around the world are becoming more conservative and are teaching their kids these ways.

Therefore, more issues should be a concern of the entirety of the government due to the fact of the massive support. The more support, the easier it is to resolve these problems and make a better world to live in. A better world to live in means less problems and issues, and ultimately a better and safer environment for
