The Political Spectrum
Where do you fit in?Slide4Slide5
What is the political spectrum?
Let’s start by looking at the horizontal (or more traditional) axis!
Radical
Moderate
Reactionary
Liberal
ConservativeSlide6
What is “the left”?
People that are on the left of the political spectrum tend to be more future or forward thinkers.
This means that they are not satisfied with the way things are right now and that “the answers” can be found in new ideas.
Liberals do this in a non-violent manner, while radicals will use violence if necessary to make their point.Slide7
What is “the right”?
People that are on the right of the political spectrum tend to be more past thinkers.
This means that they are not satisfied with the way things are right now and that “the answers” can be found in old ideas or the way things used to be.
Conservatives do this in a non-violent manner, while reactionaries will use violence if necessary to make their point.Slide8
What is “the middle”?
People that are in the middle of the political spectrum tend to be more present thinkers.
This means that they are satisfied with the way things are right now and that we currently have “the answers.”
People that are moderates will not resort to violence because they are satisfied with the way everything is.Slide9
What about the vertical axis?
Authoritarian
Centrist
LibertarianSlide10
What is “above the line”?
People that are above the horizontal line of the political spectrum
tend to want the gov’t to take more control in their lives
.
This means that they are
not satisfied
with the way things are right now and
believe that the gov’t has “the answers.”
Again, people on the edge believe in violence if necessary for their cause.Slide11
What is “below the line”?
People that are below the horizontal line of the political spectrum
tend to want to remove the gov’t from their daily lives
.
This means that they are
not satisfied
with the way things are right now and
believes that individual man can make his own choices without gov’t interference
.
Again, people on the edge believe in violence if necessary for their cause.Slide12
What is “the middle”?
People that are in the middle of the vertical axis line of the political spectrum
are acceptable of some gov’t involvement, but not total
involvement.
This means that they
are satisfied
with the way things are right now.
People that are centrist are not violent.Slide13
What determines where I am on the political spectrum?
Economic issues such as:
Taxes
Healthcare
Social Security
Gov’t spending
Rules on businesses
Social issues such as:
Abortion
Gun ControlGay RightsImmigrationGender / Racial Situations
Typically, a person’s political ideology is determined by how they feel about two different factors.
