"Let's ALL Hug & Do it our Way" :)

I never really put in any thought about the difference between being liberal or conservative. I never really thought politics of being interesting at all.  Every situation varies. Lakoff’s framing of the strict father vs. the nurturant parent role made it simple enough to understand both sides. It’s a game of good cop and bad cop. It seems the strict father role is the bad cop because they are very firm with their decisions .They believe in idependence and nothing is wrong with that. The problem with how society might view conservatives; they are viewed as pessimistic assholes. Conservatives are the representation of strength. Their opinions may feel that it will build our country strong. Prison and the death penalty it’s some examples of their way of punishment. We grow from punishment. It molds us into a better person and opens our perception beyond what was already there and it’s keeps building.

We all view punishment differently. We all have different views of politics. It’s laid out there your either conservative or liberal. When voting time comes your either republican or a democrat and when your speaking to someone on the opposing side; you can tell their slightly offended. Many individuals are probably torn in between. No one wants to be a bad guy, but it will seem to be a bit naïve if you’re alright will all bad behavior or keep giving out slaps on the wrist.  I haven’t figured out which side I’m on just yet. I feel like I fall in the middle. I feel that I am all for punishment but then I don’t feel like it’s the solution for everything. My opinion is still up in the air.

Liberals are very nurturing and supportive. Liberals believe in equal in opportunities. Nurturing requires a lot of care and understanding. They build a great support system. A good support system also would help American become strong. They help to find balance so everyone wins. They are very overprotective and are willing to give a helping hand. They represent the good cop in this situation.  In the reading it was stated that being liberal resembles the female role in a family. Although their outlook on things is very positive, sometimes it may seem as they don’t have a voice.

If a man is in charge then he is right without any discussion. That shows no equality. Each side seems very sketchy. As long as there is some disagreement in things and disciplined is expressed then both sides have authority.  They may not have authority over each other because everything is really different. No one actually wants to hear the opposing teams’ side. For example; that’s like discussing issues and working things out in a debate. Liberals would love that but conservatives might find it as a sign a weakness. You can’t be a winner if you won’t stand up for what you believe in. It's a never ending debate!!
