Being in an american family you come across these two words often. In my family it's clear as to which partisan they are; but I never quite knew what each party believed in being right or wrong.
Now I know.
Some of the differences of what they believe in are below:
Abortion is the killing of a human, the fetus is considered to be alive and it is un manly to kill a future baby. The government should never provide any type of abortions for woman, it is frowned upon. Death Penalty is supported, the murderer who took the life of an innocent person should be punished through death, it isn't considered to be a cruel or unusual act. Education revolves around the competition between students to improve their studies. Parents can choose from a variety of good schools to send their children to. Global Warming is a natural thing that is happening to the earth on its own over a long period of time, humans have nothing to do with the warming of the earth. | Abortion is the decision of the woman, she has the right to choose what to do with her body. The fetus is not considered a living thing. The government should provide woman funded abortions for those who cant afford it. Death Penalty is an inhuman act towards people, an unusual and cruel act towards prisoners, they should be imprisoned. Education is improved when taught in smaller classes and when teachers have higher salaries. Public schools are the best places for students be educated at. Global Warming in the world is due to the burning of fossil fuels and the increase in production of carbon dioxide. Humans have the fault. |
These two parties are o p p o s i t e s when it comes to a discussion. They will never come to any agreements. If you are a p a r t i s a n it means you belong to a political party. It is possible that you agree with both parties, where your opinion varies depending on the topic you are talking about. Neither of their beliefs are wrong, they are just different when it comes to what is "right" or "wrong" for the country.
