Evaluate same-sex marriage from a conservative perspective and from a liberal perspective. Would conservative and social conservative viewpoints be the same? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Note that, generally speaking, conservatives favor the status quo and making change only slowly, whereas liberals are more in favor of rapid change to promote equality.
2. Discuss why this means that liberals would more likely favor same-sex marriage than conservatives.
3. Indicate that there might be some differences between conservatives and social conservatives. While both conservatives and social conservatives would likely oppose same-sex marriage, they would do so on different grounds. Social conservatives tend to believe that same-sex marriage is inconsistent with the traditional moral teachings that government should promote.
