All people have beliefs. But not all people have the same beliefs. Where do your beliefs come from? They come from your experience of life. Throughout your life you will be exposed to countless ideas – religious, scientific, political, and cultural. Some of these ideas are accepted while others are rejected. Those ideas you accept eventually form a clear set of beliefs and values which is important to you because • they guide your decision making • they provide you with ideals and goals • they order your activities • they give meaning to your life

A brief way to describe the difference would be to say that left wingers believe the country is more important than the individual, and right wingers believe that the individual is more important than the country.

18. LEFT WING
Left wingers believe that governments are a force for social justice and change, and so should intervene in individual’s lives to ensure social justice is achieved.

19. RIGHT WING
Right wingers believe that governments are big and unwieldy and so should not interfere with people’s lives at all. They believe that government interference contravenes an individual’s right to liberty.

20. LEFT WING
Left wingers believe in substantial equality. They argue that not every individual is the same and so government policy should be aimed to create substantial rather than just formal equality. Examples of left wing substantial equality include affirmative action and social and cultural rights.

21. RIGHT WING
Right wingers believe in formal equality. They believe that everyone should be treated equally under the law and should be treated equally by government. Examples of right wing formal equality include equal pay for equal work and civil and political rights.
