way, but that people should collectively make society better as a whole. So
I value personal freedom and expression heavily over traditional values, and
agree with any progressive changes that society makes away from the norm.
I’m strongly inclined towards tender positions rather than tough positions. I
believe that kindness and compassion in political and regular life can make the society better as
a whole.
I think that political office should be held by those qualified to a certain extent, but given
the option between a qualified candidate and a candidate that I think is a better person, I would
I think that the government should be large enough to play a small supporting role in
social and political equality, along with its more traditional roles of military protection and
security.
Prompt:
unsurprised by what the quiz had to say about me. I’m a progressive because I’ve had a non
traditional upbringing, and have friends, who are, to put it nicely, very untraditional.
This progressivism manifests itself heavily in my beliefs about individualism, where,
maintaining the rights to express yourself and better yourself, free from the social and political
oppression of collective entities, is what being a progressive and an individualist are to me. On
the other hand, my tender side makes me sympathetic to the idea that working for what’s better
for everyone rather than for yourself, is in fact, better than everyone. I think these ideas reflect
themselves clearly in my everyday life, my need to work independently from others, or to instead
work for everyone else, and, often messy disregard for rules and simple specifications for
assignments.
