POL113H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: The Good Life, Cud, Neoconservatism
Document Summary
Community (local community, organic connection between humans). Not against individual, but it"s a mistake to focus on the individual first. Emphasis on past, but not on human history. If we put too much focus on history, we"ll find too much injustice. Do you really want to know the reality? . Most people can"t handle the historical facts. Supposed to have warm, comforting feelings about your past that are unaffected by the facts. Most of us don"t want to think about the past. We need structure and organization, not freedom. You want to be told what to, how to solve complex problems. If left on your own, you"ll screw up. We should direct people and guide them. Shouldn"t imagine that people are more capable than they are. The institutions are here to help you. They"re not here to enlighten you, but to get you to find and accept your appropriate slot in society.
