RLGA02H3 Lecture 10: Lecture 10 Notes

Discuss how the rise of fundamentalism among the world’s major religions might challenge traditional notions of state sovereignty. How does this trend strengthen or weaken the United Nations and other attempts to create supranational authority?

3. How have the two political cultures of Texas, individualism and traditionalism, been reflections classical liberalism and social conservatism?

Where liberalism implies a limited government, here in the United States a liberal is not usually seen as supporting a smaller government. This can be very confusing. In an effort to better understand these various meanings, we need to explore the variations within liberalism itself.

So who would like to explain how modern liberalism varies from classical liberalism? In addition, in what ways is classical liberalism similar to conservatism today?
