You believe in promoting social justice, individual rights, and equal opportunities for all through progressive policies and government intervention.
Modern Liberalism, also known as social liberalism, is a political ideology that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a response to the industrialization and urbanization that occurred during the Industrial Revolution. It is characterized by a belief in a strong role for government in the economy and social affairs, a commitment to the welfare state, and a belief in the protection of civil liberties and human rights.
The roots of modern liberalism can be traced back to the Age of Enlightenment in the 18th century, when philosophers such as John Locke and Jean-Jacques…

How do you think your local area could be improved by a government policy focused on community development?
@9LDXYT31yr1Y
I think that it'd probably be easier to walk around places, more places for kids to play, easier to get to stores or to buy things you need.
@9LDY24H1yr1Y
I think my local area could be more improved by keeping all the farmlands around us.
We should have more money towards public transportation.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In your opinion, should healthcare be a right provided by the state, and why?
@9H57CYZLibertarian2yrs2Y
yes, because healthcare helps a person stay healthy and alive
@mp4784164 2yrs2Y
Why do we need health insurance companies? Costs more money for no reason! Healthcare is a fundamental right. Healthcare, not Wealthcare.
@9H9KWM92yrs2Y
Basic human right is to be able to afford and receive healthcare
@9H57GM32yrs2Y
Healthcare should not be provided by the government as free 100%. Every procedure should cost something. The bureaucracy of the health care billing system should be overhauled. This is a large percantage of healthcare costs. Health checkups should be subsidized.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If your government took a more active role in regulating food quality, how might that influence your eating habits or health?
@9L6YDGB1yr1Y
I might actually eat a bit healthier or at least ssomething that wont give me heart disease
@9L6YLTZ1yr1Y
it would make me eat healthier because I would now whats in my food and the impact it has on me.
@9L6ZVZX1yr1Y
It would help benefit people to actually watch what they are eating and to discover ways to start a healthy lifestyle in terms of food.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How could police reform initiatives impact your perception of safety and justice in your community?
@9JHNZ8X1yr1Y
It could leave citizens in danger, we need policemen and women.
@9JHPHNMIndependent1yr1Y
Police reform would not do much for my community seeing as it is a low crime community.
@9JHNTB61yr1Y
They should do nothing, they are fine how they are
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would your daily life be affected if your city adopted a 'Green New Deal' type of environmental policy?
My day would change by what I drive or what I eat.
@9JHQ3W71yr1Y
It would probably not change too much, but more for the better.
We wouldn’t see so much road kill and trash on the side of the roads
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In what ways has the education system shaped your views on equality and opportunity?
@9HZ2DW81yr1Y
Sure, give equal opportunity, but making sure that people are actually taking advantage of it. If they aren't, it is their fault that they fall behind and not the fault of those who succeed.
@9HZ222YIndependent1yr1Y
there is not enough but it has somewhat increased throughout the years
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How can a more equal society benefit your immediate community?
@9HVC6LLConstitution1yr1Y
More equal society will benefit our community because with equal things we will think it's fair and treat each other equally.
More equal, and more opportunities, they start at the same level playing field.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can governmental policies truly solve issues of social justice, or is that something that society must address on its own?
@9H6VBCF2yrs2Y
By enforcing equal rights and voting opportunities to all races and genders, the government has done all it can do. It is the responsibility of society from here onwards.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What is your perspective on the balance between free market competition and consumer protection?
@9HTT748 1yr1Y
The conservatives embody the idea of modern liberalism more than actual liberals do. They want to put laws in place to make their state their own special safe space, free of men wearing dresses and uncomfortable medical procedures. They all pick and choose from their morals and the past to push their own agendas. They spout their love of traditions and traditional values while their iconic look includes active disrespect of the US flag, that not even the citizens of our enemies portray. They point these things out the minority of liberals doing the same because they're self conscious of… Read more

What's one change you'd like to see in the educational system that could lead to more equal opportunities?
@9KMZPKS1yr1Y
Incorporate more opportunities so there can be a diversity in many activities
Free tutors and extra help for those who need it, many children do not have help at home and need extra in the classroom to succeed
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What would you consider a fair immigration policy that balances empathy and national security concerns?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Have you ever felt disadvantaged by the current economic system, and what change would you propose?
I have felt disadvantaged by our economic system through college tuition. I would make it a bit cheaper.
@9HZ3HLQ1yr1Y
I feel that our current economic system exacerbates pre-existing inequalities. I would propose higher taxes on the wealthy and more social programs to create better social mobility for the working class.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What do you think is the most significant challenge facing young people today, and how could government intervention help?
@9J6X26Z1yr1Y
Alcoholic beverages and universities.
The government could help by creating more associations of "Alcoholics Anonymous" and regarding universities, they could be less expensive and have easier payments.
@9J6VXC6Progressive1yr1Y
Communication inability, worrying a bit too much on not slightly hurting everyone.
We need to be confident and direct and clear with were we stand even if there is a little discomfort.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do you think the government should support families with children to ensure they have equal opportunities?
@9LGLDMJ1yr1Y
the government should support the families with the children to ensure that they have equal opportunities or rights about and they have to that the children need support from their families and have an opportunities to do something in the life they do.
@9LGL47V1yr1Y
i just think the government needs to decrease the cost of collage/universities so both the family and the student is able to get a higher education without having to worry about any kind of debt.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If education were entirely state-funded, how do you think that would affect the quality and accessibility of education?
@9LFGGCHRepublican1yr1Y
The accessibility of education & the quality of it would make kids have the opportunities to get the education that they deserve. It would have a higher chance of kids getting a actual degree in college & the tuition was covered. But there some education in schools that do not need to be taught.
@9LFFRTK1yr1Y
I think it could improve the quality and accessibility of education.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What role do you believe the state should play in regulating the housing market?
@McKann26Republican1yr1Y
I agree that the federal government should play no role in the housing market and it is strictly an individual matter aside from loans from the bank.
@9KNCF3P1yr1Y
I think the government should play a small role in the housing market.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you were to volunteer or work for a government agency, which one would you choose and why?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What personal experiences have made you value or question the importance of individual rights?
@9L2QTBPConstitution1yr1Y
individual rights are very important to ake sure we are safe and treated right
@9L2QQWF1yr1Y
The importance of rights and peoples opinion on things have made me value the importance of individual rights.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Considering recent events, how should governments adapt to protect both public health and the economy?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Could you foresee any consequences, positive or negative, if college education was publicly funded?
@9JJQ2YN1yr1Y
Positive because more people would be able to go to college.
@9JJPBDKIndependence1yr1Y
Positive for people who needed financial help and can help people go to collage if thy wanted to.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Can a country have both strong economic growth and high standards of environmental protection – how?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How might increased government funding for scientific research affect future job markets?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would your priorities in life change if education debt was not an issue for you or your family?
@9HVM9PH1yr1Y
I would try to save the money from my job for my family instead of paying of debt of education
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Do you think high school curriculum should include financial literacy, and how would that affect future generations?
@9HZP3SZ1yr1Y
I do. Knowing how to safely manage your money is a very important skill that you are going to use throughout your entire life, and the sooner you start, the more experience you will have.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What does 'equality of opportunity' mean to you and can you give an example from your life?
@9HQ7BYZ2yrs2Y
right now it’s not working so going back to old liberalism is the way to go
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What does social mobility mean to you, and how can it be achieved?
@9HZ5G9G1yr1Y
Social mobility is the ability for a person of one social class to become that of another, usually higher, social class. This is usually done through work
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you feel about the government's role in redistributing wealth to address income inequality?
@9HQ8QQJ2yrs2Y
I feel that more should be done, because my generation is suffering and we are facing so many financial challenges that we can't do anything about.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would the implementation of a universal basic income change your life plans or aspirations?
@9J74QFY1yr1Y
It combines ideas of civil liberty and equality with support for social justice. Economically, modern liberalism supports government regulation on private industry and opposes corporate monopolies.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Can there be true equality in a capitalist society, and what would that look like?
@9K9Q3ZK1yr1Y
I don't think true equality is possible in our capitalist society. There's too many factors in our society to make everyone 'equal'.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Have you ever felt that your voice mattered in a government decision, and why or why not?
@9K9KBT91yr1Y
No, simply because i am only 17 therefore I don't have a big voice as of right now.
