Have you ever felt pride in your country's past and how does it shape your view on its future?

Under President Biden, Jared Bernstein serves as Chair and Heather Boushey and Kirabo Jackson serve as Members of the CEA.

 @9JGRK28 from Connecticut  answered…1yr1Y

I feel pride in our country's growth from the past to the present and for the growth moving onto the future

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Can you think of a situation where strict government control could seem appealing to maintain order?

 @9HY8MKB from Maryland  answered…1yr1Y

Natural disasters and times of war or terrorist attacks

 @9HYTDM8 from Pennsylvania  agreed…1yr1Y

The role of a properly-constituted government is to protect the rights of its citizens. In certain circumstances, this may involve increased attention to detail in policing, limitations on the privileges afforded to citizens, and even the temporary suspension of common activities such as trade. However, a government loses its legitimacy (and its right to enforce law, by proxy) when it begins to transgress against the rights of its citizens.

 @9HYKMGL from Tennessee  agreed…1yr1Y

Strict government control could increase efficiency, and potentially be more coordinated then many separate bodies trying to provide aid.

 @9HY8ZP7 from Tennessee  answered…1yr1Y

During a war, I could see how Sociological Francoism could be appealing to those who are hoping that their country can quickly go back to how it was before the war, but that usually is never possible. Conserving some of those old values might be what put that country in the current war it is fighting, so maybe they need to start over in some ways.

 @9HY8MBQ from Delaware  answered…1yr1Y

It could be effective if crime gets to an all time high and the people do not follow social codes anymore.

 @9HY93LCWomen’s Equality from Georgia  answered…1yr1Y

For a time like now, the country is heavily divided, possibly on the verge of a Civil War. The government would need to step in to solve or mend the issues we are seeing.

 @9HYGV9Tdisagreed…1yr1Y

We are not on the "verge of a Civil War". The country is divided but that is not an issue that the government needs more involvment.

 @9HPML9D from California  answered…1yr1Y

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How much do you value individualism versus the collective good in your daily life?

 @9HTMKND from Florida  answered…1yr1Y

I value the type of individualism that says that everyone has the right to do anything as long as no damage is done to anyone else. But individualism should not be purely selfish, though it can act as protecting one's interest.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Should personal freedoms be sacrificed for the sake of maintaining traditional values and social order?

 @9HM5J63 from California  answered…1yr1Y

Depends on the traditional values and freedoms in question. If it gets in the way of making strong healthy families, and the base tiers of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to be fulfilled by the majority of the population, then yes.

 @9H8RNYYPeace and Freedom from North Carolina  answered…1yr1Y

 @9H8RGYQ  from Colorado  answered…1yr1Y

In a case where the "social order" or "traditional values" are detrimental to a group of people, it should be overturned and replaced with personal freedoms.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…12mos12MO

What personal sacrifice would you be willing to make for the perceived good of your nation?

 @9L2H2SD from Georgia  answered…12mos12MO

I would follow my country for the great or good of it no matter what it takes I'm willing to do it even though America is not really fascist.

 @9L2GR3K from Maryland  answered…12mos12MO

 @ISIDEWITHasked…12mos12MO

How would you define freedom in a society that emphasizes order and tradition?

 @9L2CS86 from Texas  answered…12mos12MO

Freedom in our society is considered a right we have the right to freedom but it is given to us and as soon as we don't follow these laws we will lose the right.

 @9L2CWRDLibertarian from New Jersey  answered…12mos12MO

Making everyone have the same traditions and stuff would be terrible. That’s what I’m getting out of this anyway.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

In what ways has the idea of a 'strong leader' influenced your opinion on how a country should be run?

 @9HXZZ9Y from Georgia  answered…1yr1Y

A strong leader should be head stronger but also have integrity and honesty to gain trust from their people.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

When have you had to choose between fitting in and being true to your values, and what did you learn from that decision?

 @9HV368R from Delaware  answered…1yr1Y

My grandparents expected me to be fluent in my parents native language. As a child it was a lot to take in all the languages and became confusing. I learned to be true to myself and give myself the time to learn what I could from each of my parents languages and background even if I was not the expert of each.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Is there a tradition in your life that you’d fight to preserve? If so, what is it?

 @9JDDFKW from North Carolina  answered…1yr1Y

The consistent points in Franco's ideology (termed Francoism) included authoritarianism, nationalism, national Catholicism, militarism, conservatism, anti-communism, and anti-liberalism.

 @9JDDVBBRepublican from California  answered…1yr1Y

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Is there a place in modern society for strong nationalistic feelings, and how do they affect international relations?

 @9J7LS2C from Utah  answered…1yr1Y

Strong nationalism, when given too much power, severely impacts foreign relations in a negative way, as some strong nationalists promote their interests for their own country, even if it impacts others. However, nationalism to a certain degree is not necessarily harmful, and citizens should be allowed to support and advocate for their country. It only becomes an issue when it is a detriment to other countries.

 @9J7LS5YRepublicananswered…1yr1Y

There is and I believe you should be all in for your country and if you are not, you can move somewhere else.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How would you balance the importance of national unity with the value of individual and regional differences?

 @9H65NGD from Utah  answered…1yr1Y

Politics should be more separate from. Religion as Religion is too leaned towards beliefs of a small group and less towards the wants and needs of the whole people

 @9H65JXP from Missouri  answered…1yr1Y

"Sociological Francoism" is a term I learned about through this website, and I find it a bit ridiculous that it's listed under ideologies here. It's Spanish fascism and there doesn't seem to be need to demarcate it differently in the English language section of this website. Spanish language section? Sure, it makes perfect sense. English language section - do you really expect anyone to recognize this?

Nevertheless, my uninformed American self will make an attempt to answer. Spain is in the EU. The end-goal of the European Union is a federal Europe; most Euroskeptic…  Read more

In regards to uniform education, I really don’t believe it has an affect on creativity and critical thinking.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Do you think it is fair for certain historical narratives to be given more attention than others in shaping a national identity?

 @9HPMDHYLibertarian from Texas  answered…1yr1Y

I think some historical events are glossed over, such as the Japanese in WWII committing horrific crimes like in Unit 731 and that the nukes were justified given more evidence coming out like the US air force weeks prior dropping thousands of leaflet warnings in Japanese to the civilians to evacuate.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…12mos12MO

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

What social or cultural sacrifices would you accept for the sake of national security?

 @9JDBZ39 from Louisiana  answered…1yr1Y

Francoism in Spanish politics caused a lot of hurt for Spanish citizens, and a good country is founded on balance. Sacrificing some personal freedom for the safety of the country is okay, but all personal freedom is not.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Have you ever found comfort in adhering to a tradition—why or why not?

 @9JG3LM9 from Idaho  answered…1yr1Y

despite being otherwise uncommon phrases in modern English. We can look to the Founder's choice of definitions for treason for a little guidance, but ultimately the definition is going to come down to legal interpretation in any given case.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Have you ever noticed a fear of change in your community and how do you think that impacts progress?

 @9J72RXQIndependent from California  answered…1yr1Y

I feel that most people always fear change because it is unknown. For example, when COVID-19 hit, many people in my town, and everywhere else in the world, grew worried and panicked. Many rushed to buy goods in the fear that there would be a shortage and many worried for loved ones and tried to get everybody vaccinated.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Have you ever felt pressured to conform to social norms that didn't fit your personal beliefs, and how did you handle it?

How do you perceive the role of a centralized authority in guiding societal values and ethics?
