Question

(Q001) Maintaining personal freedoms is most characteristic of __________ political culture, whereas upholding certain social norms is most characteristic of __________ political culture.

Answer 1

The correct answers are "individualistic and "traditionalistic."

Maintaining personal freedoms is most characteristic of individualistic political culture, whereas upholding certain social norms is most characteristic of traditionalistic political culture.

For instance, that is why in the United States, citizens' liberties are so much valued and are part of the US Constitution, specifically in the Bill of Rights that is the first ten amendments to the US Constitution. Here you find the freedom of speech or the freedom of the press or the freedom of religion. There are other countries where the government is more traditionalistic and tries to keep certain control over people's liberties. That could be the case of Cuba or Venezuela.

Answer 2

Individualistic; traditionalistic.

Step-by-step explanation:

An individualistic political culture, as the exercise explains, is a practise that values multiculutralism where the government is as small as it is required, an utilitarian necessity, opposite to the tradicionalistic which accepts a natural hierarchy (tradition) in society, with an authoritarian leadership that values politics and religion. That's what the exercise is explaining, the individualistic and traditionalistic, as their names suggest, values personal freedom and, the other, values the social norms of a certain tradition.
