Kirk and Heywood on Conservatism

The ideas of consevatism that we see today have the same ideas as traditional conservatism, but they are not as upfront. People tend to be more socially conservative than political. Religious and family values are highly treasured. What we have found out from the readings from both Kirk and Heywood is that conservatise goes beyond an ideology, but into a way of life. Conservatism is merely a way to avoid conflict. The dangerous thought of change brought up by liberalism can bring up revolution and tyrany. But with conservatism the risk is diminished, keeping potential conflicts out of sight. Conbservatives to not reject change, but they are against drastic change. Things come with time and people cannot force it, or else revolution can occur
