It belive that government should not interfare in the market/economy and follow the phyloshphy of less government more governance. But at the same time it is very traditional in respect of social issues or activities like, abortion, marriage, Contraception and other social activities. It is against of , abortion, same sex marriage, Contraception etc. According to it it is against of social culture and natural values and could not be acceptable in the US. Other side Democratic think opposit. AS per the Democratic ideology the govenment should intervene in the economy and activily participate in economy and social services. The government to watch the economic activities and and trying to maximize the social welfare though social security benefits related to health, education, unemployment benefits. The government should regulate the economy to well being of social and national interest. Other side the Democratic support the abortion, marriage, Contraception. The Democratic ideology is against of the intervention of the governemt in the social and personal issue and the gov ernment should respect the social culture, individual's value, belief and thought process. The governmemt should regulate the economy only and social and cultuaral activities.
