Here's a great graphic to help you understand what is typically considered "left" and "right" political values in the United States (click here for larger version):
This is kind of random, and unrelated, but I found this on the web and it made me think of this image. It seems like a neat teaching mechanism if the opportunity presents itself.
This is one of the videos I really liked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5um8QWWRvo&feature=related
And this one is about the 21st century enlightenment, and it talks briefly on civil liberties: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC7ANGMy0yo&feature=related
And if you like the second video, the PDF is available here: http://www.cognitivemedia.co.uk/shop.php
I know the videos are lengthy, but I just thought I'd share. Pretty neat stuff.
This ties in well with the "Professor is a label that leans to the left" article we read the other day. I never really considered the fact that whether a person leans left or right significantly affects their career choices. And yes, I agree that the chart itself certainly could appear biased, but how it does depends on who you ask. On one hand, it could be said that the chart portrays the Right as war-supporting and afraid of change, but it could also be argued that the Left is portrayed as hopless idealogical and unrealistic. Ah politics.
I have to agree, this illustration is definately biased on the left side, in my opinion. My mom is very nuturing and my family is definately on the right side of politics.
I agree with Colin. This chart does help explain why certain people have certain careers, such as the Stanford professor from the article. I also agree with the fact that it depends what your view point is to consider the chart as being biased or not.
I agree with those that say it depends on your opinions as to whether or not the chart is biased. If you have left views, than obviously the chart seems to be biased toward the left and makes it seem better. However, if you have right views, then you wouldn't see anything wrong with what it says on the right. So to say that the chart makes one side seem better than the other would be to realize that you may not have the views you thought you had.
Is it just me or does this seem slightly biased towards the left side? lol
