Abstract
The traditional left-right political spectrum we use to place politicians platforms is outdated. We carried this spectrum over from the French, and any citizen would be hard pressed to be able to even accurately define what the spectrum is measuring. We all know that on the right side sit the Republicans and those with conservative thoughts, and the farther right you go the more conservative you feel. We also all know that on the left sit the liberals, who tend to fight for liberty and equality for all. The farther left you go the more you feel strongly about these liberal values. But what exactly are these liberal and conservative values? What does it really say to me when someone describes, say John Kerry as a democrat who falls the left of the political spectrum? It is because of this and other arguments I will mention that I wrote my paper about alternatives to the conventional left-right political spectrum.
