Neoconservatism and paleoconservatism

Neoconservatism and Paleoconservatism are two different types of conservatism. Conservatism is an idea of keeping things the same and not changing them because people think that the way things are right now is the best way.

Neoconservatism is when people think that it's OK to make changes to the current system if it makes it better. They believe in using the government to help improve the economy and promote traditional family values.

Paleoconservatism is when people think that it is wrong to change things just based on what is popular or trendy; they think that the old ways of doing things are the best ways, and it should remain that way. They don't believe that the government should have much power in society, and they don't support any type of social programs that are designed to help people.
