| Description | Spend a day on the campaign trail, and you'll get an earful about what conservatives and liberals think of one another.
You'll hear things like "liberals are liberals. They wanna remake the world in their own image, which is, of course, contrary to the beliefs of conservatives."
And " The Democrats, the liberals, are more concerned about people. The conservatives are more concerned about greed."
Partisan stereotypes? Perhaps. But take a step back and ask how the members of each side got their beliefs. Could it be that your brain is wired liberal blue or conservative red? Some researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles and New York University believe they have the science to prove that very well may be the case. They tested their theory on college students and found that political orientation in large part depends on how our brains process information. |
