Thats a funny way of thinking. From your logic, conservatives think that they are better than people below them so thet don't deserve rights, whereas liberals think that people below them do deserve rights. Still, I dont see how a liberal idea, such as letting women vote, is wrong because women should earn the right for themselves. The actual answer for why educated people are more liberal is qutie simple. The more educated you are the more likely you are exposed to be exposed to other cultures and ideas. An educated man meets different types of people at his university, is introduced to many ideas in his studies, and has more money and reason to travel and encoutner differing ideas and cultures. An uneducated person does have these opportunities, and thus is more likely to give more weight to the ideas of his original social community. |
Your idea that higher education exposes people to differant cultures and ideas is a good one. Many colleges in the United states are dominated by liberal thinking. I even go to a very Conservative college and I am still required to take courses that promote greater understanding of the world outside of the US. I am taught by molstly liberal professors who influence me and my other fellow students with there libral ideas. Mostly, like caring about the enviornment, accepatance of differant cultures, genders, races and sexuality. You wont see this in other places, like some young man working construction instead of going to school. Higher education in my experience definantly has a liberal bias, even at a not so liberal school.
