Although the two aforementioned dimensions have been recovered widely in previous research, the relations between these two dimensions have tended to vary across samples, both within and between cultures (e.g., [Duckitt], 2001; [Duriez] et al., 2005). In some samples, the two dimensions are nearly independent, but in other samples the relations are much stronger. In an attempt to understand these variations, Duckitt and colleagues (Duckitt, 2001; Duckitt et al., 2002) and Duriez et al. (2005) have hypothesised that the strength of the relation between the two dimensions depends on the national political context and on the characteristics of the respondents. With regard to between-culture differences, Duckitt and colleagues suggested that the relations between the two dimensions are stro...

In Political Science one can observe various discourses to defining the essence of libertarianism, which are based on (Boaz, 1998) different philosophical approaches to the institutions of central political power (especially the state). Today, interpretations of right-libertarian ideological complex are most popular in the scientific literature and in the popular imagination. Yet, since the middle of 19th century - the concept of libertarianism had been used in a left political context, and only in 1950s its right ideological context use came into fashion. The authors consider the left libertarianism (libertarian socialism) as series of theoretical principles and the socio-political practices aimed at the liberation of both individuals and collectives of people from various kinds of opp...

When reserves were first established, Canadian culture and political mindset were vastly different. As [Michael Melanson] states, Canada is a democratic nation. That means living here has rights and responsibilities. It is my opinion that reserves don't work and haven't for quite some time. It's time they became a thing of the past and were replaced with towns and communities where people work, own homes, and have a real choice in how to lead their lives. Maybe then, the majority of First Nations people could truly grow and prosper with something of their own to strive for instead of the current system of reserves, poverty, and dependency.
