→Who's "Liberal", anyway?
In a world of rainbow colors, it can be hard to decide with are "black" and which are "white". <SARCASM>Strangely, it's been my experience that no more than about 5% of Democrats actually have Mark-of-the-Beast tattoos and smell like brimstone, and only about 2% of Republicans actually have wings and a halo.</SARCASM> --[[User:Gulik2|Gulik2]] 03:36, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

Gulik2 is absolutly right. See Perry (1970) 'Forms of Intellectual Development in the College Year: A scheme'. Perry says that intellectual development occurs as follooow:
# Dualism - a simple interpreation of the world as black/white, us/them , good/bad etc.
# Multiplictiy -= an acceptance that there are different points of view and they cannot be simply labelled good/bad etc.
# Relativism - requires that the different points of view are contextualiised, and that knowledge/behaviour in one context may be perfectly acceptable and correct, may not be appropriate in another.
Hm. Think Ill write an article about this...--[[User:CatWatcher|CatWatcher]] 03:55, 28 April 2007 (EDT)
