Altogether, their research showed that double standards (at least in financial markets) do exist around gender. They encourage

Some political scientists, such as Corey Robin , treat

Practices like these are, according to Botelho and Abraham, already being implemented in

He observed what he believed to be a double standard in the entertainment industry, saying, "if

3784-499: The application of a double standard and a valid application of different standards toward circumstances that only appear to be the same, several factors must be examined. One is the sameness of those circumstances – what are the parallels between those circumstances, and in what ways do they differ?

According to Quintin Hogg , the chairman of the British Conservative Party in 1959: "Conservatism is not so much a philosophy as an attitude, a constant force, performing a timeless function in the development of a free society, and corresponding to a deep and permanent requirement of human nature itself."

4752-560: The execution of Corneliu Zelea Codreanu and other top-ranking Romanian fascists.

5192-465: The leadership did not generally condemn Farrakhan, an act that led to enduring backlash. In April 2021, Tablet published an article by the researchers behind a study which found that, in contrast to the general consensus that education reduces antisemitism, more highly educated people may be more antisemitic. The survey was based on the concept of a double standard , and asked questions of respondents while showing them one of two examples, where only one

The most recent instance occurred in Bolivia in 2024, when General Juan José Zúñiga staged a coup in order to overthrow the far-left president Luis Arce . In

5544-402: The monarchists in contemporary France and Italy. The right extremists are conservative, not revolutionary.

From this perspective, conservatism

The hostility between

6336-516: The social hierarchy, which includes factors such as age, experience, and wisdom.

More specifically, conservatives tend to believe in traditional authority . According to Max Weber , this form of authority

6424-433: The source of corruption, decadence and decline. Ruling regimes require some kind of irritant, a grain of sand in the oyster, to reactivate their latent powers, to exercise their atrophied muscles, to make their pearls.

Scholars have tried to define conservatism as a set of beliefs or principles. Andrew Heywood argues that the five central beliefs of conservatism are tradition, human imperfection, organic society, authority/hierarchy, and property. Russell Kirk developed five canons of conservatism in The Conservative Mind (1953): Some political scientists, such as Samuel P. Huntington , have seen conservatism as situational. Under this definition, conservatives are seen as defending

6776-480: The treatment of the same political matters between two or more parties (such as the response to a public crisis or the allocation of funding) is handled differently. Double standard policies can include situations when a country's or commentator's assessment of the same phenomenon, process or event in international relations depends on their relationship with or attitude to the parties involved. In Harry's Game (1975), Gerald Seymour wrote: "One man's terrorist
