Is America Conflictual or Consensual?

          I believe that america is conflictual because of how divided we all are. So this means that we as americans don't work together well all a whole. In my opinion i believe that there is more than just one conflictual group. One example is of conflictual groups is Republicans and Democrats. These two groups have very similar ideas but also have different views on certin topics. For example Republicans perfer small governments and a more traditional way of living while the Democrats like a big government and like changes in living. Also in the David brooks article he compares the red america and the blue america. The blue america was described as modern, secular, and self expressive. The red america was described as traditional, religious, and self desiplined. So as it shows these two groups would end up clashing because of all of the differences.



In this picture it shows that people are protesting on how they feel about gay rights verses how other people feel about the. So this could cause clashing because everybody has there opinion on things and this is one of them.
