Cultural conservatism

Cultural conservatism is a belief in preserving traditional values, customs, and social norms that have historically shaped a community or society. It emphasizes stability, continuity, and respect for established practices, often resisting rapid change or unfamiliar influences. Cultural conservatives aim to maintain their cultural identity and moral standards, believing that such traditions provide social cohesion and guidance. While not necessarily opposed to progress, they prefer gradual evolution over abrupt shifts, valuing the wisdom embedded in long-standing cultural practices.
