Assignment Problem: Show me how to "Apply George Lakoff's theory to one political issue and explain why both liberals and conservatives would be for or against a policy preference. First must explain the family dynamics in both the Strict Father and Nurturant Parent models (explain in detail how the models work), then list, explain, and apply at least FOUR metaphors (Examples: Moral Order, Moral Nurturance, Moral Empathy and so on...) from each model (Strict Father & Nurturant Parent) to the issue position. For example, if you chose single-payer healthcare or Medicare-For-All as your issue, you will need to explain why a conservative would be opposed to or in favor of such a policy and then explain a liberal's opposition or preference for such a policy.
1. Pick any issue that interests you (same-sex marriage, gun rights, healthcare, wearing masks during Covid-19, January 6th Capitol Insurrection, etc.)
2. How the Strict Father and Nurturant Parent models work.
3. What are the dynamics in the family and outside world?
4. Why Strict Father (conservatives) and Nurturant Parent (liberals) would be in favor of or opposed to your issue position.
5. What metaphors that inform the conservative position from the metaphors in the Strict Father model (Moral Order, Moral Strength, Moral Self-interest, etc.)
6. What are the four metaphors that inform the liberal position from the metaphors in the Nurturant Parent model (Moral Empathy, Moral Social Nurturance, Moral Fair Distribution, etc.)
7. Explain and describe in detail each metaphor you choose and explain how they apply to the issue position of the liberal or conservative. What are the eight metaphors. For example, Moral Empathy requires you to feel what others feel, so a liberal might be in favor of same-sex marriage because it wouldn't feel nice not to be able to marry your life partner.
8. Fully describe the models, metaphors, and apply them in detail to showcase your understanding of Lakoff's theory.
