There are at least two ideological perspectives in this
quote. The quote shows aspects of both conservatism and
liberalism.
Liberalism is the idea that societies and
governments must be changing constantly so as to face the challenges of the future.
Liberalism holds that the old ways should be abandoned when new challenges arise. This
attitude can be seen in the quote since it talks about the need to be "progressive" and
to "explore the future."
At the same time, there is
conservatism in this quote. Conservatives hold that the old ways are best. This is
because they have been tested and been proven to be effective. They believe that we
should stick with what has worked rather than changing because we
think something else will work. This is reflected in the
idea of maintaining values that is discussed in this quote.
