We should maintain the right to free expression, even if some people use it to create trouble.
New roads and railways should be built by the government, not private companies.
Children should always obey their parents.
No woman should be allowed to have an abortion, whatever the circumstances.
A person's social status should depend on who their parents are.
Economic globalisation will increase inequality.
