Cultural conservatism is described as the preservation of the heritage of one nation, or of a shared culture that is not defined by national boundaries.^[1] Other variants of cultural conservatism are concerned with culture attached to a given language such as Arabic or Icelandic.

The shared culture may be as divergent as Western culture or Chinese culture.

Cultural conservatism is distinct from social conservatism, although there are some overlaps. Social conservatives believe that the government has a role in encouraging or enforcing what they consider traditional values or behaviors. A social conservative wants to preserve traditional morality and social mores, often through civil law or regulation. Social conservatives generally view any social change as suspect, rather than just those related to culture or cultural tradition.

United States

In the US, cultural conservative may imply a conservative position in the culture wars.

An example of a cultural conservative in the broader sense is Allan Bloom, arguing in The Closing of the American Mind against cultural relativism. Another example is Senator Jim Webb (D-Virginia), author of Born Fighting.
