You believe that practicing self-restraint and moderation in all aspects of life leads to a balanced, harmonious, and fulfilling existence.
The Temperance political ideology is a movement that advocates for the reduction or prohibition of alcohol consumption. It emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, primarily in English-speaking countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. The ideology was driven by the belief that alcohol was the root cause of many societal issues, including domestic violence and poverty.

Do you believe that laws regulating personal behavior, like alcohol consumption, are effective or do they infringe on personal freedom?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Do you think excessive consumption of anything, even if it's not a substance, can be harmful?
@9HGM68Q6mos6MO
Yes, but that doesn't mean that overindulgence has to be treated as a terrible thing.

How do genetics or family history play a role in an individual's approach to temperance?
@9HPVQHT6mos6MO
If an alcoholic were to have a child I believe that it could go 2 different ways, for example, the child could either do the same as their parent and drink or the child could do the opposite and not drink. I think it depends on the child but at the same time it could stem from their parents.
@9HPF2HF6mos6MO
If a lot of the person's relatives have drank, then they may feel that it's okay for them to drink as well without having a restraint for themselves.
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
Should society promote temperance as a virtue, and why or why not?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
What are some strategies you use to resist peer pressure in social settings involving drinking or overeating?
@9HJ8SD56mos6MO
I make my own decisions, so whether I choose to eat or drink is completely up to me.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How does your definition of a ‘good life’ fit with the concept of temperance?
@9KHFTSS3mos3MO
A good life fits with the concept of temperance because it guides us in our enjoyment of good things in balanced moderation.
@9KG4DPB3mos3MO
I think we need to have people understand that alcohol is an addiction, and important to prevent, and also we should let people do as they please, as long as it does not danger themselves and others.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How can we use technology or social media to promote the idea of moderation in lifestyle among the youth?
@9HJBJ646mos6MO
We can spread the word and try to tell kids and youth the affects of alcohol, since there is no hard set way to stop some sort of underage drinking if it's provided from an external party. It gets increasingly difficult.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
What role do you think parents or guardians should play in teaching temperance to children?
@9HCLLVPRepublican 6mos6MO
They should lead by example and show them how they should act
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
In what way could an emphasis on quality over quantity change your daily choices?
@9LJ2SQF2mos2MO
Quality over quantity means that products will be better but more expensive. So things that regularly are good enough but not the best, will end up costing more than they are worth to any one individual.
@9LJ2PR72mos2MO
I think it would generally increase the quality of experiences and goods.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How does your culture or community view temperance, and does this align with your personal views?
@9K9QJ3W4mos4MO
they should have to control on who or how people get their alcohol because it could put people in danger and lead to other bad situations.
@9K9QG2N4mos4MO
My cultural issue and I believe the drinking of alcohol should be reduced and no one should drink it at all because it does bad things to you.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
In today's society, where is the line between enjoyment and excess?
@9HJ984C6mos6MO
The line between enjoyments and access when it comes to to temperance is alcohol for example because of all the losses we’re having of our lives and all the people getting out of control over a bottle. We must have freedom and have fun in our lives but abusing it from the grace of god is not okay and shall be provoked.
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
Can a person be truly free if they are unable to exercise temperance?
@9HDLWYC6mos6MO
no, because you have to exercise temperance to be free
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Have you ever regretted a time when you didn't practice moderation, and what did you learn from it?
@9J4XDVN5mos5MO
There was a time, and I learned that no matter what you should still be apart of something and not stay out of it, but sometimes it's best to stay out of it
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Is there a time or circumstance where practicing temperance has been particularly difficult for you or someone you know?
@9HJ6S636mos6MO
I personally have not had to deal with this, but I have seen people in my family struggle with drinking and they seem to make it a lifestyle.
