Right wing generally refers to an individual or a political party that holds capitalist views (intent on investing in trade and industry for profit) and advocates highly conservative policies bound by tradition.
Groups subscribing to this view are in favour of a free market not controlled by government and private ownership. Characterised by ideas of authority, tradition and nationalism, the right-wing political ideology is centred around beliefs that certain social onders are unavoidable. its economic policies support low taxes and less regulation on businesses by the government. The rightwing ideology is in contrast to the left wing ideology which favours social equality in opposition to established social hierarchy. The two wings mark the opposite ends of the political spectrum.
Do you wonder how the term right wing originated? Well, it is said to have originated during the French Revolution in the late 18th Century when the supporters of the king, the conservatives, were seated on the right side of the presiding officer in the French parliament, and those with radical views, the anti-royals, on the left.
