Social conservatives organize in favor of duty, traditional values and social institutions, such as traditional family structures, gender roles, sexual relations, national patriotism, and religious traditions.

As national conservatism seeks to preserve national interests, traditionalist conservatism emphasizes the preservation of social order.
