A free cultural life is one of the pillars in an open society. When people practise or take part inculture, inspiration, creativity and new ideas are born. The cultural heritage is a part of a people's identity and a pluralistic society isbuilt upon meeting and enrichment between different cultures. The goal for the cultural polity is to create accessibility, guarantee pluralism, and preserve the cultural heritage. It is the individual human's survival and wish for a good environment that are the motivating force in a liberal environment policy.
Liberalism has confidence in the individual to live in harmony with nature.
Since a person has not the right to harm other people, she does not have the right to harm generations to come. Therefore, she must look after the environment. Liberalism has a positive view of the ability of human beings. Because a human being can understand the consequences of his or her actions, he or she herself must set limits for them. One of the pillars of liberalism is the belief in a market economy and it is only in a free economy that environmental problems can be solved.
