So, this question is ridiculously vague, but I know what its trying to gauge. Society's standards are meant in terms of work, education, religious befliefs, etc. Conservatives often complain about welfare moochers, about people who don't want to work, about kids who don't follow their parents traditional customs. Therefore, agreeing with would be socially authoritarian, or socially conservative.

I strongly disagree with it, since I think individuals should set standards for themselves and no individual should have to live by the collective standards of others. I guess this is kind of a majority rule vs minority rights kind of question too.

Societies standards also include paying their taxes, and what the rich should earn. Even in Thatcherite UK, our society's view of what the richest should earn & pay wildly differs from said socons (who often appear to drop all notion of societal obligation at this junction) so I don't agree with that characterisation.

I strongly disagree with it, since I think individuals should set standards for themselves and no individual should have to live by the collective standards of others. I guess this is kind of a majority rule vs minority rights kind of question too.

Societies standards also include paying their taxes, and what the rich should take as payment. Even in Thatcherite UK, our society's view of what the richest should earn & pay wildly differs from said socons so I don't agree with that characterisation. 

I could see how it could be left wing too. But I'm just saying, its a social question that is libertarian vs authoritarian, not left vs right. You can vote your conscious, but the test may not take it that way.

Well I've already voted that I agree, but this seems to me a fundamentally collectivist vs individualist question, but anyway...
