What do "mean", "core value" and "end/utopia/goal mean in Political Ideology?

Asked by nailpolishfanatic (6637points) November 7th, 2010

The question says it all. I am assigned to fill in a chart that is somewhat like this:

Classical liberalism core values end/goal/utopia mean

Commitment to individualism.
Human beings are seen as egoistical and largely self-reliant creatures.
Society is believed to be made up of a collection of largely self-sufficient individuals.
The state is necessary evil.
The ideal state is a ´nightwatchman’ i.e. someone who provides some kind of public order. (police, military)
Economic liberalism: laissez-faire.

So basically I have only filled in the core values but I am not sure if its right….

what do mean and utopia mean? – what am I supposed to write in there?
