Conservatism
Ths article deals with conservatism as a political philosophy. For other uses (such as national movements or parties), see
Conservatism (disambiguation) and/or the navigation bar on the right side of this page. Conservatism is a term used to describe
political philosophies that favor tradition and gradual change, where tradition refers to religious, cultural, or nationally defined beliefs and customs. The term is derived from the Latin, conservāre, to conserve; "to keep, guard, observe". Since different cultures have different established values, conservatives in different cultures have different goals. Some conservatives seek to preserve the
status quo or to reform society slowly, while others seek to return to the values of an earlier time, the
status quo ante.
