'''Conservatism''' is a term used to describe [[political philosophy|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, ''com servare'', ''to preserve''; "to protect from loss or harm".  Since different cultures have different established values, conservatives in different cultures have differing 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]].
