False. Liberals are an imaginary segment of society; a society can believe many different ways about a given subject.
false-novanet Liberals are an imaginary entity and therefore believe whatever the one imagining believes they believe.
Let's first consider what institutions are.Looking at various dictionary definitions, institutions can be:- organizations founded for a specific purpose- customs that have been important features of a group or society for a long time. These might include marriage, banking, markets, government, etc.but probably the best definition that fits your question is this:"Institutions are structures and mechanisms of social order and cooperation governing the behavior of a set of individuals within a given human collectivity."Liberals favor reform and progress, and the protection of civil liberties.Some reforms might be wrong, but this is only about definitions, not points of view. So we can simply accept that definition.In fact, if you look at "western" governments and politics, you might be able to identify liberal tendencies in any philosophy of government, even a Conservative one.But it is also a fact that reform and progress of a society and its laws and government is only possible if institutions are subjected to review and reform in some degree.So, unless the maintenance of civil liberties is, by definition, an institution, the answer to your question is "No, Liberals do not believe that institutions are unchangeable."I've heard people say that the concept of reform and change has become an institution of Liberalism, and therefore Liberals should seek to change it.That is frivolous and only makes things more unclear.What is more accurate is to say that Liberals favor review and progress. Some things do not need changing for everybody. But without the desire to investigate and examine, there can be no improvement.The statement "We don't need to change, because we have always done things this way " is to some an open invitation to look at ways that change might bring about improvement.But the greatest enemies of our society are:the unwillingness to accept change, andthe insistence on change for the sake of change.
Liberals tend to favor the creation and maintenance of international institutions like the European Union and NATO. This is because they favor the impartiality of multinational organizations, as well as the spirit of cooperation and community.
No, as you can get social liberals and economic liberals. For example, a liberal may be pro-choice and support gun control, but believe the government should reduce its role in the economy. Or vice versa.
They believe they know better how to spend it.

Liberals generally believe in more government involvement in our lives. For example they are for entitlement programs such as welfare, and social security. They also believe that things like abortion, and gay marriage should be legal. Primarily most middle and lower class people are liberal, because liberals are for usually for helping "Main Street America." However, there are always exceptions to the rule. For instance, some conservatives are for Main Street, and some upper class citizens are identified as liberals.
