A liberal believes that government can be used to alleviate social ills.

A conservative holds that individuals are responsible for their own situation, and government should not be involved.

A moderate holds an intermediate position between liberal and conservative.

Democrats tend to be liberals and Republicans tend to be conservatives. Independents do not mark themselves as members of either of the two parties.

A Democrat supports the policies of the Democratic party. Likewise Republicans. Each party has a set of guiding principles, and policy objectives they would like to accomplish.

According to modern day university professors, conservative is used to describe any person or organization that is an oppressor, and liberal is used to describe any person or group that is oppressed.
