Libertarianism in the United States is a movement promoting individual liberty and minimized government.

Although the word libertarian continues to be widely used to refer to socialists internationally, its meaning in the United States has deviated from its political origins.

The Libertarian Party asserts the following to be core beliefs of libertarianism:

Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits.

Educational methods include storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and directed research.

Education frequently takes place under the guidance of educators, but learners may also educate themselves.

Education can take place in formal or informal settings and any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational.

The methodology of teaching is called pedagogy.

A community is a small or large social unit (a group of people) who have something in common, such as norms, religion, values, or identity.

Often - but not always - communities share a sense of place that is situated in a given geographical area (e.g. a country, village, town, or neighborhood).

Durable relations that extend beyond immediate genealogical ties also define a sense of community.

People tend to define those social ties as important to their identity, practice, and roles in social institutions like family, home, work, government, society, or humanity, at large.

Although communities are usually small relative to personal social ties (micro-level), "community" may also refer to large group affiliations (or macro-level), such as national communities, international communities, and virtual communities.

A mission statement, a type of statement of purpose, is a statement which is used to communicate the purpose of an organization.

Although most of the time it will remain the same for a long period of time, it is not uncommon for organizations to update their mission statement; this generally happens when an organization evolves.

Mission statements are normally short and simple statements which outline what the organization's purpose is and are related to the specific sector an organization operates in.
