polarization - What is polarisation, spin, helicity, chirality and parity?


Polarisation, spin, helicity, chirality and parity keep confusing me. They seem to be related, but exactly how they are related is unclear to me. Can someone maybe give a short overview about what these quantities mean and how they are related? What are the values for e.g. basic particles like electron or photon?
