Politics

Politics is the process by which groups of people make collective decisions. It often involves the distribution and exercise of power and authority within a society. Politics can occur in various contexts, from governance at the national level to local community organizations and international relations. It encompasses activities such as the formulation of policies, the creation and enforcement of laws, and the negotiation of conflicts. Political systems can vary widely, including democracies, autocracies, monarchies, and more. Additionally, politics involves the participation of individuals and institutions, including politicians, political parties, interest groups, and voters, who influence or are affected by the decisions made. The study of politics includes the analysis of political behavior, political theory, and institutional frameworks, focusing on how politics shapes societal structures and addresses issues such as justice, rights, and the common good.
