Politics

Politics is the process by which groups of people make decisions, often within a governmental or organizational context. It encompasses the activities associated with the governance of a country or area, including the formulation and implementation of laws, policies, and regulations. Politics involves power dynamics, where individuals or groups seek to influence or control decisions that affect a community or society. It can include various forms of leadership and authority, as well as mechanisms for representation and participation, such as elections, lobbying, and public discourse.

Politics also examines the relationships between different entities, including citizens, governments, institutions, and international bodies, and how these relationships shape societal structures and norms. Political theories and ideologies help to explain different approaches to governance and the role of the state, influencing everything from policy making to individual rights and freedoms. Thus, politics is a fundamental aspect of human activity that affects all levels of social interaction and organization, from local communities to global affairs.
