Politics

Politics refers to the activities, actions, and policies used to gain and hold power in a government or to influence the governance of a society. It encompasses the processes by which groups of people make collective decisions and involves the creation and implementation of laws, regulations, and public policies. Politics can occur at various levels, including local, national, and international, and involves various actors, including politicians, political parties, interest groups, and the general public. The study of politics examines the distribution of power and resources, the role of institutions, the impact of ideologies, and the relationship between the state and society. Political systems can vary widely, encompassing democracies, autocracies, monarchies, and other forms of governance. Politics also touches on the ethical implications of power and the rights and responsibilities of citizens in shaping their governance.
