Politics

Politics is the process by which groups of people make collective decisions. It involves the study and analysis of governance systems, political behavior, activities, and the power dynamics between individuals, groups, and institutions. Political activities can range from the creation and implementation of policies and laws to the negotiation and struggle for power and resources. Politics occurs at various levels, including local, national, and international, and can encompass formal institutions such as governments and legislatures, as well as informal processes such as social movements and public opinion. Political ideologies, parties, and systems shape how societies organize themselves, resolve conflicts, and distribute power. The field of politics also examines the ethical implications of governance, the role of citizens, and the impact of political actions on society and individuals.
