Politics

Politics refers to the activities, actions, and policies used to gain and hold power in a government or to influence the decisions of a governing body. It encompasses the processes through which groups of people make collective decisions, often involving the distribution of resources and values within a society. Politics can occur at various levels, from local communities to international relations, and includes a range of activities such as lobbying, campaigning, and voting. It also involves the study of political systems, political behavior, and political theory, examining how power dynamics shape societies and influence individuals’ lives. Overall, politics is fundamental to the functioning of societies, as it determines how authority is exercised and how public resources are allocated.
