Politics

Politics refers to the process by which groups of people make collective decisions. It involves the study and practice of governance, power, authority, and the organization of societies. Politics encompasses a wide range of activities, including the formulation and implementation of policies, the negotiation of conflicts, and the distribution of resources and rights among individuals and groups. It can occur at various levels, from local governments to national and international arenas. Political systems can vary widely, including democracies, monarchies, authoritarian regimes, and more. Central to the concept of politics is the idea of power—how it is acquired, exercised, and challenged. Political behavior, institutions, ideologies, and movements are all integral to understanding how societal choices are made and how they affect individuals and communities.
