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 community or society. It encompasses the processes through which groups of people make collective decisions, often involving negotiation, conflict, and cooperation among various stakeholders. Politics operates at multiple levels, from local to international, and can involve different entities, including individuals, political parties, institutions, and governments. It often involves discussions about rights, resources, governance, and the distribution of power. The study of politics includes analyzing ideologies, political systems, policy-making processes, and the behavior of political actors. Ultimately, politics shapes the structure of society and affects daily life through legislation, public policy, and social order.
