Politics

Politics is the process by which groups of people make collective decisions. It involves the distribution of power and resources among individuals or groups within a society. Politics encompasses the activities associated with governance, including the formulation and implementation of policies, the negotiation of differences, and the exercise of authority. It exists at various levels, from local communities to national governments and international relations. Central to politics are concepts such as power, authority, democracy, representation, and justice. Political systems can vary widely, including democracies, autocracies, monarchies, and others, each with its own mechanisms for decision-making and governance. Political discourse often involves debate over ideologies, values, and interests, influencing laws and social orders.
