Politics

Politics is the process by which groups of people make collective decisions. It encompasses the activities associated with the governance of a country or area, including the formulation and implementation of policies, the exercise of power and authority, and the negotiation and resolution of conflicts within a society. Politics can occur at various levels, from local communities to international relations, and involves various actors such as governments, political parties, interest groups, and citizens. It encompasses the study of political systems, political behavior, the structure of political institutions, and the dynamics of political power. Politics also plays a critical role in shaping social values and norms, influencing how resources and rights are distributed within a society.
