Politics

Politics refers to the process by which groups of people make collective decisions, often within a governmental framework. It encompasses the study of systems of governance, political institutions, and the behavior of political actors and parties. Politics involves the distribution and exercise of power, authority, and influence within a society, as well as the formulation and enforcement of laws and policies. It can occur at various levels, from local communities to international relations. The term also reflects the contentious nature of decision-making in society, where differing interests, ideologies, and values can lead to conflict and debate. Ultimately, politics shapes the rules and structures that govern social interactions and individual rights.
