Politics

Politics refers to the process and practice of making decisions that apply to members of a group or society, often involving the distribution of power and resources. It encompasses the activities associated with governance, the formulation of policies, and the negotiation of conflicts among individuals or groups with varying interests and values. Politics can occur at various levels, including local, national, and international, and involves institutions such as governments, political parties, and NGOs. Central to politics are concepts like authority, justice, rights, and public interest, influencing how societies organize themselves and address collective issues. Political behavior and ideologies shape how decisions are made, who participates in the political process, and the means by which power is acquired and exercised.
