Politics

Politics refers to the activities, actions, and policies used to gain and hold power in a government or to influence the government. It encompasses the processes through which groups of people make collective decisions, resolve conflicts, and allocate resources. Politics involves the examination of political institutions, behavior, ideologies, and the interplay between citizens and their governments. It can occur at various levels, from local and national to international, and is often characterized by power struggles, governance, and the negotiation of interests among different groups. In essence, politics shapes how societies are governed and how public policies are created and implemented.
