Politics

Politics refers to the activities, actions, and policies used to gain and hold power in a government or to influence the course of government policy. It encompasses the processes by which groups of people make collective decisions, often in the context of governance and societal organization. Politics can involve power dynamics, debates, negotiations, and coalition-building among various stakeholders, including individuals, political parties, and institutions. It also includes the study of political systems, behaviors, ideologies, and the impact of laws and regulations on society. Fundamentally, politics shapes public life and the allocation of resources, rights, and responsibilities within a community or nation.
