Politics

Politics refers to the activity, process, or study of governance, power, and decision-making within a society or group. It involves the competition for authority and resources and is often concerned with the organization, policies, and actions of governments, political institutions, and political parties. Additionally, politics encompasses the various ways in which individuals and groups influence and interact with these systems, including lobbying, campaigning, and forming public opinion. It can occur at multiple levels, from local community governance to international relations, and is shaped by ideologies, social structures, and historical contexts. Politics is fundamental to how societies are structured and function, impacting laws, rights, and the distribution of power among individuals and entities.
