Politics

Politics is the process by which groups of people make collective decisions. It involves the distribution and exercise of power and authority within a society, influencing various aspects of life including governance, policy-making, and social behavior. Politics can manifest in formal institutions like governments and parliaments, as well as in informal settings such as social movements and community groups. It encompasses a range of activities, including campaigning, voting, legislation, and the negotiation of conflicts. Political systems vary widely across the world and can include democracies, autocracies, monarchies, and totalitarian regimes, each with its own mechanisms for decision-making and the organization of public life. The study of politics examines systems of governance, political behavior, ideologies, and the relationships between different political entities and their individuals.
