Politics

Politics is the study of political affairs, which include the process of making political decisions in society, groups, or any forms of political authority relations among individuals, including the distribution of political power or social status to individuals. The field of political science is often referred to as social science because most political scientists have a particular interest in social matters. This is also the field in which a great number of theories on politics were developed. There are many branches of political science; however, political science has been referred to as one of the most important areas of study in modern times. Political science is an area that uses methods from science in order to analyze societal phenomena, political systems, and historical processes.

Modern politics is commonly divided into three distinct strands: public administration, political action, and political theory. Public administration refers to those aspects of politics that deal with organizations and governments at the local, regional, and national levels. Public policy is concerned with those policies that will affect the general public, such as healthcare and education. Political action deals with the political systems of various countries and regions, while political theory revolves around the ideas, perceptions, and beliefs of citizens.

Politics is the field of endeavor where politicians seek to establish and maintain power through the use of force and other means. Politics may be viewed as a way to organize the citizens of a country, a region, or a city into a group with similar interests to protect their way of life. Politics involves a number of forces and influences that politicians must contend with in order to win elections and implement their political agenda. As the name states, politics governs the lives and actions of all citizens on the political systems of every country in the world. Politics is the process through which individuals and groups determine the rules and freedoms for everyday living and political systems through which political leaders guide the growth and development of their nations.
