As a student in political science, the word or idea that occupies the largest part of my brain is the word politics and some other words in relation to this word. Politics as defined is the art and science of Government, It deals with public affairs and that is the distribution of goods and services to satisfy the demands of the public. What's the common pitfalls of misinterpreting the meaning of politics is often it is equated to the words governance or governments which tackle different scope and concept in the science of politics. Politics is only a concept or a term which refers only to the political system in the allocation of resources for the welfare of the entire populace.
Conflicts will arise as the individuals are not satisfied to the services of the government, as they complain if the government officials are not responding effectively to their clamors and demands but let us consider that we suffer from the scarcity of resources so it is expected that all our demands to the Government will not be fully given. In this situation, politics then in another definition is the art of preserving social order as the Government finds some alternative to resolve the conflict being presented.
Politics is omnipresent in our society. The moment there are negotiations between individuals or among individuals, the moment you convince your friend to accept your point of view on some matters, it is politics. The crossing of ideas and concepts and ideologies to meet a unified and integrated and generalized ideas and concepts and ideologies, it is politics.
Politics is not bad as it is defined but it can only be so if the one who practice or execute will use his power and authority and influence to deprive the real essence of politics and instead alleviate himself to the wealth of the people.

ReplyDeleteTrue politics is the removal of self-reverance, an ardent public servant and actions that attracts masses.
ReplyDeleteIf we are just making and implementing laws, without even knowing and experiencing it first hand, would be very disadvantageous.
We must remember that we are one of the masses that needed that law to make our lives better, not for the betterment of the few.
Laws are made to make advancements to its inhabitants. For example, if there is a law to make drinking intoxicating drinks unlawful, most of the crimes and accidents due to intoxication will greatly reduced. At first change is hard to accept, there will be opposition and resistance and it could take a few generations to be a standard in the society, but if we educate(eg free seminars, school general assembly requirement, etc) them and tell them the implications are. I think in time, those who share the same passion will also promote the law.
We must, at all times, promote education. for ignorance is the source of misunderstanding and even will scale to war.
I hope you will be a wonderful artist someday. :) (Politics is an art right?)
