Religion and politics are the two subjects that most people avoid.Politics is a process in which some groups or organizations make decisions. The term is used when discussing the governments of any country. Anytime there are discussions pertaining to the ruling of a country, or the laws and courts of any country, it is considered to be politics. If you are debating about the Republicans and Democrats, or another party of the government, this is all politics. Discussing a matter concerning a politician (such as the president), is also politics. Politics has been seen in all business interactions whether it is government, corporate, academic, or religious. Politics involves authority and power. It involves tactics and methods, but are not always ethical or legitimate acts. There is sometimes corruption in all political endeavors, especially in government and corporations. You hear about it on the news everyday about corruption in some political group. Whether it is legal or illegal, it still exists, and it is this very reason why many prefer not to discuss the subject. Most politicians divide politics into a left and right wing group. Those who agree with a particular idea or law will set on one side of the groom and those who disagree will set on the other side. This idea was brought about when, during the French Revolution, the members of the National Assembly divided into two groups. Those who were for the monarchy rule sat on the right side of the room and those who opposed it sat on the left side of the room. The meaning of the left wing and right wing does have different meanings in other countries. The right wing activists are said to be representing the moral and social conservatism and the left wing activists represent the poor and less successful part of society. The right wing is linked with social equity and the left wing is associated with social equality. In the United States there are two main parties in political government control. They are Democrats and Republicans. There is also a couple of other parties which do not get the publicity that they may deserve and one of them is the Libertarian Party, Green Party, and the Constitution Party. While there may be some very good candidates which run for political offices of President, they very seldom are even mentioned on television and in the media. We speak of equality but there is no such thing in the United States. It all boils down to money. Either you have it or you don’t and if you don’t, you get no attention. |
