1.Summary

 Politics is the process that people discuss and make decisions in the groups.
There are three important terms in politics.: Power, Authority and Violence. Power is ability that can change people's behavior. Authority looks similar to Power, but these words meaning differ. Authority is ability that can punish about illegal behaviors. Max Weber said there are authorities of three types.: Rational-legal authority, Traditional authority, Charismatic authority. Violence is ability that can press people to behave based on authority.
 There are many types of Governments.: Monarchy, Democracy, Totalitarianism, Oligarchy, Communist State, Theocracy.
 1. Monarchy : A Monarchy is a type that overlord absolutely reign state to overlord resigns.
 2. Democracy :  Democracy is a type that all citizen participate in process of making decisions.
 3. Totalitarianism : Totalitarianism is type that overload get involved in people's every area.
 4. Oligarchy : Oligarchy is a type that a small elite rule society.
 5. Communist State : Communist State is a type that form of government characterized by one party
 6. Theocracy : Theocracy is a type that god is recognized as overlord and ruled by religious books, theonomous laws.

 In political system where voting performed, certain age, certain race and gender show low rates of voting.  These problems have to solve. 

2. Mention 

  Before I read reading material of this week, I didn't know clear differences in Monarchy and Totalitarianism and I think Monarchy and Totalitarianism are nearly same. Although I don't understand perfectly, I quite understand about different of Monarchy and Totalitarianism.

3. Question

 I wonder how problem that law voter turnout can solve in Korea. In Korea, especially voter turnout of 20s is lower than other age. How can we encourage citizen's vote?
