Summary
Politics consists of power, authority and violence. Power is ability to influence others behavior without resistance. Authority refers to claim of legitimacy, the justification and right to exercise power. And violence means imposing that government to individual who do not follow the orders. (it is likely not direct but structural violence.) |

Types of governments are monarchy,
democracy, totalitarianism, oligarchy, communist state, theocracy.
Lastly, women, minorities and unfortunate
class are in political
shadow than men, majority population and wealthy class.
Mention
Politics is the process by which groups
of people make decision. I think there are not people who are interested in
politics because it is indispensable in our lives. According to wikipidia,
democracy’s priority goal is equal guarantees of freedom. But because that wasn’t
properly protected, there are paradox of democracy looking at the bottom of the
contents. It appeared that political right changes following gender, race, and
wealth. It is clear that it is paradox in democratic country, and it means
there are more parts we should be developed in a democracy.

I think the biggest problem is political
apathy in democracy. Political apathy ca be one of the biggest opportunity to
the dictatorship. We know that there are many things young people to do. They have
to do get a job, romance, and hobby to enjoy their life. But they can enjoy their
life based on democratic countries, because country guarantees their freedom,
people enjoy their free life. If state commit violence and deprive of nation’s
right, they will not do so. To defend own right, we must participate in “vote”
that called “the flower of democracy”.
Question
Above contents are my opinion. Finally, I
want to ask you guys how do we have to do to solve political apathy in
democracy.
You asked to ours "how do we have to do to solve political apathy in democracy."
ReplyDeleteI think that first step is to do the vote. So we have an interest in politics in order to vote. So we do campaign that have to be a campaign to encourage voting
I think that we should change recognition of politics.
ReplyDeletePeople think that result doesn't change if they don't come in politics.
So, We should seek inducement of politics.
