In this week dealt about politics.
Politics is process of decision-making in groups about social agenda.
This political action is usually performed within the government of the country.
But, politics has been represented in all of the interaction between the human poplulation such as corporate, academic, and religious.
Politics as a social power to regulates the national policy and used to apply the policy.
In addition, Politics manages the distribution of public resources.
And range of the politics is not limited to the country.
Whether formal or informal politics, said to be defined as the ability to influence the actions of others.
I think the politics is people to make a collective exercise of power.

Such authority has the power.
The political powers are granted justice.
Max Weber has presented three types of power.

1. the legal authority.
2. the traditional authority
3. the charismatic authority.

Since modern society governed by law, so I think the legal authority most appropriate.
Charismatic authority, can possible to bring unfairly followed the abuse of power.

The influence of political power should be made to prevent unequal to all citizens.

In other words, all citizens should be able to take advantage.

I was able to better understand politics through this Wikipedia article.
I had felt politics is distant and difficult.

But, we should participate in politics. This increases our influence.
