Politics is a process by which groups of people make collective decisions. The term is generally applied to behavior within civil governments, but politics has been observed in other group interactions, including corporate, academic, and religious institutions. It consists of "social relations involving authority or power" and refers to the regulation of a political unit, and to the methods and tactics used to formulate and apply policy.

The word "Politics" comes from the Greek word Πολιτικά (politika) from politic (adj.), modeled on Aristotle's "affairs of state," the name of his book on governing and governments, which was rendered in English mid-15 century as Latinised "Polettiques." In Latin, this was "politicus" and in French "politique". Thus it became "politics" in Middle English (see the Concise Oxford Dictionary).

History

The origin and development of government institutions is the most visible subject for the study of Politics and its history.

How do I make a political statement with modeling?
Q. I'm a model and a new photographer I'm working with wants me to come up with some ideas. i really want to make a political statement against Bush. Specifically his anti-stem cell agenda (it led to the death of someone I loved more than life) I'd like to somehow make a statement of him as a murderer. A political statement against what Obama wants to do to the elderly would be good but not required. Thanks! It wouldn't neccessarilly go into my portfolio. I actually wanted it more for personal purposes (like hanging in my room) than anything

What are some political issues concerning alternative energy?
Q. I can think of plenty of economic issues, but I can't seem to think of any political issues.
Asked by BenitoLim - Mon Dec 1 01:04:34 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. One major issue concerning the development and utilization of alternative energy sources is the lack of political will to support such endeavor. In the US, former president Bill Clinton did not submit the Kyoto Protocol (an international treaty which aims to reduce the collective emission of Greenhouse Gases in signatory nations) to the Republican-dominated Senate who opposed the abovesaid amendment. Environmental policies in developing nations, like the Philippines, are not adequate, as they permit multinational and transnational companies to deliberately exploit their natural resources for economic gain while disregarding local environmental policies.
