My Understanding of Politics

            What does politics mean to me? At the beginning of this course I stated that defining politics as just a body of government is such a difficult task to do, because it is so much more than that. Before taking this course I despised anything that dealt with politics. I thought politics was a boring and an irrelevant topic, that is in my world of course. When I started to engage in the Discussion Board questions, it exercised my mind to view politics from a different perspective. At first I felt as though politics was something someone invented to be able to control people in society and that it was a way to control who becomes rich and who becomes poor, but now I have realize that there is more to politics than I thought. .
             According to Merriam-Webster (2015), politics is defined as, activities that relate to influencing the actions and policies of a government or getting and keeping power in a government. Personally, I feel as though politics on a whole may seem as though it is the best way for society to live by, but honestly more than half of the people associated in politics are not there to help nor do they care or try to understand the struggle people go through, as I stated at the beginning of the semester. They only care about themselves and their pockets. As students, I believe we can and should reinforce the origins of politics. It sounds a tad easy than it actually is, but I strongly believe that if given the chance not only could society put a stop to the dirty game appearance of politics, it also teach us qualities of strength and leadership. It helps us voice our opinion and have a say in crucial issues. We should push ourselves to make right decisions in order to make our politics system less corrupt. This class has taught me that without politics there would be no existence of a society because there would be a lack of structure that would only lead to destruction.
