This then brings us to the second point of how this is harmful to democracy. As I stated before it turns political campaigning into a childlike game for power.

To understand politics we will need to understand government's role. Government is the authority in society. It is the system by which a society is governed. This suggests that without government, society would be chaos? A society can be ran in many different ways, for example, democracy, theocracy or autocracy. These are types of "government". Each one of these ways is each quite different, but still in each one politics is involved. In every type of "government"

Ultimately, what would happen is that the faith groups will need to agree to forgo their religious views and beliefs to enable them to be able to keep up with the logistics of politics. I tend to side with the view that faith groups should not become involved in politics because politics is surrounded by greed, fame, money, power and selfishness all the things that are opposite of what God stands for.

Socrates solves the problem that Plato proposes. Knowledge plays an important role in Plato’s works and it aids in discussing his view on morality and politics, as ultimately knowledge underpins his view of nature, morality and politics.

Critics noted the cryptic nature of the assertion made by Benjamin by emphasizing that politics have since employed aestheticized manifestations, including mass demonstrations, celebratory gatherings and the like.

predictions may seem, they are still limited by a multitude of uncertainties. The strongest uncertainty is that all of these predictions are only forecasts of the future, there is no way for us to prove their validity at this time.

recurring patterns in international politics. Despite what might be termed as "change," such as swings in the distribution of capabilities, as well as great power wars and their outcomes, his work emphasized the fact that these occurred in recurring and predictable patterns.
