How Politics Is Present Everywhere?

Politics means influencing and changing social behavior by adopting such activities that create a powerful impact (According to me). It composes a very strong impact on the way people think and the way people operate.

So Isn’t it obvious that politics is present everywhere? I believe it is. As you can see it has both social and political impact on Nation and its people, But it isn’t just all about the Govt. and its politics. It covers the entirety of everything.

Politics not only made for political parties to run a Nation. It is now using by almost every organization, at every work place and even at schools & colleges and unsurprisingly at home. Apart from that we often use it in our daily life too.

At Where You Can Expect Politics?

As the growing population showing no sign of slow down, so as the level of competition. Therefore, to play the game and to differentiate your work and thinking, you somehow need to play a political game. And I’m not saying that this is all bad. It may be good if it brngs a positive influence to society as a whole.

As said, it is the way by which progress and change for the people and change for ourselves occurs. As a part of society with different personalities and different people in our surroundings, it is possible that some of us do not have any interest in the functioning of politics but directly or indirectly you are a part of it, might be as a victim or as a player.

There are certain perceptions floating in our society about the term “Politics” like tell me What comes to your mind when I say the word politics?

Whatever you are thinking right now might be completely different of what others are thinking at the same time. As I said different people different minds.

Now If you are still thinking that you are not influenced by politics, so might be you have a wrong assumption. Because apart from national politics even at local levels you can see the politics game. For example, at home to buy your favourite thing you need to create some kind of influence on other family members.

Just for an example, let say you got your 5 months pending salary instantly, by making an employee union and by raising a voice against exploitation.

Politics in Organisations

Every group or organization uses the power of politics to control its members, to maintain and preserve themselves and their identity.

Workers can also use the same through unity by raising the voice for workers’ demands etc. It may create positive and negative impacts. The concentration of politics isn’t limited to the top level.

Politics at University Level

Politics has a very long root behind it. Every big player of politics mostly started their journey from the university level. They learn basic knowledge and tactics while participating in College or University elections.

They form student unions, social activists, and, many small parties to learn how to work for people and do social works before going to the state level and then the National level.

Politics By Different Ideologies

As I said earlier that not everyone loves politics, it differs from person to person. And according to me, ideology is the main root cause for politics and the whole story itself begins from there.

It is said that there are two main big ideologies that exist in the Nation – RIGHT WING and LEFT WING and beyond simple right and left analysis, liberalism, conservatism, libertarianism, etc. Also, have a major impact on influencing the people.

Nonetheless, every ideology is elite and the individual who follows the ideologies is supreme. So why there is so much social inequality in the world regarding ideology? I think the competition of whose ideology is supreme can be the main reason behind politics.

People wants you to follow the same ideology as it’ll make them more strong and escalate their status and power over all the communities in the society.

Despite everyone is different and requires different solutions. So how can one be so sure about the ideology he is following that it will work the same way for them too?

Why Politics is Important?

Politics isn’t a bad word if you look closely, even some of the great leaders in our history uses the power of politics in a right way to defend their rights and for the people who was suffering with Superior ideology.

Let us take an example:- suppose you are working in a company and your boss is constantly exploiting your work. Giving you loads of work with very low wages. Or, you are a farmer and you are not getting that price which the contractor promised you before buying.

The powerful ones are continuously exploiting you and your subordinates. Now you decided to make a group under the leadership of the chosen one. You all decided to raise your voice against exploitation and finally, you won.

And this where politics step in to give your voice a boost and to create a strong impact on others.

• Politics help you in raising your voice.
• Helps you to know where you are getting exploited.
• It helps you in decision making.
• Politics help you defend your rights.
• Politics makes you stand in society.

Apart from this it also helps in relationship building and helps in boosting your business. Like a good international relation helps you to boost your business internationally and helps to generate higher revenue over your competitors.

Why Politics Can Be The Curse?

Continue with the above example suppose the leader you selected starts deceiving you. Now that where politics become dirty and the reason is greed and corruption.

He is secretly using his power of status to exploit others by playing dirty politics game that benefits him.

Controlled by few people:-  It becomes a curse when it is controlled by a few people or comes under a monopoly. When the leaders started controlling our lives by making emotionally blackmailing or doing unlawful activities. They are busy filling their accounts rather than listening to public voice or when they start forcing their ideologies to be followed by others as well.

Corruption:- The primary thing behind the corruption is greed, unnecessary desires, suppressing poor rights, etc. Corruption is done everywhere, not only in Govt. officials. I’m sure we all have done corruption at least once, maybe not you but your parents did in the form of giving a bribe for passing our files, for quick promotion in office.

Government/association make laws, rules but are they acceptable by all? If not so, what can be the reason?

There could be many reasons but the major one is the existence of various ideologies in the world. Everyone has a different perception of the government and its policies. It may beneficial to someone but not to others at the same time.

In the final Analysis

As we have seen that, politics influences our life both in positive and negative ways. Whereas disadvantages are more but according to me politics are not bad until it goes in wrong hands.

Once MAHATMA GANDHI said one single drop of water doesn’t make the ocean dirty and that pertains perfectly in politics. There are good people also who are examples of good governance and politics.

A little bit of politics is necessary for life. For instance, Lord Krishna and Shakuni both did politics to win the war of MAHABHARATA. But in the end, Lord Krishna won the war not because the Pandavas were powerful (moreover they were very less in numbers) but because of good governance and leadership under Lord Krishna.
