My View On Politics
My View on Politics
Without politics, the world would be in chaos due to the lack of discipline. Politics help to organize the laws of the land, and help us to find people that would lead us to a better place than we were. But politics can also lead to corruption within the state and person. Politics can bring mud-slinging words to unneeded arguments and harsh comments to simple videos. That is why I believe that politics have a good side, a bad side, and an ugly side.
Life has many good things. The problem is that most of these good things can be gotten only by sacrificing other good things. We all recognize this in our daily lives. It is only in politics that this simple, common sense fact is routinely ignored.
In politics, there are not simply good things but some special Good Things -- with a capital G and capital T -- which are considered always better to have more of.
Many of the things advocated by environmental extremists, for example, are things that most of us might think of as good things. But, in politics, they become Good Things whose repercussions and costs are brushed aside as unworthy considerations. Nobody wants to breathe dirty air or drink dirty water. But, if either becomes 98 percent pure, 99 percent pure or 99.9 percent pure, there is some point beyond which the costs skyrocket and the benefits become meager or non-existent.
In some ways certain things give politics a bad name. Democratic politics can be one of the most creative human activities. It provides an opportunity for the public resourcefulness and talent of citizens to be developed to the full. However, before exploring the positive potential of politics, it is important to acknowledge that for many people, “politics” as they see it is a nasty concept, a word with all kinds of negative associations
When politics only revolves around elections, then it is difficult to escape the idea that political parties are in control of the game. There is nothing wrong with political
