The Role of Politics in Society
Many bloggers, and also some politicians, often make reference to something called being politically interested, or, being politically aware. However, the idea that politics is simply, or primarily, about political power struggles is definitely challenged over modern times. Many political scientists have challenged this view. Still, most political scientists agree that politics does play a significant role in society. Politics, at the very least at the broadest level, is defined by the political parties involved.

Politics is, in large part, a social activity. It has always been so. As political scientist Robert Weihlmann put it "Politics is a social activity and political institutions are political institutions." Politics isn't static; it constantly changes as sets of people come together and discover different ways of cooperating to fulfill their political needs. This ongoing procedure for politics has been present since the earliest history of democracy, as sets of men banded together to create political coalitions to achieve particular ends.

From the initial days of politics the idea of politics was linked closely to the question of power. At the time, power meant individual control over social organizations such as warring against neighboring tribes, creating a country, and so on. Power was tied closely to the ownership of land, and therefore, politics became a game of who had more usage of political power. Thus, those groups with the best number of warriors could actually rule by using politics. Power was in line with the fact that those who held political power had usage of more weapons and therefore, were with the capacity of defending themselves with their political power. Thus, politics became closely linked to war.

The early civilizations that existed beyond the reach of Rome didn't have political systems, and therefore, politics was not an important matter. Groups of men would band together and create political coalitions when necessary. Rome was not developed enough at this time to create stable governments, and therefore, politics became an important factor that has been considered when forming alliances with other groups. A number of these political coalitions came into being because of religious or nationalistic reasons. Religious groups like the pagans or the Jews would sometimes form coalitions in order to fight off encroaching empires.

As political theory became more developed throughout the centuries that followed, it began to are more intertwined with ideas of right and wrong. For example, many people would associate right thinking with societal bliss, moral enlightenment, and a feeling of honor and integrity. Often times, political systems were established through the use of force, and the societies that emerged in the classical world were generally brutalized by using political violence.

However, even though some political thinkers argue that such societies are too difficult to investigate, most political scientists have tried to analyze how politics actually works in the real world today. In fact, political scientists have spent decades trying to explain the workings of politics in the twenty-first century world. Most political theories in the twentieth century have already been developed through the analysis of political systems that have developed across the world. OP Studying the political systems of ancient and contemporary societies has revealed a good deal about how politics works.

Politics is usually thought of as a political arena where groups of people decide on what sort of political system they would like to reside in. However, politics also plays a key role in social interaction, and politics play a role in the shaping of social norms. Many social scientists have theorized that the way that politics influences social interaction is through deliberation. For instance, if a political philosopher discusses the problem of poverty, many people might immediately begin to discuss their own personal strategies for alleviating poverty.

Besides social interaction, politics influences other aspects of human life including cultural norms, gender roles, national identity, and also religion. All of these aspects of politics can be traced back to their origins in ancient societies. Thus, politics plays a vital role in all aspects of contemporary human life. Although political debate is frequently viewed as the domain of powerful governments and political leaders, politics could be understood as a process where people come to decide how their society and world will function, and how they themselves will be affected by that process.
