Politics.
Politics is an extremely interesting and discussed topic at any epoch. Translated from Greek, the word itself means “the art of ruling the state”. More precise meaning found in dictionaries can apply to the direct activity of the state or community groups in various spheres of life, such as, economics, social relations, security and else. Politic affairs are often discussed by mass media, i.e. in newspapers, magazines, online editions. Journalists like to judge or criticize politicians. However, as the Greek philosopher once said: “Only very few can do politics while everyone can judge them”. In my opinion, working in the field of politics isn’t easy at all. Most people prefer to stay aside and let the rich and powerful to lead the state policy. However, it’s not right. Everyone should strive to understand the political affairs of the country as we are all the part of one society. It means that state policy applies to all of us and we all depend on it. That’s why people shouldn’t ignore the topic of politics and shouldn’t be careless with its terms and conditions. As I’ve mentioned before, being a politician is not an easy task at all. Politics shouldn’t be treated as one big show. It requires action on the first place. That’s why a true politician should be highly responsible, educated, balanced and provident. This person represents the interests of other people in state. For that reason he should be free of greed and corruption. He should put social interests above his own personal needs. If every politician in the country would follow this pattern, perhaps, the art of politics would sensibly improve.
