Document Summary

Politics is the process by which groups of people make decisions. It involves the use of power and authority to make and implement laws and policies that affect the lives of citizens. While politics can be a powerful force for good, it can also be a source of controversy and conflict. One of the main issues with politics is the presence of corruption. Corruption is the misuse of power for personal gain, and it can take many forms, such as bribery, nepotism, and cronyism. Corruption undermines the integrity of political systems and can lead to distrust and disillusionment among citizens. Another issue with politics is the influence of money. In many countries, political campaigns are expensive and candidates often rely on donations from special interest groups and wealthy individuals to fund their campaigns.
