Topic: Is politics everyone's business? - page 5. (Read 1234 times)
yes I really agree with you. politics is every man's business. if we are not involved in politics, this politicians will keep on hosting us. we elected them in to represent us but unfortunately there all there for personal interest. something made for the citizens has become a personal something, they does not care for the pain of the masses anymore. when we keep on saying it doesn't concerns us, they see it as an opportunity to convert the national cake to be a personal one
Yes, politics is in human nature, politics is a decision making, since we make decision everyday we must choice wisely who to rule over us. Once we leave it to the hands of the few it's become dangerous to the society. Everyone must involve in it and participate actively.
Aristotle described us as political Animal , that implies we are all political being and it's our affairs to get involve in politics.

I think Aristotle was wrong about this. My political stand is that most of us are apolitical, and the rest of us should be. Of course, this is only my political opinion. But it hardly differs at all from my apolitical opinion.

Politics can be everyone's business when everyone is interested in politics but not everyone is suitable to become involved in political discourse if they are mentally unstable.
This is true. Many wants to become a politician because they think that money is all over it but not everyone fits to be one. And the sad truth is that there have been cases of politicians that don't have control to themselves. They're using their power inappropriately.In general willfully stupid and stupid ignorant people should have the right to take an interest in politics but intelligent citizens should not have to tolerate their leadership if they ever are placed in power by either unelected groups or ignorant masses swayed by populist rantings.
Still, there's balance on it. Despite that there could be supporters that are tolerating actions from their politicians inappropriately. It's a need to have wise and intelligent people to criticize the wrongdoings of these authorities.
Politics can be everyone's business when everyone is interested in politics but not everyone is suitable to become involved in political discourse if they are mentally unstable. That said, it is pretty clear that today we have many politicans who are mentally unstable and who are placed in their positions by unelected individuals and groups which are equally a threat to democracy as is rule by the mob and the ignorant.
A better form of democracy would exist where there are two or three parallel administrations in existence running a country at the same time adopting different methods of administration that citizens can choose from and the threat to freedom of choice is no longer infringed upon by the tyranny of the majority.

So I ask, in your own opinion do you think politics should be the concern of every citizen.
Yes, looking at the effects of politics in the economy today, we can say that politics control all the other sectors of the economy because the elected president of any country controls the affairs of the country so in a bit to stop corruption and fight unemployment, every citizen is expected to be directly or indirectly involved in politics so that they can help in electing a credible candidate that will help to boost the economy of their nation. If the citizens are not concerned about politics in their country then they stand to accept any one elected as the president even though such person is not a credible candidate.
The sad thing is that this has become a business for these politicians and it has become dirty because of those politicians that don't want to get out of it as they've experienced living their lives at their best when they enter.
Most politicians don't have defined job endeavour that they do and that is why they fight hard to retain themselves in power as retirement benefit. In Nigeria for instance, after the tenure of a governor he is automatically predicted to run for the post of a senate and that is rightly so, at the end of the next election you begin to hear their names as senators as they rig themselves in. And also likewise a senator after his tenure goes to contest for the governorship position and this happens across the local government too. This recycling of leaving one position to another is evident that they don't have any other job than politics. In the past people were uninterested to be in politics but this is not the case now.
Ignorantly so many citizens has been neglecting their franchise all in the name of "I'm not interested in politics" in that same act they are also involving in politics but in a negative way, abstaining from voting may emerge a bad govt. And in return when they make policies it includes everyone in the society. Also during allocation we often times discover that some region tend to be neglected in the same manner they have neglected their franchise.
So I ask, in your own opinion do you think politics should be the concern of every citizen.

I beg to differ, mate, it is not the ignorant that abstain from politics but the experienced. When you have experienced an election where your vote is worthless in the process of electing new leaders. When you have experienced an electioneering process that promotes violence and the destruction of lives and properties. When you have experienced intimidation and threat because you fail to support a candidate. If you have experienced an electoral process that is influenced by tribal and religious sentiment. If you have seen an election process that is ruled by vote buying and the highest bidder gets the highest vote. If you have experienced an election where the results have been written before the election date. If you have encountered some or all of these events, you might conclude that it is better to stay indoors during elections than to risk your life and waste your time in an election that has been arranged to suit an anointed candidate.
As obvious as the selection rather than election is, the thing that citizens fail to take into consideration is the fact that without citizens there's no state. The citizens have the power and it is enlightenment and education that can open our eyes to understand that the essence of voting right is to our benefit. The leader that is in power only knows those within his household hence the policies that would follow such a government.
Politics is everyone's business unless in such cases where malpractice is witnessed, then it becomes wise to just play spectator and do more active work from the grassroot rather than poke holes in any policies the selected leader makes. Where focus goes, energy flows!

Politics is not everyone's business and everyone does not have to be political. But everyone must know about politics with the aim that they are not easily fooled by people who understand and control politics.
Politics is "smart to fool" I say so because those who are smart about politics will continue to exploit and influence those who are politically illiterate for personal or group gain.
And one more said that politics is "not right and wrong but wins and loses". In politics, what is wrong can be right and what is right can be wrong, because the ones who write history are the winners. And as an example; if only those rebels succeeded in seizing power, maybe they would not mention that they were rebels but they would say that they were revolutionary fighters upholding justice.

Yes, it's because you're choosing the people that will lead the country and its policies. That's why choosing the wrong leader may also be the fault of the citizens because they think that it's not that important at all. Politics should be a concern of everybody as long as you're a rightful voter and you've got love for your country. The sad thing is that this has become a business for these politicians and it has become dirty because of those politicians that don't want to get out of it as they've experienced living their lives at their best when they enter. So, having affairs as well from other countries will also rely on these leaders and that's everyone's concern as it will determine the impact that it has got for its economy share and as well as public relations.
Everyone should become a politician. Then the good people could take down their criminal counterparts more easily.

According to the postulation of a Marxist, who is of the opinion that "politics is a determination of who gets what, when and how " this from a lame man's interpretation means that the involvement of the people in political affairs determins who in particular should the dividends of democracy be allocated to, when it should be given and how it should be given.

Just as everyone can not be in that political position at the same time, it is everyone's business which we must comply to as citizens of a state or region. Because one of the reason why people lose faith in politics, (i.e election to be precise) is when the electoral system is corrupt, and the people's vote don't count, just like what been practice in most countries, whereby only the people who have enough money to impress, god-fatherism and connection only wins election, due to how corrupt the system is, making people feel discouraged and losing hope for politics.

Of course, politics must be paid attention to and even must be studied by everyone. Because politics has a very broad domain, and not only for the purposes of a country. Indeed, perhaps the most commonly known by many people, especially in countries that have a system of government such as a republic. Politics is only used for the purpose of a country, such as presidential elections, governor elections and mayor elections. It's all true. Because all of these things have a political element in them. But actually political science is not only used for a country, but must be studied by everyone and not only for people who want to become state officials. Because political science has many uses, small examples such as making a strategy, or to unite one faction with another. Because as Aristotle said about his opinion about politics.So I ask, in your own opinion do you think politics should be the concern of every citizen.
Quote
politics is the effort taken by citizens to realize the common good (Aristotle's Classical Theory).
Source: https://id.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politik#:~:text=political%20is%20business%20that%20taken,and%20implementation%20policy%20public%20Government.So I can also conclude that politics is a combination of the vision and mission of many people. Even though the path that everyone takes is different, it has the same goal and for the common good.correct me if I'm wrong
And in essence, politics must be considered by everyone, not to mention anyone.
So I ask, in your own opinion do you think politics should be the concern of every citizen.
Politics should be participated in by everyone, rather than being limited to a specific set of people or being a concern of a small number of citizens. Politics is inextricably linked to democracy, and we all know that "democracy is government of the people, by the people, and for the people." This definition explains why everyone is crucial in identifying the ideal candidate to represent them and reign over them. Invariably, if some individuals do not vote, the small majority who do not vote has a negative impact on the huge population who does vote. Only one individual can determine whether the outcome of an election will be in the people's favour or whether they will experience hardship for a number of years again if they are elected.

Politics really does concern everyone, directly or indirectly. Although government elections in some countries are not usually free and fair because of the cheating, fighting, and corruption that repeatedly occur, But most times, if a bad president is elected to rule, it is also the fault of the citizens who fail to support politics. Some people would say that they don't have any connections to partake in politics without even realising how important it is for them to contribute during voting or supporting a chosen leader, perhaps mostly during voting for another president.
yes everyone has an equal right to pursue whatever interest they dime fit, but then not everyone will have the ball to pursuits their interest.
Every has interest coupled with the zeal but that ball is what is lacking because those political gladiators are ready to kill or harm whoever crosses their part not to get to power. Many young men have been cut short because of their aspiration politically. So it is not a terrain for the lily livered to flourish like other endeavors like economy, social and media outlets. In politics, you have to be strong because that is where all other policies of government stem from.
It is inseparable from everyday life, politics has become part of the journey of life. Politics is a way of getting something, every citizen must learn political science so that they are not mistaken in interpreting it.
If politics is only as simple as elections, it will always be self-defeating because of it. Awareness is needed to advance the country consciously in politics, so that no one is harmed.

like its said, politics is everyone's business, you gotta know who your friends are because you never know, they do have enemies that will also be your enemies by just being affiliated with your friends. you can compare this to countries in which you will need to take sides because not taking sides may mean you are an enemy.
corporate politics is the worse. the workplace is not a good place to play around with politics but its does happen all the time.
