Politics

By Hugo Armijo

Politics is one of the most important aspects in which people can be involved. In a sense,

we all create politics in different ways. We can define politics as the process by which

groups of people make decisions. David Easton describes politics as “ the authoritative

allocation of values for a society”. All kinds of groups of people, such as governments,

corporations, religions and others take part in it. Generally we associate politics with

countries and their governments. In Chile we have different political parties, some of them

have left or right tendencies which divide opinions and it is determined in the congress

where Deputies and Senators are identified with their own parties and where, by majority,

the country´s laws are voted or refused. We know that there are good or bad politicians and

therefore, their behavior can improve or corrupt a society.

A good politician is honest, transparent, interested in people and the most important, a

consistent person.

I hope that our country is able to go ahead under good politicians who have a real

interest in people.
