Politics Is The Art Of Social Compromise

The "power of a cartoon" is an honestly truthful answer.

There are many definitions for the term "Politics." However, very few of these textbook definitions are truly succinct, concise, and clearly explanative of this frequently utilized social term.


For Instance:

• Wikipedia says: "Politics is a process by which groups of people make collective decisions. The term is generally applied to behavior within civil governments, but politics has been observed in other group interactions, including corporate, academic, and religious institutions. It consists of social relations involving authority or power and refers to the regulation of a political unit, and to the methods and tactics used to formulate and apply policy."
• FreeDictionary.com says: "Politics is the art [or science] of government or governing, especially the governing of a political entity, such as a nation, and the administration and control of its internal and external affairs."
• Knowledgerush.com says: "Politics is the study and conduct of decision-making power (who's got it, and who hasn't) at the inter-social and societal levels."

  
Politics is, "The art of social compromise - within a much larger society - of opposite and competing factions." Contrary to all of those previous definitions, Politics has absolutely nothing to do with government specifically; or even directly! Politics is a [mere] fact of innate human life - which occurs everywhere two, or more, individual humans are gathered together. It occurs within America's: churches, businesses, civic organizations, schools, and even public playgrounds. Everywhere some sort of social compromise is [honestly] required, politics is an absolute societal necessity!

Some Claim That Greed Is The Problem With Capitalism

Modern Americans, like many others around the world, think that, “Greed is the problem with Capitalism…” Some, few, are even wise enough to understand that Greed is only a problem when taken to extremes or excess… but, very few indeed, possess any true insight into the true and very real nature of the problem. Greed has never been a problem for Capitalism, at all…. It is a problem for Humanity, alone!

Capitalism has never been greedy! It is the [mere] mechanical process, or factual underlying instrument, of our common and altogether human existence. It neither: wishes to factually bless us, nor to inflict any intentional harm. Capitalism is inherently “Neutral” with respect to our personal human relations, and treats us all: equally, fairly, and impartially - under its utterly principled and God-given laws! Nor, could it conceivably do [through any means] otherwise.
