(Cc.1) Politics is the process by which
a society and its members create and prosecute its
code of ethics. The result of its creation is
typically a code of laws which are prosecuted by
an agent of authority from within the
framework of a government to carry out the laws.
(Cc.2) While laws are not ethics in and of themselves,
they reflect the collective morals of each society as
a cause for their creation and enforcement. When laws or
governments no longer reflect the moral values of their society,
the political process typically will result in changes
in them.
(Cc.3) Laws being based on ethics and
ethics and they being based on morals, politics
tends to be an emotional process with emotions often
becoming sovereign over reason. Indeed, politics typically
evokes the use of emotions of fear, hate, distrust, hope, anger,
etc. As such politics often results in the creation of irrational
laws for which emotions rather than reason prevails.
(Cc.4) Politics is often the source of social
discord within a society because politics seldom
produces unanimity within a society. Personal morals of
individuals vary which are reflected in their thoughts and actions.
Accordingly, politics often results in the division of a society into
two separate societies which may coexists together in a
common location or in the physical separation of the two societies.
In both cases the result is cultural segregation. The politics
of coexistence of two societies in a common location are
fraught with conflict.
(Cc.5) Politics is fundamentally the process by which a society
decides who does what and who gets what.
(Cc) Politics is the process by which a society and its members create and prosecute its code of ethics for execution by a government and enforcement by an agent of authority, resulting in laws that determine who does what and who gets what within the society. Politics is dominated by morals and emotions.
