    Being as this is the political forum what are politics? Is it clearly defined or is like a judge once said about obscenity that he cant define it but knows it when he see's it
    Starting with the etymology of the word.
    The English politics has its roots in the name of Aristotle's classic work, Politiká, which introduced the Greek term politiká (Πολιτικά, 'affairs of the cities'). In the mid-15th century, Aristotle's composition would be rendered in Early Modern English as Polettiques [sic],[a][10] which would become Politics in Modern English.

    one definition states :
    is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations between individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status.

    What does it mean to you?
