What to Focus On
- Politics is not limited to government office or elections.
- Politics includes negotiation, protest, discussion, and collective action.
- Government policies affect everyday life in direct ways.
- Political theory explains political ideas systematically.
- It studies values such as freedom, equality, and justice.
- Political concepts have many meanings, unlike mathematical shapes.
- Human beings can reason and reflect on actions.
- Human beings can communicate through language.
- Political theory grows from these twin capacities.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Politics means only the activities of politicians and elections.
Political theory is only about memorising definitions of freedom, equality, and justice.
Freedom, equality, and justice have one fixed meaning just like a mathematical formula.
