Politics is my choice because it has a greater impact on our daily lives than

we realize. Politics is the discipline of maximizing resource allocation for the

common good. It necessitates a high level of comprehension and ability. The
common man, too, need a rudimentary understanding of politics,
particularly in a democracy, which is fundamentally a check-and-balance
mechanism. A democracy is not administered by the government alone, but
by citizens and the government working together. A politically conscious
society is one that is concerned about the well-being of its citizens. One of
the unpleasant truths of life in the real world is that, unless you are in a
position of power and can use that influence to bring about the desired
change, your opinions count far less than you believe they do. It makes no
difference whether you believe that war is evil or that something should be
prohibited. There are many powerful forces in the world campaigning to
ensure that they have their way, and if your perspective isn't strong and
convincing enough to cause a butterfly effect and a mass movement, no
number of placard marches or Facebook posts will be able to change things
in the near term. This is when politics comes into play. It allows you to
bestow power on someone you can trust to represent the causes you
believe in, and in the event that no such person is available, it permits 'you'
to represent your cause so that you can utilize the power to bring about the
change you seek.
