Politics

Politics is one of the most discussed topics nowadays. The fact that many people discuss political matters, which affect their lives and the fact that they can influence politics by their active position, is one of unquestionable achievements of democracy. Politics is interesting to people of different age groups, social classes and people of various professions. There are two approaches to politics: a professional approach and dilettantish one. Professional approach implies deep analysis, prognostication, global and holistic view on a problem. Dilettantish one is on the contrary: it is narrow-minded and simplified. It mostly refers to citizens, who are interested in politics so far as it influences their welfare and wage rates. Among these people conspiracy theories are very popular. For them it is very difficult to understand the laws of international market, economic laws and so on. For them it is much simpler to imagine an image of an almighty person or a group of such persons, who rule this world and that everything in global policy depends on them. It is very interesting and a little bit paranoiac point of view and it has been existed for a long time and seems to last many years ahead because these theories are impossible to prove or refute. One thing is obvious here: this is the easiest way to comprehend, understand and explain all the intricacies of the global policy to a little and narrow-minded person, who knows nothing in international economical and political relations.
