and good society. Politics is about all. Thats social activity do in the emergence society. Politics is
broads sense that activity through which people make, and to amend the rules under which they live.
On the other hand people recognize that they should work together to upheld the rules, Hannah
Aredent’s defined that poltics is political power in ‘acting in concert’. However politics is broad sense
of better through to search conflict resolution. The Meaning of politics, nevertheless is must
accordiang by two meaing, the first is mass of associations or ‘loaded’ term. Samuel Johnson said that
politics as ‘ nothing more than rising the world’ and while in the nineteenth century US historian
Henry Adams summed up politics as ‘the systematic organization of hatreds. The second definition of
Politic is about exercise the power, science of government, manipulation, and allocation of scarce
resource. Politics always practiced in all social context and institutions, or in great ones.

For the example is politics action of the rise Women’s Liberation in the nineteenth century on the
campaign for female suffrage. Protest has challange to rise of ‘feminity’ took place. In 1968 and 1969
in America there are demonstrators raising the feminism and brought the writen of symbol of
oppression into ‘freedom traschan’ demonstrators claimed that a great deal of publicity and also
acquired a false reputation. In this phenomena explain that womans also have to get the influental
feature of political position not just about public politics but also the personal politic.in this prespective
women are going challenging patriarchy opperetion. The contrasting stereotypes of ‘masculanity’ and
‘feminity’ should be take take within family which encourage men to domination women to accept the
subordination.(chapter 1 pg.11)

years. China have the good economy and sat as second largest economy in the world. After USA

Economy trade in the World. China has engage selective in the globalization, they take the advantage
of expansion of global Market which is keeping currency cheap in relations to the US dollar. And also
Chinese government invest heavily infrastucture projects and gears its foreign policy towards the goal
achieving resource security, in paticular by guaranteeing supplies of oil, iron, alumunium, and other
industrial materials. And the key souces of China is about since the mid-2000 there have been signs of
wage inflations in China. This is suggest the cheap labour undercut manufacturing globalization in
China.

For the example is WikiLeaks was launched in 2006 as project of the sunshine Press Wikileaks has
published a massive quantity of document on issues ranging from War killing detention to supersion of
free speech and free press and also climate change. Making News in the technology era made
Wikileaks being responsible for the biggest leak of secret history. Wiki had the two concerned position
about positive and negative side. The positive side that WiliLeaks has announced to the public about
the unethical behavior and public showed the freedom underpains democracy. That can allow citizen
to make up their own minds, having all informations from all sources not only marely officials. But the
negative side is WiiLeaks had attrached critism from the US. ( pg. 184)

reflect impact of government and also society. Because it could be ability to make better things. Policy
process are relates to the mechanism trough which public policy is made. There are two ways first is
involve a link series of actions, and second is process of distinguish act of the government. It focuses
on the way in which policy is made. Making the decisions are designed in the policy process like
rationalism and incrementalims. Intermentalism is usually portrayed as the principal alternative to
rational decision.

Organization of the bureauracy is important for two reason first is affect the degree public accountable
and political control. And the second is way organization basis of purpose or function. For example is
in Japan, in 1950 Japan’s GDP was roughy equal that Euthopia and Somailia and during the 1950 and
1960 Japan called by ‘Miracle economy’ by the 1980 Japans export oriented growth was increasingly
in East Asia. It is because bureaucratic was played in the process of political economy for growth by
identified Japan. This is because the leader of Japan had a high status and compromised Japan
transition. Gradually, Japan seen long – term popular in the economy. Especially in the grade
Globalizaton.( pg 372)

For the conclusion is there any political crisis or No? As the reading from the book, politics are
making society through better in the public, politic are helped the society aimed higher democracy and
freedom of think. In addition if there is some accident like corruptions and the mess government it
depend by the personality itself. As we know that politics are always defnitly use in all of aspect in the
life. And purpose to getting better way.
