What are the potential positive and negative effects of political?

Answer 1

Politics is a part of life and unavoidable. Google "family politics" and there are 83,800,000 results! More than eighty three million results for family politics alone, unavoidable indeed. There are, of course, many negative sides to politics as anyone of an ethical nature who has read the Prince by Machiavelli knows full well. The Prince is best known for its dictum; "the ends justify the means". While Niccolo Machiavelli qualified this remark by suggesting that such a principle should not be used by any individual for profit or gain or self improvement the truth of the matter is the ends do not justify the means and all ends are a result of the means that led to that end. The Prince is often embraced by many politicians who use it as a source to gain political power. Of course, it was that famous 19th century politician Lord Acton who once said; "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." If what Lord Acton said is true, then it is also true that when a politician who embraces Machiavellian principles to gain power it is almost certain that leads to a corrupt politician. Politics should not be an absolute path towards corruption. Politics should just be the means by which we cooperate with others. Whether it be the politics of government, the politics of groups, family politics or sexual politics, politics work best when they are used as a tool to cooperate with others. In his famous Discourse on Politics Aristotle had much to say about the issue. In fact, it is at the end of Nicomachean Ethics declares that any inquiry into ethics necessarily leads to politic. It is Aristotle who said: "For man, when perfected, is the best of animals, but, when separated from law and justice, he is the worst of all; since armed injustice is more dangerous." Law and justice are profound reasons for political action whether that be the law and justice of state or of family and to this degree politics is clearly a positive action.

Answer 2

Political parties make it clear for voters when deciding who to vote for, and keep the names on the ballots low. They can also be negative because they usually follow a particular set of ideas and intentionally pick polar opposites instead of allowing for a middle ground.

Answer 3

The positive effects of politics are evident when laws are passed that broadly advance society and the people within. The negative effects are when laws are passed that favor a narrow few for monetary gain, or deny rights to a targeted group of citizens.
