Why do we study politics?

Answer 1

Politics is an important field, since politicians have great power, and to a large extent, run the world. Many people would like to either become politicians themselves, or at least learn how to influence or deal with politicians.

Answer 2

Those that do not study history are doomed to repeat it. Because so few people understand why we separated from England, we Americans are going down a very bad path. If more people understood politics, by studying it, we would never have the issues we are currently facing by the past few administrations.

Answer 3

Understanding the unique political beliefs and ideas of each individual offers a better perspective of an area's past as well as its future governing options. The specific ideas also present an accurate look at morality among a society.

Answer 4

you would study political theory if you were a Richard cranium ;) i, personally hate it, and my teacher.
