What are the difference and similarities between government and politics?

Government is the structure with which a society is governed. For the most part, the politics of the people helping to create a government influences the way a government operates. The two terms are part of each other. In this sense it can be said that politics and government are similar. But there is a difference as well between the two. And this sometimes is simply the manner in which the terms are used. For example: 1. The politics of the people creating the government as said earlier, determines how the government works; 1a. If the politics of the people creating the rules of the government are of the intent to have the government be an oppressive force, we then have this type of government. 2. Once the government is established and working, people with a specific political agenda may alter the ways the government works to the benefit of these certain politicians.


Can a child under 18 win money for instant win money games?

It is strictly dependent upon legislation- the law differs from country to country, and some countries have no legal restrictions at all. If you live in the US, it is not legal to gamble under the age of eighteen to twenty-one, depending upon the state and its specific laws and the policies of specific gambling establishments in that state. In Canada, it's eighteen to nineteen. In the UK, while it is not legal to gamble under the age of eighteen, sixteen year-olds may legally purchase lottery tickets. In most European countries, the legal gambling age limit is eighteen (France, for instance, lowered its limit from twenty-one in 1987), with some exceptions- Portugal, for instance, allows tourists to gamble at eighteen, but Portuguese constituents must wait until they are twenty-one (or even twenty-five according to many casino policies there). In Greece, one must wait until the age of twenty-three before being allowed to gamble. In some cases, a minor (or someone below the legal gambling age limit) may purchase a ticket with adult supervision or on an adult's behalf, but only an adult (or an individual above the legal gambling age limit) may claim any prizes won on that ticket.
