Practical Politics: Definition And Examples

YOGYAKARTA - Human life in society has an important role in the political method of a country. Humans, in their position as social beings, will always interact with other humans in an effort to create their necessities of life.

More than that, it also includes the need for self-recognition and respect from others in the form of pride, payment of work, status as a member of society, a member of a certain political party and so on.

Every citizen, in his daily life is almost always in contact with practical political aspects, whether symbolic or not. In the implementation of the process, it can occur immediately or indirectly with political practices.
