Why study Politics?
‘Man is a political animal’ Aristotle
‘Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even when there is no river.’ Nikita Khrushchev
‘People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they never use.’
Ideas are far more powerful than guns. We don’t allow our enemies to have guns, why should we allow them to have ideas? Joseph Stalin
These quotations neatly illustrate the reasons why the study of politics is so important.
