 1、summary

Politics is the process of social and economic decision-making of groups, not only within governments, but also in various human groups. Power is the ability to influence the actions of others, while authority is the claim to the legitimacy and legitimacy of power. Violence is often used in politics to maintain authority and power. Types of government include monarchy, democracy, totalitarianism, oligarchy, and theocracy, each with its own characteristics and influences. There are significant social stratification of political participation and the distribution of power, including factors such as gender, age, race and class. These stratification phenomena affect people's likelihood of voting and access to political power, reflecting the unequal distribution of power and resources in society.

2、Interesting place

Introduction to Political Science is interesting because it explores the fundamental principles and mechanisms of power, decision-making, and governance in human societies. Through political science, we can understand how governments form, function, and have an impact on society. This includes the comparison of different political systems, the mechanism of power distribution, the process of making and implementing political decisions, and so on. At the same time, political science also involves the fields of international relations, political philosophy, political economy, etc., which enables us to understand the global political pattern and historical development more comprehensively. In addition, political science focuses on important issues such as civic participation, democratic principles, and social change, prompting us to think and discuss social justice, the functioning of power, and individual freedom.

3、problem 

Which groups are more likely to participate in politics and gain power in modern societies? How does this inequality affect social equity and development?

The key processes include observing phenomena, constructing hypotheses, planning experiments, collecting data, analyzing results, and summarizing conclusions. The scientific method focuses on proof and repeatability, using experiments and observations to test hypotheses during research, and adjusting or confirming theories based on data. 2.

  summarize The scientific method is not a single recipe. It requires intelligence, creativity and imagination. In this sense it is not a blind standard or procedure, but more a way of thinking that encourages us to remain open and critical, constantly challenging and validating existing theories.

About the points I learned 1. The scientific method is based on careful observation and rigorous skepticism. This means that scientists should not readily accept any ideas or assumptions, but should always question and think critically about observational data. 2.Scientific inquiry is not merely the pursuit of truth, but the process of shedding inhibited skepticism and establishing reliable beliefs.

 Summary: Social stratification is a multidimensional concept encompassing the impact of factors such as wealth, income, race, education, and occupation on individuals' social status. In modern Western societies, social stratification is typically divided into upper class, middle class, and lower class, with each class further subdivided into smaller categories. Social stratification is not only about quantitative inequalities but also involves beliefs and attitudes toward social status. Within complex social structures, there exist various stratification phenomena, with the most privileged individuals and families enjoying disproportionate access to income, power, and other social resources. Social mobility refers to the movement of individuals, social groups, or populations between or within layers of the stratification system. Open stratification systems allow for mobility between individuals, whereas closed systems have minimal mobility, with social status often remaining uncha
