  • Essays 'Is Everything Political?', 1.
Extract

The statement that 'everything is political' has some very strong arguments on either side. Politics does in some way affect everything that happens to us in everyday life, things such as tax, laws and employment opportunity are some examples of what the government has some control over. It is argued that if the concept of politics is stretched too far it loses its meaning, for everything to be political our society would cease to be a democratic nation. We would be under total control of the government, this would more likely be a despotic society rather than democratic.
