    If you enjoyed this video, here's another: czcams.com/video/G4w9F1yNuGw/video.html&ab_channel=Wondrium . It's from my 24-lecture series on "Democracy and Its Alternatives", published by Wondrium. The topic is: Do Political Parties Help or Hurt?

      Quick question, if given a chance would you major in it again? I’m going back and am planning on studying it but haven’t spoke with anyone who’s majored in it

    One of the greatest lectures I've heard on the definition of politics. It truly gives a whole picture and a concrete answer to my question.

    Thanks for all the views and positive feedback on this video. In the comments below, please take a minute to tell me how you found it. Were you just searching for the word "politics"? Did you hear about it from someone else? Was it assigned for a class? I'm curious to know how so many people managed to find out about it.

      This is very excellent lecture sir.
      I really like the way you teach.
      I come across the word politics from a book titled "The comparative politics" by an indian writer.
      Please share more education on politics. Very useful.
      Looking forward

    Just typed in What is Politics and your lecture came up. When you mentioned the lecture leading up to this one, I decided that I'd take a look at it first and then come back to the exact match for my search term. I followed about 11 minutes, and really liked what I heard. I'm in the Free State Province of South Africa.

    Watching this since im taking an online Comparative Politics class and had a hard time understanding what my teacher meant/was trying to say. This just made it so much easier. Also I previously read this professors book it was amazing I highly recommend.

    I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I searched "comparative politics" to better understand what I'm getting into next semester (sociology major, PoliSci minor)
    The pizza analogy is brilliant; I could derive many scenarios from it.
    Thank you!

    I'm taking an online class for Comparative Politics, but I'm used to the lecture/in-class setting still. So personally, I searched on CZcams for "intro to comparative politics" and yours was about third on the list, but looked like an actual classroom. Thank you so much for posting!

      Friends! Russia is in deep trouble, extincting. Less then 90 millions of living here, while authorities either repeat fairy-tales about the quarter-century old statistics. With it's rulers, pushing the nation into the "friendly embraces" of terrible China. But if you say "Putin's regime", be acknowledged that it is the most part of rich people, who "fled" from Russia. Some of them made scandals before leaving Russia. Just to show off that they were opposition and therefore had to leave. Don't beleive them and don't provide them cooperation.
      I am not talking about common people. Most of the common people who'd fled ex-Soviet republics are victims. If they are not unexplainably rich.

    This was really helpful for me! Thank you very much for providing this lecture!
    I've always felt really inept whenever discussions of politics came up so I've always remained quiet in those sorts of discussions. So I decided to search "Intro to Political Science" on CZcams to try to take a first step to being more active in those discussions and clicked on someone's video which discussed the different sub-topics of Political Science(which included Comparative Politics which I suspect will appeal to me most). After getting done with that video, I found your video in the list of recommended. I thoroughly enjoyed this lecture and I loved the connection to picking toppings on a pizza cause that made it feel a lot easier for me to connect to.
    I would definitely watch more of your lectures if you have them! This was super interesting to me as someone who's field of study is a bit far off from the social sciences.

It's available on Wondrium.com (with a free trial membership) and by DVD or electronic download on TheGreatCourses.com. You can also get it as an audiobook on Audible or Amazon.

    See, as much as the content is interesting, i particularly notice the body language of professors' basically, and that body language has a unique dance movement.
    Tibetan dance essentialy captures that element, it helps people flex their muscles and loosen tensions be it of any kind, politics or otherwise, kind of like a warm up routine.

    Politics is this: Never tell the truth, never keep what you promise, never answer anything you are asked and always blame the opposition for whatever goes wrong. And specifically for the US: Find as much trash and scandals about your opponent as you possibly can.

  • @jeanhduemancabral8492
    @jeanhduemancabral8492 Před 4 lety

    Well about “Politics “I believe some people are interested in Politics means they look for Power, also they love worlds stuffs, like making more and more money, so they can have power, they side for people who are good looking, wether they are in the right or wrong.but they are not interested in spiritual beliefs, the unseen truth in situations, or Godly things, have a heart to feel for the “Deserving cases.

    Excellent simple explanation, now I understand what 'politics' mean. Before, I had been using this word many times but without crystal clear understanding. Could we replace 'reconcile' word with a simple one in the definition of politics.

    • @ethanhollander3503
      @ethanhollander3503 Před 3 lety

      Thank you! Yes, maybe a simpler definition -- but one that means the same thing -- would be to say that "Politics is the process we use to make a group decision when people in the group want different things." (I didn't think of that way of phrasing it until after the video was posted!)
