1.  Summary
 
 This article is about politics.
Politics is the rule of the country. The activities of obtaining, maintaining and exercising the power of the nation serve as activities for the people to lead decent lives, to coordinate mutual understanding, and to correct social order.
Politics is related to power, authority, and violence.
There are various forms of governance,  monarchy, democracy, totalitarianism, oligarchy, Communist State, Theocracy.
 
2 .What was interesting/what did we learn:

 Until I read this article, I had no idea that there were government forms such as oligarchae and Theocracy.
I read this article to find that there are more forms of government than I think.
In the election-related content, we saw data showing that teenagers and 20-somethings in the United States were less interested in politics. I think this is the same situation for Korea. The society in which we live is determined by politics. Therefore, even young people should be interested in politics.

3. Discussion points:
 Why do younger people have less interest in politics or voter turnout? And what's the solution?
