“Everything change time by time” perhaps is that the right word to be used as a parable about the public view of politics. It would be so much different from Aristotle’s politics with politics according to our society today. Aristotle can be considered the first person to introduce a political word through his observations of the man he calls Zoon Politikon. In that term, he explains that the nature of social life is politics and the interaction between two or more people is bound to be a political relationship.
Aristotle sees politics as a natural tendency and cannot be avoided by humans, for example when he tries to determine his position in society, to find a personal peace, and to influence others to accept his perspective. It is reduced by maximal and medium effort. Interaction takes place within institutions designed to resolve social conflicts and the formation of state goals. Indirectly, that means Aristotle’s perspective is correct. With the politics of social issues concerning the masses will be solved. However, that perspective does not seem preserved by society today.
Nowadays, so many people assumed that all things related to politics are not good. Politics is connoted as deception, lies, trickery, hostility, or something worse. Society considers all those who enter the world of politics will become dirty, far from the good stuff and will not fit the humanity fairy. Although not all politicians are bad, they are already bent, so it’s hard to change. They will always say that all things related to politics should be shunned. That was more interesting and makes trust’s issues to politics.
The more often following the political news, public confidence in political life is increasingly collapsed. An intensity of society in following the political news also affect the poor perspective of society on politics. But all of them is not only based on information disseminated through newspapers or television, but also through online media or social networking, 72 percent of respondents are free from politicians. In addition, the pessimistic society’s politicians will fulfill their political promises and accuse politicians of being a bunch of people who take personal advantage. Referring to this, society should be able to understand and give a grace period for politicians to fulfill all the promises. We should be their accompanist in order to realize what He has promised, to realize what ever become the desire and ideas together. In addition, we need to know in this world nothing is instant, to change to a better realm of course also definitely takes time.
Politics is not something that we should stay away from. Do not look at politics from the one perspective, because everything in this world has two different sides, good and bad. From that difference created diversity and beauty. Politics cannot be separated from our habits or anythings. Like what Aristotle has said as a natural politics and cannot be defended by humans. So, it is clear, whether the politics is not always about the ugliness. Because on, whatever the situation and the condition of politics will still be needed and become important in the life of society, nation, and state.
