Classification of political power according to M.

Types of political power:

traditional - based on subordination to the leader (leader, king, president) due to established traditions and customs.
legal - is based on subordination not to the leader (leader, king, president), but to the laws within which representatives of power are elected and act.
- based on subordination to the leader (leader, king, president) due to his exceptional personal qualities.

These three types of power do not exist separately, in any political system there are elements of all types of power.

Many political scientists believe that political power in the modern world should be:

limited, that is, divided into legislative, executive, judicial.
regulated, that is, determined by the framework of the law and be under public control.
institutional, that is, to have a clear organization expressed in social institutions.
legitimate, that is, to have social and moral justification and recognition.

Once Confucius was driving near the mountains. A woman sobbed loudly over the grave. Leaning in respect on the front of the chariot, Confucius listened to her sobs. And then he sent his disciple to the woman, and he asked her: - You are killing yourself like that - it seems that you are not grieving for the first time? -The way it is. Once, my father-in-law died from the claws of a tiger. Then my husband died from them. And now my son is dead. Why don't you leave these places? Confucius asked. “There are no cruel authorities here,” the woman replied. What conclusion did Confucius draw from this conversation, what do you think?

Remember: The main spheres of society.
Think: How do you understand the meaning of the word "politics"? Why can't a society live normally without power?

This theme gives an idea of the political life of society. We hear the word "political" every day: a political organization, political information, etc. Newspapers, radio, television talk about politics, about political news. The word "apolitical" means "related to politics, to the implementation of politics."

What is politics? This word is of Greek origin, and it meant the art of government, state affairs. And in our time, the word “politicians” has become broader in its meaning. In the previous topics of the course (Grade 8) it was noted that society has a complex structure. Between various social classes, large groups of people occupying a certain position in society, between nations, states, various relations develop. Politics is the activity associated with the relations between large social groups, social strata, nations. But you already know that these relationships cover various areas, such as the economy. So, between the feudal lord, who owns the land, and the landless peasant dependent on him, there are economic relations. And if relations between social groups concern power, the state, if the power of the state is used to preserve or, on the contrary, to change these relations, then there are relations in the sphere of politics. Hence, politics is participation in the affairs of the state (determination of the form of the state, tasks, content of its activities); these are goals and means to achieve them, which are aimed at putting into practice the interests of large groups of people. (You will get acquainted with the material on the state in the next paragraph.)

In different social groups, in accordance with their position, there arises a different attitude towards the state, towards the government. Some of them support the government, others are in opposition to it. (Recall the attitude of various social groups of Russian society towards the government during the events of 1905.) Different interests give rise to a struggle between them for power, for influence on state affairs. All this is the realm of politics.

Political power. When we talk about power in general, we understand it like this: someone exercises power, that is, rules, manages, gives orders, and someone obeys, carries out these orders. We encounter such relationships in life all the time: for example, between an officer and a soldier, a traffic police inspector and a car driver, a teacher and a student. Power in these cases is not unlimited, it is limited to strictly defined functions of an officer, inspector, teacher. But within the framework of these functions, each of the named employees has the right to give orders, orders, make demands, and the soldier, or the driver, or the student is obliged to obey these requirements. When necessary, those in power can apply sanctions (punish those who do not follow orders, or perhaps reward them for following them in good faith).

Political power extends throughout society, its orders, directives (guidelines), requirements do not apply to individuals, but to large social groups, to all living within the borders of a given state. In turn, all those to whom the demands of the authorities relate are obliged to fulfill them; those persons (monarchs, presidents, heads of government, governors, etc.) or groups that rule (any classes, estates, “know”, organizations, etc.) have the opportunity to rely on the power of the state and, if necessary, to force submission to one's will, using the court, the police, the army. Of course, it is better if the rulers have authority, the population readily obeys their demands.

What did the Russian philosopher I. A. Ilyin (1883-1954) write about the power of power:

“The strength of power is, first of all, its spiritual and state authority, its respect, its recognized dignity, its ability to impress citizens. To set yourself an impossible task does not mean to show strength; wasting your authority is not the same as being strong. The strength of power is not manifested in shouting, not in fuss, not in pretentiousness, not in boasting and not in terror. The true power of power lies in its ability to call without threatening and to meet the right response among the people ... "

Political power plays a big role in any modern society. The tasks that it performs affect various spheres of social relations. It is the political power that governs society as a whole. It determines the main directions of the country's development, develops and adopts decisions aimed at eliminating urgent problems.

Power carries out daily management of the most important processes occurring in society. Among the tasks performed by the authorities is the maintenance of stability, the prevention of social upheavals that pose a threat to the life and well-being of citizens.

In his Address to the Federal Assembly on November 2008, President of the Russian Federation D. L. Medvedev took revenge: “We are striving for a just society of free people. We know that Russia will be a prosperous, democratic country. Strong and at the same time comfortable for life. The best in the world for the most talented, demanding, self-reliant and critical citizens.

So, power is the most important element of social organization. It allows, if necessary, to force large masses of people to perform certain tasks and decisions. Therefore, in society there is a struggle for power and its use for the implementation of a particular policy.

The role of politics in the life of society. Politics plays a big role in the development of society. Much depends on the policy pursued by the state, the government: better or worse will be the living conditions of various social groups, their well-being, whether cultural achievements will become available to them, whether their degree of freedom will increase or be eliminated altogether.

There have been many governments in history whose policies have served the interests of a minority and infringe on the rights of the majority of people. A truly democratic state is called upon to take care of all social groups, to take into account the interests of all nations and nationalities. However, the methods, sequence, and pace of solving the problems facing society may be different. Therefore, political disputes and discussions arise: what social groups need priority assistance? What economic policy will bring the fastest improvement in the life of the people? How can the interests of some nationalities be taken into account without infringing on the interests of others? How to ensure the external security of the country?

The solution of these and many other questions in politics determines whether people will live better or worse in the future. Therefore, disputes on various issues of politics, political struggle occupy a prominent place in the life of society and are reflected in the pages of newspapers, television screens, at rallies and meetings. Ultimately, supporters of various political decisions, various political organizations strive for the state to pursue a policy that meets their interests. Why? Because the state disposes of huge monetary and material resources, issues laws that are binding on all citizens, and has the power to stop the violation of the law.

In one study of the public opinion of Russians on issues of politics and power, it turned out that 66% share the following point of view: “Our country needs not so much laws and political programs as strong, energetic leaders who the people would trust.” 53% supported the following opinion:

"The President must become the sovereign master of the country, Only then will we break through." 51% of respondents agreed with the statement: “In Russia, it is necessary that the authorities be afraid. Otherwise, they won't respect her." 49% are inclined to such a formulation: "I don't care what methods a politician uses, if his activity is for the benefit of the people."

How do you feel about such opinions?

Today, the main question of the political life of Russia is the question of the ways, the pace of renewal of all spheres of life: society, the sequence of transformation. Members of various parties and other political organizations are actively involved in political activities. They hold meetings and conferences to discuss their goals and objectives. which, in their opinion, would most fully reflect the interests of various social groups and the entire people, to determine ways to influence state policy, to resolve the issue of participation in the work of government bodies. Party members organize rallies and other public events; distribute print publications to explain their goals; nominate candidates for deputies of various government bodies and campaign for them, trying to get the support of the largest possible number of people; express their attitude towards the state and the government; collect signatures under appeals to state bodies,

In the process of this activity, various forms of interaction of social groups, political parties, the state, individual limes arise, associated with the struggle against power, with the development, adoption and implementation of decisions of state power. In this interaction, the political life of society is manifested.

Political life and mass media. In modern society, political life largely depends on the means of communication between all its participants, i.e. means used to disseminate messages about ongoing events, to notify about political and other socially significant actions,

statements and decisions. These media are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and the Internet. These are social institutions that ensure the collection, processing and mass dissemination of information. The very name “mass media” (mass media) suggests that the messages they transmit are addressed to an unlimited circle of individuals, social groups, and organizations. Since a significant part of the population uses socio-political information disseminated by the media, especially through television channels, it has an impact on the political life of society.

Facts. A study conducted in Russia in 2004 showed that 31% of respondents watch news releases and information and analytical programs on political topics on TV regularly (every day), sometimes (several times a week) - 32%, quite rarely (from occasionally) - 23%, practically do not watch - 11%.

Thanks to the media, citizens of the country get an idea about the work of government bodies, the activities of political organizations, and the problems that exist in society. Under their influence, there is a feeling of involvement in ongoing events, many are involved in certain forms of political activity. Public interests are reflected in various media materials.

Technological progress has made it possible not only to quickly inform about what happened, but also to make people "witnesses" of events taking place far from them. The message about the event, supplemented by the image on the television screen, often leaves a strong impression on the viewer-listener. At the same time, it should be remembered that when transmitting information, material is selected: the one who transmits the information decides what to report and what to keep silent about, what to show and what not to include in the transmission. Information may become incomplete, one-sided. The message is often accompanied by comments that reflect the position of their author. All this makes it possible to influence people's views in one direction or another, their attitude to various phenomena of political life. In turn, the views and moods of people influence their political behavior. In the second half of the last century, the influence of the media on political life increased so much that the media began to be called the "fourth power".

The media influence not only the views and behavior of large masses of people, but also the authorities. They are able to raise serious issues of public life, to discuss current political problems from the standpoint of certain social groups, they can express various opinions about the activities of politicians. All this can influence the decisions of the authorities and the way these decisions are implemented.

“Politics requires great flexibility of mind from the people involved in it; she does not know the immutable, once for all given rules ... "
G. V. Plekhanov (1856-1918), Russian politician, philosopher "The power that governs to the detriment of the people is short-lived."

Answer plan:

1. Politics- social management system.

2. The role of politics in the life of society,

3. The essence of political power.

Politics is the sphere of relations between social groups in the implementation of common interests with the help of political power. Political power is the ability and ability to pursue a certain policy, using political parties, organizations, the state.

Politics - the art of government, state affairs, activities in the field of relations between large social groups, social strata, nations. Politics is participation in the affairs of the state, determining the form, tasks, content of the state's activities. Power, if necessary, forces large masses of people to perform certain tasks and decisions. In its desire to influence state power, each social group proceeds from its own interests. Politics is the goals and means of achieving them, which are aimed at putting into practice the interests of large groups of people through the state. Active representatives of large social groups who want to participate in political activities unite in political parties that formulate and express the interests of these forces. Parties substantiate political goals, develop ways of fighting for power, and strive to win the support of large masses of people.

A multi-party system plays an important role in the political life of society - this is the right of a citizen to vote for the political force that, having come to power, will pursue a policy in the interests of the general population - improving living conditions and well-being, increasing pensions, scholarships, protecting the rights and freedoms of citizens etc. Political power disposes of huge monetary and material resources, issues laws that are binding on all citizens, and has the power to stop the violation of the law. Political power extends to the whole society.

Power is the most important element of social organization. It allows, if necessary, to force large masses of people to perform certain tasks and decisions. Therefore, in society there is a struggle for power and its use for the implementation of a particular policy.

Man and culture

Planresponse:

1. Culture is the process of creating material and spiritual wealth in society.

2. Man-subject of culture.

3. The unity of man and culture.

Culture is a special environment transformed by society, i.e. society, transforming nature, creates a special environment-culture.

Culture is an essential characteristic of the life of society and is inseparable from man as a social being. In the process of life, a person is formed as a cultural and historical being. His human qualities are the result of his learning the language, familiarizing himself with the values and traditions existing in a given society, mastering the techniques and skills inherent in this culture, etc. Culture is the measure of the human in a person.

Initially, culture meant cultivation, cultivation of the soil, but later it acquired a more general meaning - the creation of any values (material, spiritual). The accumulation of cultural values is associated with their transfer from one generation to another (continuity). The most stable side of culture is cultural traditions - elements of social and cultural heritage that are not only passed on from generation to generation, but are also preserved for a long time, throughout the life of many generations - values, ideas, customs, etc. The formation of culture involves not only the preservation of the best elements of the old, but also the creation of a new one, the increment of cultural wealth in the process of creativity, when new values acquire social significance.

An important sign of the cultural development of a person, society is the presence of the necessary conditions for the manifestation and development of the creative forces, abilities, talents of a person - music and art schools, interest clubs, amateur theaters, etc.

The crisis situation that has developed in Russia is manifested with particular force in the culture of our society: the decline of morality, "violence, low funding for culture, the clogging of the Russian language with foreign words, swear words, the leakage of specialists abroad, etc. All this led to a sharp drop in the cultural level of a person, a people.However, over the past two years, the Russian government has outlined a comprehensive program to correct the current situation.
