Politics

Politics (from Greek: politikos, meaning "of, for, or relating to citizens") is the practice
and theory of influencing other people on a global, civic or individual level. More narrowly, it
refers to achieving and exercising positions of governance organized control over a human
community, particularly a state. Furthermore, politics is the study or practice of the distribution of
power and resources within a given community (a hierarchically organized population) as well as
the interrelationship(s) between communities. A variety of methods are employed in politics,
which include promoting one's own political views among people, negotiation with other political
subjects, making laws, and exercising force, including warfare against adversaries. Politics is
exercised on a wide range of social levels, from clans and tribes of traditional societies, through
modern local governments, companies and institutions up tosovereign states, to the international
level.
A political system is a framework which defines acceptable political methods within a given
society. History of political thought can be traced back to early antiquity, with seminal works such
as Plato's Republic, Aristotle's Politics and the works of Confucius.
Computer Engineering
Computer engineers embed computers in other machines and systems, build networks to
transfer data, and develop ways to make computers, faster, smaller, and more capable.
Computer engineers are improving the ability of computers to "see" and "think." They are
making computers more mobile, and even incorporating computers into fabrics, clothes, and
building materials. Computer engineers are concerned with analyzing and solving computer-
oriented problems. CPEs understand both the hardware and the software of computers. This
enables them to choose the solution that is best, not just the one they know. Sometimes the
answer to making a program more efficient is a change in the computer itself. Sometimes it's
cheaper and faster to change the software than the hardware. The knowledge of both the
"body" and the "mind" of a computer helps computer engineers work at the microscopic level
and on a large, system-wide scale.
Scientist
A scientist, in a broad sense, is one engaging in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge. In a
more restricted sense, a scientist may refer to an individual who uses the scientific method.

The
person may be an expert in one or more areas of science.

This article focuses on the more
restricted use of the word. Scientists perform research toward a more comprehensive
understanding of nature, including physical, mathematical and social realms.
Philosophy can be seen as a distinct activity and which many consider not to be a science. It is
aimed towards a more comprehensive understanding of intangible aspects of reality and
experience that cannot be physically measured.
Scientists are also distinct from engineers, those who design, build and maintain devices for
particular situations. When science is done with a goal toward practical utility, it is called applied
science. An applied scientist may not be designing something in particular, but rather is
conducting research with the aim of developing new technologies and practical methods. When
science is done with an inclusion of intangible aspects of reality it is called natural philosophy.
