This document discusses the definitions and concepts of politics and history. Politics is defined as the process of selecting rulers and making collective decisions, as well as the distribution of power and resources. It involves conflict, cooperation, and resolving disputes. History is defined as the study and investigation of past events, people, places, and time periods using primary and secondary sources. Studying history helps understand the present and improves judgment. Both politics and history are important for cultural understanding, identity, and preparing for the future, but history as a discipline faces issues like correcting errors and reinterpreting facts from a new perspective.
