sometimes referred to as "climax".
That is a way and one that I support of doing this: Politics is how we
order society and meet the needs of society's members."
The word "politics" comes from Middle French politique, "political" from
Latin politicus "of citizens" or "the state, civil, civic," from Greek
politikos "of citizens or the state", from polites, "citizen", from polis,
"city".
Perhaps we need to work with the original meaning of the word rather than
a reinterpretation.
