"Is everything political?"

Most of the people are confused, curious, questioning, debating, this phrase "Is everything is political?". Just like the other people, I also questioned myself why everything is political. Politics have a lot of meanings. It can be about the government, how society works, how the government gains power, how a person should make a decision, how the people should follow the rules in the society, and how much power should the people have.

According to Skwarecki (2017), Everything is political, and it always has been. Politics is what the government does, and what opinions people have about what the government should do.

As Hanisch says, the personal is political. The women's personal problems were political because of gender inequality. She argued that the personal experiences of women can be traced to one’s location within a system of power relationships.

She added that "political" refers to any power relationships, not just those of government or elected officials. One example is the ability of people to afford health insurance and access care (or not) is considered political because it was shaped by the actions or inactions of a government. Also, if the student can't attend his/her, online class, because their internet is too weak is also political. That is a public issue which is the inaccessibility of students in education.

Is everything political? Yes. And it will never stop.

WHY?

Because politics dictate our life, what we can do and say. Everything that we do in our daily life is political. And all the things that we need are also political since we are part of society. Also, the things that we can't get or afford are affected by politics. Even our religion, the decision to get married is political. I realized that we can't separate politics from our life. Because of that, I definitely agree that everything is political. But some people don't understand and agree with why everything is political. They prefer to not talk and ignore this question. You can tell that our personal problem has a big impact in our society because everything is political. And we have to accept the fact that all things in our lives are politically connected and we can’t stop it.
