Full Description
How are governments formed? How do political ideas shape society? What is propaganda?
As part of the My World series, Politics succinctly explains to children in a fun and engaging way the fundamental concepts of politics and how it plays a huge role in our lives and culture.
The clear and concise text and vibrant and characterful illustrations break down seemingly complex and abstract topics such as nationalism, freedom of speech and power in an easy-to-understand fashion.
By learning how governments are formed, how they operate, how voting and political ideas shape society and what propaganda is, the reader will be able to come to their own, informed views of the world of politics they see on the news and in the world around them.
