Overview of the Lesson
This course introduces the students to the basic concepts and vital elements of politics and governance from a historical-institutional perspective. In particular, it attempts to explain
how the important features of our country’s political structures/institutions, processes, and relationships developed across time. In the process, the course helps the learners gain a better
appreciation of their rights and responsibilities as individuals and as members of the larger sociopolitical community to strengthen their civic competence.
The Greeks formulated the word politics during the 4th and 5th century. Politics was inseparable from life in the polis or a place or state shared by a certain group of people. This
concept of politics may be as old as the first organization created by man. According to Aristotle and Plato, humans are not self-sufficing so they find the need to come together as a
community. From this union comes the need for politics and governance to maintain order within a society. Social contract theorists like Thomas Hobbes, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and John
Locke during the 17th and 18th century Europe stressed that the hypothetical state of nature that was devoid of any kind of government. This state of nature is often violent and chaotic;
therefore, people enter themselves into a social contract or a written or unwritten binding agreement among the people that bids for the creations of a government and the consequent use
of politics for the achievement of peace and order (Baradat 1997).

6. For Students with Fairly Sufficient Level on Pre-requisite Content-knowledge and/or Skill(s): Cite three theories or ideologies that you know.
Introduction:
The goal of every government is to mobilize its citizens to achieve a common end, that is, the welfare of the state as a whole. As a guide, governments use ideologies to help them
consolidate the support of their constituents. It is also through ideology that civil societies go against oppressive governments. Ideology is basically defined as political statements that aim to
call upon massive mass or government action to achieve a relatively better political and economic condition. This definition is the product of numerous views from different political scientists
and philosophers through time from the classical to the modern period. Some of the philosophers were social contract theorists: John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Thomas Hobbes;
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engles; Frederick Watkins, David Ingersoll, L. T. Sargent, and Terence Ball. On the other hand, the first formal use of ideology as a political science jargon was made by
Claude Destutt De Tracy (1754-1836) when he was studying the enlightenment of Europe.

For Students with Fairly Sufficient Level on Pre-requisite Content-knowledge and/or Skill(s): Described the following terms: Political Science, Polis, Justice, Law and

Introduction:
In their attempt to classify and better understand power, Barnett and Duvall (Pallaver 2011) created the taxonomy of power with four major types: 1. Compulsory power – the direct
control of one actor of the conditions and actions of another. 2. Institutional power – the indirect ways in which an actor affects another, an example is the use or the law to impose order. 3.
Structural power – basically looks at the position and the roles of various actors in relation to each other. Examples are coach to player, boss to worker, or captain to crew relationships
wherein the position of each player toward another provides them roles and responsibilities that they plan even without one coercing the other. 4. Productive power – similar to structural
power that looks into the relative position of the actors, the social production of their roles, and hoe the roles affect the actors’ perceptions and actions. However, productive power focuses
not on the direct structures provided and accepted by each actor, but on the discourse between the actors in which power is negotiated. According to Aristotle in his politics, there are
situations where power in government is corrupted by the personal and selfish goals of individuals. Because of these egoistic goals, individuals pursue laws and intervene with social services
to achieve personal rather than communal gains. This is true throughout the history of man wherein various individuals pursue laws and intervene with social services to achieve personal
rather than communal gains. This is true throughout the history of man wherein various individuals identified by Thomas Carlyle (1841) as “Great Men” of history. Such as dictators and
despots like Pol Pot and Adolf Hitler who used the power vested on them by their respective governments to pursue personal ambitions over the welfare of their people. In studying politics,
we must be aware and accept the fact that power, as a central concept, is dynamic and as different forms, depending on who imposing power is, and how that power is expressed.

Introduction:
The is essentially determined by the number of rulers, the way power is exercised by theses rulers, and ideologies that guide the government. It was an ancient Greece that the forms
of government that we know today were founded, such as (the rule of the people or the many), (the rule of the privileged few), and (the rule of one individual). At the present, there are
different terms being used to refer to different types of regimes like constitutional monarchy, guided democracy, and communist rule but they are basically under democracy, oligarchy, and
tyranny. It is interesting to note that Aristotle considered the three forms of government as examples of bad governments. In Politics, he included the “good” version of each form of “bad”
government
