Having hard time understanding the actual word meaning
In: 3
basically it refers to the difference and conflicts that arise when different people want <insert thing here> to go in different directions.
in the real world, “politics” often refer to what people’s “political views” are and what “direction” they want the country to go in, ie what laws and such they want passed. do they want abortion laws? do they not want abortion laws? do they want stronger/weaker immigration laws? illegal immigration? etc.
in the office, when talking of company/office politics, it typically refers to the same thing. people tend to want to do things that make themselves look good, so they can get a promotion. and when two people both want to make themselves look good, but the thing they want to do is not mutually exclusive, there will be conflict. for example, people who steal credit from coworkers, or people who create a group of like minded individuals and consolidate power over a team/group/division and collude to only promote those they like, etc.
