Definition

  • Often times, the political sphere's understated preference for the mundane seems to be best understood as a ringing endorsement of routine and formality and a stinging rebuke of conflict and struggle. However, because most political arrangements—outside of anarchic examples—are structured on some sort of hierarchical system of authority, it is almost inevitable that politics will at some point become contentious.
