Politics is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups.

All the bad connotations we get from the word are because humans are humans. There is no better model that works in any kind of society/ organization/ group other than "politics".

Somebody "ethics" may not be the same as others. (Is it ethic to spend a lot of money and deliver something that does not fit the expectations of the ones that provided the money? It may be easy to make users happy - just give them free movies, etc.)
