Abstract: A) The expression "politics" derives from the Greek word "Polis", which means city.
Hence this first approach to the concept of "politics" and which he understood or defined as the government of the citizens, that is, that activity of leading the men who live in the city.
However, it must be noted that the concept of city that the Greeks had does not correspond to what we have today of that notion.
Currently, we understand by city that material infrastructure consisting of buildings, streets and squares that form a material unit, which, depending on its size, we call metropolis, city, town, hamlet or hamlet.
For the Greeks, the city was the set of citizens, and understood as such the inhabitants who had or held the legal status of citizens.
Given the above, in an example of the present era, we could point out that not all the inhabitants of our country are Chileans, but only those who hold our nationality.
Being Chilean is a legal category; not all people living in Chile are; they also exist, from the national perspective, they are foreigners.
