This allows them to actively participate in the activities of the country in accordance with what they have the political status of the individual. The political system of society is characterized by the separation of people according to their level of activity. So, there are the following types:

- Полусознательный.As an example, political conformism can be cited. That is, the person tries to adapt to the circumstances, while taking the most advantageous position. The latter does not always work.

About personality
Everyone within society isowner of a certain place. Some functions are assigned to it, there are rights and obligations. Due to this, the person receives a certain status. In addition to the political form, the latter may also have a social, legal and so on. In the Russian Federation, this status of a person is legally established (that is, that it has the rights, freedoms and duties) in the second chapter of the Constitution.
The political status of the individual is characterized bywhat a person has in society a set of relevant roles. These may be: party functionary, rally participant, voter, and so on. Political statuses can be informal and formal. So, the rally participants are the first, while the second, for example, the President of the Russian Federation. Moreover, even ordinary members of society due to their political status have basic political freedoms and rights that are inalienable and belong to every citizen. As such, it is possible to bring the opportunity to choose and to be elected to various bodies of state power; create parties and other public associations; hold street processions, demonstrations, rallies and a number of other public actions (but in our realities, notification or permission of the authorities is required); write appeals to officials in government. Each person can take part in governing the country, either directly or through intermediaries.
Forms of behavior
We have already figured out that each person has a political status. But how does he use it? To understand this, it is worth reading the following information:
- Political activism.
- Adaptation to existing realities (conformism).
- Indifference and isolation from ongoing political processes (indifference).
- Service and courtesy regarding a certain political leader (clientele).
- Conscious refusal to take part in elections (abseteism).
About personality in politics
In this case, it is subject topurposeful conscious activity that expresses and realizes the interests of various parties, alliances and movements along with their own desires. All this integrates into a single whole. A special feature here is that in other spheres of public life a person realizes individual interests. While political status, regardless of it, implies their implementation as an element of something more. For example, build a quality road. A person may not even be aware of its political status, but this does not mean that it can be ignored. Take, for example, the elections to the State Duma.
Statuses
The most likely for an ordinary person isopportunity to professionally engage in political activities. But if you put enough effort and make a bet on the necessary aspects, you can get the status of a political leader. This is one of the most important aspects of activity, which is closely connected with the desire to create standards of social behavior for other individuals who will act, guided by certain authoritative models. A person who has the status of a political leader can organize and direct other people to certain decisions so that in the end certain joint activities are carried out.
How is this done?For this purpose, a political leader must have a large range of role-masks: a reformer, a defender, a man of the people, and so on. It would be best if the created image does not scatter with the real nature. In this case, there is a reduced possibility that people will be disappointed in him. The political roles of the individual may change during the status inversion process. In this case, there is a sharp qualitative change in the established order. This may be due to the fact that social revolutions, deformations and upheavals occur. During such events, many personalities raise or lower their own political status.
