Biopolitics

Biopolitics is a way of making decisions about how to manage the lives of people in a given area. It’s based on the idea that the health and well-being of a population is a top priority. Through biopolitics, governments can make decisions about things like health care, education, the economy, and how to protect the environment. They use biopolitics to try to make sure everyone gets the support and resources they need to lead healthy and productive lives.
