Political polarization

 By wikipedia - 2021-03-18

Description

The rise of political polarization in the US has been pretty steady since before social media, before the Internet, even before the personal computer.

Summary

  • According to DiMaggio et al.
  • ( In these countries, politics is often seen as a self-referential power game that has nothing to do with people.
  • [34] Perniciously polarized societies often witness public controversies over factually provable questions.
  • Sartori named this polarizing phenomenon polarized pluralism and claimed it would lead to further polarization in many opposing directions (as opposed to in simply two directions, as in a polarized two-party system) over policy issues.
  • [46][47][48] Polarization in multiparty systems can also be defined along two ideological extremes, like in the case of India in the 1970s.
  • "[82] While its exact effects are disputed, it clearly alters the political process and the political composition of the general public.
  • [3][4][83][84] Solomon Messing and Sean J. Westwood state that individuals do not necessarily become polarized through media because they choose their own exposure, which tends to already align with their views.
  • [85] Outside of the U.S., there are plenty of modern-day examples of polarization in politics.
