Polarization in chemistry means the existence of two oppositely charged ions Polarization in physics means magnets within the north and south poles
While polarization in sociology means differences of thought and views between two persons or two groups.
Everyone has their own sort of thoughts. Everyone thinks differently and forms different images regarding a single object. Religion, ethnicity, and politics are dominant in keeping different schools of thought. It is natural and we cannot persuade all to a single point. Nothing bad in this but just thinking you are right and disrespecting the rest all is wrong. It is a state and a propensity showing the development of gatherings at the furthest points of the socially ordered progression and the equal contracting of gatherings around its center.
Polarization has been induced in our society too much instead of getting civilized day by day we are exaggerating our feeling of hatred. we have just stuck ourselves to a particular thing person sect or religion we have thought of those who dont prevail with our point/ thought as “inferior”.
A few hypothetical models can be hung together to make sense of the nuts and bolts that make social polarization, and the ensuing hardship that happens when there is outrageous cultural hardship between those of high riches and low riches. They are:
a Culture of Neediness
Government Disappointment — especially when public strategy foundations partitioned into divisions (schooling, lodging, and so on) are ineffectual in managing the interdisciplinary issues of poor people
a Discriminatory Circulation of Assets/unequal distribution of resources
Class Struggle, and
the classification of an "Underclass"
At the point when these peculiarities are joined in metropolitan regions, it can fuel social polarization. Metropolitan rot is a visual sign of social polarization, while riots, common uproar, and general social breaking down can suggest this idea too. Notwithstanding, it can likewise prompt a casual economy in many metropolitan regions.
ROLE OF MEDIA IN SOCIAL POLARIZATION
Digital media, and social media, in particular, have the potential to contribute to societal polarization. This is because social media platforms like Facebook and social news platforms like Digg can make it easier for people to consume news that is influenced by their user's preferences. In extreme cases, the absence of "a shared public sphere" may result
isolated, polarised groups that may even be antagonistic to one another. For instance, during the Arab Spring uprisings, social media was seen to have exacerbated the class inequality that was already clear in several Arab governments. Similar to how people may unintentionally change their social ties because of traditional media coverage, social networks—especially online social networks—can become more polarised.
Simulation models and social media data show that when news coverage differs significantly between news sources with opposing political leanings, or in a polarized information ecosystem, people lose social bonds to friends who hold the opposing political perspective. People may react to friends' conduct in regard to the news even if they are unaware of their friends' political views: your friends' behaviour may look out of sync if they are tuned into different news outlets than you and are consequently ingesting quite diverse news coverage.
Polarization noticed on a certain social media network is not the consequence of occurrences and discussions that occur on that platform. Therefore, observed polarization tendencies in online social media may result from user behavior on other online platforms or offline activities. An example from a 2019 study shows that tweets promoting denial of climate change were all judged to be unreliable. Therefore, it is quite unlikely that such unreliable communications will worsen the already-polarized climate change debate on Twitter.
