ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Social polarization

Social Polarization means that people are grouping together with others who have the same opinions or beliefs. In this way, people become more separate from those who don't share their opinions or beliefs. It is like people are splitting further apart so that they are in two different groups. It can make it difficult for people to understand each other because they have different opinions or beliefs. It can also lead to tension between the two groups and even conflict.
