New research looks into the potential causes of rising political and social division<\/em><\/p>\n

Economic uncertainty, inequality and discontent, disillusionment with government, the Russian war against Ukraine, migration policy and climate change have created social and political tensions. The us against them narrative has seen a resurgence across Europe.<\/p>\n

To address why this is occurring, a research team at the Medical University of Vienna explored the increase in political and social polarisation around the world between 2008 and 2010. This period coincided with a dramatic change in how people connected socially because of the emerging digital media landscape.<\/p>\n

The researchers devised a mathematical model to investigate this phenomenon. The findings were published in the \u2018Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences\u2019(opens in new window).<\/p>\n

United we stand, divided we fall<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe big question that not only we, but many countries are currently grappling with, is why polarization has increased so dramatically in recent years,\u201d commented co-author Stefan Thurner, professor at the Medical University of Vienna, in a news item(opens in new window). \u201cAnd this increase happened suddenly, between 2008 and 2010.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cause might lie with social connections. \u201cFor decades, sociological studies showed that people maintained an average of about two close friends\u2014people who could influence their opinions on important issues,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cAround 2008, there was a sharp increase from an average of two close friends to four or five,\u201d explained co-author Jan Korbel, a postdoctoral researcher at the same institution.<\/p>\n

The paradox<\/h2>\n

But instead of this social connectivity unifying people, it divided them. Polarisation rose sharply.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis finding impressed us greatly because it could provide a fundamental explanation for the peculiar form of polarization we\u2019re currently observing simultaneously across many parts of the world\u2014one that definitely threatens democracy,\u201d Thurner continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen people are more connected with each other, they encounter different opinions more frequently,\u201d added Korbel. \u201cThis inevitably leads to more conflict and thus greater societal polarization.\u201d<\/p>\n

Polarisation is not a new dynamic in society. However, nowadays it seems to be more robust and deep-rooted than in the past. Innovations in digital communication and social media in particular resulted in fewer yet more tight-knit groups that have extremely opposing views.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are few bridges between these \u2018bubbles,\u2019 and when they exist, they are often negative or even hostile,\u201d explained Korbel. \u201cThis is called fragmentation, and it represents a new social phenomenon,\u201d continued Thurner.<\/p>\n

Extensive data was gathered from thousands of existing surveys. The researchers used over 27 000 surveys from the Pew Research Center in the United States to measure polarisation. They analysed friendship networks by combining 30 different surveys involving more than 57 000 respondents from Europe and the United States.<\/p>\n

The authors also stressed the significance of proactively engaging with diverse views and actively nurturing tolerance to keep societies from growing more fragmented.<\/p>\n

Yet another study(opens in new window) analysed over 8 700 Facebook posts from political parties in 13 EU Member States. The aim was to find out whether the posts presented controversial issues and how these were framed during the 2024 European Parliament elections. Results revealed that populist parties deliberately chose divisive issues, ultimately creating division in society.<\/p>\n

Either way, it\u2019s up to all of us to preach and practice tolerance and unity, rather than discord, whatever the social means to do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
