Why is political polarization important?

Several political scientists have argued that most types of political polarization are beneficial to democracy, as well as a natural feature. The simplifying features of polarization can help democratization. Strategies which depend on opposition and exclusion are present in all forms of observed politics.

What can be done to reduce the effects of Polarisation?

Undesirable polarization can be suppressed by vigorous agitation of the electrolyte, or – when agitation is impractical (such as in a stationary battery) – with a depolarizer.

What does becoming polarized mean?

Polarization happens when people become divided into contrasting groups. Polarization involves people moving in two directions — they’re becoming almost as separate as the North and South Pole.

What causes gridlock?

Traditional gridlock is caused by cars entering an intersection on a green light without enough room on the other side of the intersection at the time of entering to go all the way through. This can lead to the car being trapped in the intersection when the light turns green in the other direction.

Should the United States be split up?

Yes, the USA should be split up. The USA is very big and very uncontrollable, so splitting it up with more leaders to lead them properly could benefit fit the US and the world. Maybe not necessarily all 50 states need to split up, but something to split up the United States so it could be beneficial, and America could be great.

Is the US more unequal at the bottom than the top?

And we see very much the same story as we do at the top. The US is a much more unequal place than other countries. But notice also that we’re told that the US bottom 10\% have a living standard very similar to those of Finland and Denmark: you know, those icy social democracies where they care more about the poor.

Is life better in Russia than in the US?

Take another look as well: we know that Russia is where bloated plutocrats loot everything from the country: and yet the bottom 10\% in the US have, by this measure at least, better lives than the top 10\% in Russia. And the top 10\% in Portugal (where I live) and Mexico.

Is it worse to be poor in the US or Europe?

We’re often told that to be poor in the US is much worse than being poor in the social democracies of Europe. And the bottom 10\% in the US are indeed worse off than the bottom 10\% in Sweden. But they’re better off than the bottom 10\% in Germany or France: places where we are told that there is indeed that social democracy.
