Polarization


Polarization

of a conflict occurs as a conflict rises in intensity (that is, escalates). Often as escalation occurs, more and more people get involved, and take strong positions either on one side or the other. “Polarization” refers to this process in which people move toward extreme positions (“poles”), leaving fewer people “in the middle.”
