HOW Did Our Society Get So Polarised? (Beyond Politics Part 2)

In today's global political landscape, polarisation is increasingly becoming the norm. Whether in India, the USA, or any other democracy, the ideological divide among people is deepening and this growing rift is not only impacting political discourse but also hindering our ability to address pressing societal issues effectively.
Today's video is Part 2 of a four-part video series on The Unlearning Playground titled Beyond Politics, where I sit with Rocco Jarman and discuss the issues plaguing our global landscape currently and brainstorm game-changing ideas to actually bring about REAL change in the world. Part 2 focusses on HOW our society and we as individuals have become as polarised as we have become in the modern world.
What we discuss here is applicable not just to the political climate in India or the United States of America, but is fundamental to the way we humans work and coordinate (or at least try to coordinate!)
