There's peacetime and there's wartime, and you don't need polarization on wartime issues. You need polarization on all other issues.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali
I see people who talk about America, and then undermine it by not paying attention to its soul, to its poetry. I see polarization, reductionism and superficiality.
Azar Nafisi

Benny Gantz
My father provided some very important guidance in how we deal with conflict and polarization.
Bernice King
There is too much at stake for us to surrender to the politics of polarization.
Brad Henry
While many people overseas envy Korea's development, it is true that society has many problems such as economic polarization and a low birthrate.
Chey Tae-won
I'm a fan of polarization. If you make something that is palatable to everybody, it's like making vanilla ice cream, and I think we have enough of that.
Chris Stapleton
We - America - have to move past the ideology, the tribalism, that grips this country. As ridiculous as this sounds, I believe 'Black Panther,' the film, could help us do that if it addresses issues of tribal polarization and, by extension, racism, xenophobia, and homophobia in an entertaining, non-preachy way.
Christopher Priest
The polarization of Congress; the decline of civility; and the rise of attack politics in the 1980s, the 1990s, and the early years of the new century are a blot on our political system and a disservice to the American people.
Edward Brooke
If Clinton is elected or if Trump is going to get elected, I think the polarization in Congress will be greater than ever. Nothing is going to get done. It is going to be so ugly, so partisan, so back-biting. Well what if you elect a couple of Libertarians?
Gary Johnson
If Greece had gone through a very normal political life, I may have not been in politics. But just the fact that I lived through huge upheavals and very difficult struggles and polarization and the barbarism of dictatorships - that made me feel that we had to change this country.
George Papandreou
I think in our time, you know, so much of the information we get is pre-polarized. Fiction has a way of reminding us that we actually are very similar in our emotions and our neurology and our desires and our fears, so I think it's a nice way to neutralize that polarization.
George Saunders
Press critics worry that the rise of media polarization threatens the foundation of credible, common information that American politics needs to thrive.
John Harwood
With the polarization of points of view around significant political and social issues, sports is a place where people can sort of talk about something together. And I think that is important to people.
John Skipper
I agree that it is not just the extremists who harbor bad thoughts or engage in bad acts, but they are usually the source of the polarization and try to keep education and communication of the main stream from moving forward.
Joichi Ito
From the extreme political polarization that is everywhere - there's so much suffering going on - so many people are really thirsty to feel good about something.
Jonathan Van Ness
As the 2012 elections approach the finish line, the chatter among columnists and political reporters is about upcoming books that take readers inside the campaigns, cutting-edge efforts to micro-target voters on Internet social applications, the enormous money flowing through super-PACs, and extreme political polarization.
Juan Williams
The 2012 presidential campaign's turn away from the classic, straight-up, American election - where the candidate who gets the most votes nationwide wins - is another sad reminder of the extreme political polarization distorting today's politics. No one talks about a 50-state strategy for winning the presidency these days.
Some Republicans gave up on winning the African-American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization. I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong.
Ken Mehlman
It's about polarization. You're trying to stir up something in your audience.
Leslie Odom, Jr.
As the polarization in D.C. spreads, the people willing to come to the middle find less and less acceptance.
The rotation of the polarization plane is extraordinarily small in all gases, thus also in sodium vapour.
Hatred, anger, and violence can destroy us: the politics of polarization is dangerous.
At the start of his second term, one wonders less about Obama's fitness than his willingness: Why doesn't he do more to build and maintain the relationships required to govern in era of polarization?

Technology is causing a set of seemingly disconnected things - shortening of attention spans, polarization, outrage-ification of culture, mass narcissism, election engineering, addiction to technology.
In every society, manufacturing builds the lower middle class. If you give up manufacturing, you end up with haves and have-nots, and you get social polarization. The whole lower middle class sinks.
