- Abstract
- The United States of America is often regarded as the model example of democracy in the modern world. Within its borders, however, it grapples with a domestic issue far more dangerous than any foreign threat: polarization. 21stcentury politics in America is devoid of compromise and cooperation. The unrelenting growth of division in the country calls for judgment.This is an opinion piece on the dysfunctional state of our union. I discuss how polarization can be weaponized, the data legitimizing our selfish nature, how empathy can be our greatest skill, and the power behind changing our minds. Most importantly –that our founding institutions warn against these political fissures and how history teaches us to combat them.
