Social Polarization

Social Polarization is a sociological construct that denotes the process by which a society becomes divided into distinct, often antagonistic, social groups based on divergent identities, values, or interests, distinguished from related forms of polarization by its emphasis on cleavages rooted in cultural, ethnic, religious, or class-based affiliations rather than solely political ideology.
