Polarization has become a popular topic of debate around the globe. The word is often used when discussing societal division into two significantly distinct opposites. It can also be evidenced in the predominant ‘us vs. them’ attitude among individuals and larger groups in society. However, if we use a broader perspective to understand what drives societal polarization, we find that rather than an impetus for separation, polarization is underlaid by an intrinsic human need for belonging. When this sense of belonging is fulfilled and the individual becomes properly socialized into its communal groups, this polarization then must shift higher if ever the individual is to attain to a truly inclusive group identity, based on the intrinsic value of all groups as integral parts of the One Humanity.
