Diversity and Conflict
A recent article highlights the relationship between diversity and conflict, suggesting that greater diversity leads to more conflict.
In a society where people share similar values and behaviors, there is a sense of order; however, as diversity increases, people are more likely to encounter opposing views, leading to conflict.
When network density increases with more connections, polarization within the collective inevitably rises sharply
according to Markus Hofer from CSH. This phenomenon is observed not only at a biological level but also at an intellectual diversity level.
As noted by Thurner, this finding provides a fundamental explanation for the polarization observed globally, which poses a threat to democracy.
