Name of Institution
• A small country that is isolated from others and that is made up of people who want to believe that the
country is a major world superpower. The country may eventually begin to think as a collective whole
that they are more powerful than they are and may make a fatal mistake like going to war with a larger
and more powerful nation.
• An isolated group of people from the same racial and ethnic background who do not know any people
personally who are different from them. The group may come to distrust or even hate outsiders
because they do not understand them and because they want to reinforce the moral superiority and
unity of their own group.
• A group of employees at a company with a product that is quickly becoming outdated who are unwilling
to consider new alternatives to advance in the industry. The employees may collectively live in a world
where they can't understand why their product is not selling and may refuse to acknowledge the
economic reality that they cannot survive without advancing.
3. Polarization: Name of Institution
