摘要
In #Republic: Divided Democracy in the Age of Social Media, Cass R. Sunstein presents a social phenomenon that has had a significant impact on the debate in politics during the last years: echo chambers. The purpose of this work is to analyze the relationship between this phenomenon and political polarization, something that often goes unnoticed in current political debates. To do this, I will first explain the mechanisms underlying the creation of echo chambers described by Sunstein in his book, then I will examine the problems they may entail. Second, I will analyze the connection between echo chambers and polarization.
