Judicial Politics in Polarized Times
When the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act, some saw the decision as a textbook example of neutral judicial decision making, noting that a Republican Chief Justice joined the Court's Democratic appointees to uphold most provisions of the ACA.Others characterized the decision as the latest example of partisan justice and cited the actions of a bloc of the Court's Republican appointees, who voted to strike down the statute in its entirety.Still others argued that the ACA's fate ultimately hinged on the outcome of the 2012 election.These interpretations reflect larger stories about judicial politics that have emerged in polarized America.Are judges neutral legal umpires, unaccountable partisan activists, or political actors whose decisions conform to-rather than challenge-the democratic will?Thomas M. Keck argues that, despite judges' claims, legal decisions are not the politically neutral products of disembodied legal texts.But neither are judges "tyrants in robes," undermining democratic values by imposing their own preferences.Just as often, judges and the public seem to be pushing in the same direction. As for the argument that the courts are powerless institutions, Keck shows that their decisions have profound political effects. And, while advocates on both the left and right engage constantly in litigation to achieve their ends, neither side has consistently won.Ultimately, Keck argues, judges respond not simply as umpires, activists, or political actors, but in light of distinctive judicial values and practices.

What is the difference between polarized and non-polarized?
Polarized light refers to light waves that vibrate in a single plane, while non-polarized light consists of light waves vibrating in multiple planes. Polarized light is filtered to allow only waves vibrating in a specific orientation to pass through, reducing glare and improving visibility. Non-polarized light is a mix of waves vibrating in all directions, resulting in scattered light that can cause glare.

Which bond is strongly polarized and which is weakly polarized?
A strongly polarized bond is one in which the electronegativity difference between the two atoms is large, leading to a significant unequal sharing of electrons. For example, the bond between a highly electronegative atom like fluorine and a less electronegative atom like hydrogen is strongly polarized. On the other hand, a weakly polarized bond is one in which the electronegativity difference between the two atoms is small, resulting in a more equal sharing of electrons. An example of a weakly polarized bond is the bond between two carbon atoms in a hydrocarbon molecule.

Is the difference between polarized and non-polarized sunglasses significant?
Yes, the difference between polarized and non-polarized sunglasses is significant. Polarized sunglasses are designed to reduce glare and block out horizontal light waves, making them ideal for activities such as driving, fishing, and skiing. Non-polarized sunglasses, on the other hand, simply reduce the overall amount of light that reaches the eyes without specifically targeting glare. Therefore, the choice between polarized and non-polarized sunglasses can have a noticeable impact on visual comfort and clarity in various outdoor settings.
-
Which bond is strongly polarized and which one is weakly polarized?
Ionic bonds are strongly polarized because they involve the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in a significant difference in electronegativity. On the other hand, covalent bonds are weakly polarized because they involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, leading to a more balanced distribution of charge.

Church's Mission in a Polarized World
"Christians and other people of good will are longing for a response that can lead the way out of the divisiveness and vitriol of our times. I wrote this book to provide some assistance to readers to discern a way out of the toxicity in which we live, and to stimulate courage and hope so that all people can see the age in which we live more clearly and respond with the grace necessary to follow more fully the call God has spoken--a missionary call to deepen Christ's incarnational movement in our world." - Fr. Robert Aaron Wessman

Polarized and Demobilized : Legacies of Authoritarianism in Palestine
After the 1994 Oslo Accords, Palestinians were hopeful that an end to the Israeli occupation was within reach, and that a state would be theirs by 1999.With this promise, international powers became increasingly involved in Palestinian politics, and many shadows of statehood arose in the territories.Today, however, no state has emerged, and the occupation has become more entrenched.Concurrently, the Palestinian Authority has become increasingly authoritarian, and Palestinians ever more polarised and demobilised.Palestine is not unique in this: international involvement, and its disruptive effects, have been a constant across the contemporary Arab world.This book argues that internationally backed authoritarianism has an effect on society itself, not just on regime-level dynamics.It explains how the Oslo paradigm has demobilised Palestinians in a way that direct Israeli occupation, for many years, failed to do.Using a multi-method approach including interviews, historical analysis, and cutting-edge experimental data, Dana El Kurd reveals how international involvement has insulated Palestinian elites from the public, and strengthened their ability to engage in authoritarian practices.In turn, those practices have had profound effects on society, including crippling levels of polarisation and a weakened capacity for collective action.

Divided : Open-Mindedness and Dogmatism in a Polarized World
If you tune into televised newscasts or read any newspaper, it is impossible to ignore the increased polarization of political discussion.These news reports are supported by empirical research documenting increases in social and political polarization.Polarization is not completely undesirable, as differences between groups can contribute to a vibrant democratic life in which alternative solutions to social problems are fully explored.However, polarization can also produce dysfunctional outcomes, including sub-optimal decision-making processes within groups and a lower likelihood that competing groups are able to resolve differences.Extreme forms of polarization are presumably exacerbated by dogmatic or closed-minded thinking that fails to openly consider the viability of opposing viewpoints, as well as low levels of intellectual humility in which people rarely consider the possibility that their own beliefs and opinions might be fallible.This volume aims to increase the understanding of open-mindedness and dogmatism, illuminate the nature and causes of polarization, and provide clues regarding how one might attempt to reduce pernicious forms of polarization. Bringing together a diverse group of leading psychologists, political scientists, sociologists, and communication scholars who investigate dogmatism and open-mindedness within social and political contexts, Divided: Open-Mindedness and Dogmatism in a Polarized World covers a wide range of topics including key definitions of dogmatism and open-mindedness, the emergence of affective polarization, how open-mindedness relates to attitude formation and change, the correspondence between intellectual humility and open-mindedness, and how social norms and situations shape open-minded cognition.Authors consider both the beneficial and more problematic features of open-mindedness, dogmatism, and polarization.Collectively, this volume provides a format that enables readers to learn about creative approaches to understanding dogmatism and open-mindedness and, potentially, to generate innovative solutions that reduce polarization and increase constructive social compromise in the future.

What is polarized glass?
Polarized glass is a type of glass that has a special coating that helps reduce glare from surfaces such as water, snow, or roads. This coating filters out horizontal light waves, allowing only vertical light waves to pass through, which helps to reduce glare and improve visibility. Polarized glass is commonly used in sunglasses and some car windows to enhance visual clarity and reduce eye strain.

Is our society polarized?
Yes, our society is polarized. We see this polarization in various aspects of our society, including politics, social issues, and even in our everyday interactions. People are increasingly divided along ideological lines, leading to a lack of understanding and empathy for those with different viewpoints. This polarization can be seen in the rise of extreme political ideologies, the spread of misinformation, and the increasing hostility between different groups. It is important for us to recognize this polarization and work towards finding common ground and understanding in order to bridge these divides.

Are polarized sunglasses necessary?
Polarized sunglasses are not necessary for everyone, but they can be very beneficial in certain situations. They are particularly useful for activities such as driving, fishing, or spending time near water or snow, as they can reduce glare and improve visibility. However, for everyday use, regular sunglasses may be sufficient for most people. Ultimately, the decision to use polarized sunglasses depends on individual preferences and needs.

Why is sunlight not polarized?
Sunlight is not polarized because it is a combination of light waves that are randomly oriented in all directions. When sunlight is scattered or reflected off surfaces, the orientation of the light waves becomes even more randomized, resulting in a non-polarized light. In contrast, polarized light is when the light waves are aligned in a specific orientation, which is not the case with sunlight.
