Deciphering Political Polarization Through Contending Narrative Frames in Public Discourse

Abstract

We start with the definition of narrative from the work by Monroe and Patterson (3), et.al, which is weaving disparate facts to make sense of reality. Here we apply our own rationale, which means inherent bias. A well explored analysis of the Russia Ukarine war, courtesy Zhabotynska and Ryzhova, et. al (4) prove the western intervention as primary cause of the war as US, NATO responsibility via multi-modal analysis of war situation, here ontology based approach is taken to construct. In another study the dynamics of opposing forces was examined closely and motives behind the pro and anti Chinese government actors by Biswas, Niven and Lin et.al (5), increase in anti-government activity was examined by increased criticism of China and Russia. Dawson and Ross Smith, et.al (6) analyze the war from two perspectives classical and neo-classical perspectives. Mearsheimer in his seminal paper (7) explores the two sides struggle for power one where states defend themselves, not dominate like in India’s case. Offensive side strives for power by dominance, influence like in case of US. In conclusion he emphasizes importance of power politics to essential to navigate dangers of international relations. We explore with these articles and hope to decipher from these opposing political narratives, dynamics polarization.
