How to Function in an Increasingly Polarized Society | Fiona MacDonald | TEDxAbbotsford

In this timely and insightful talk, Dr. Fiona MacDonald explores how deep emotional divides, not just policy disagreements, are fueling polarization in our society. Using personal stories and research, she shows how fear shapes our perceptions of safety and danger, and why social media often intensifies these divisions. Her message is clear: in polarized times, connection matters more than debate. Dr. Fiona MacDonald (PhD UBC) is an Associate Professor specializing in Gender Politics. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
