Group Polarization:An Analysis of Social Networks and Individual Behavioral Convergence in Waiting for Godot
Group polarization,as a field of study within social grouping,illuminates the extreme behavior that individuals exhibit when making decisions as part of a group.As society progresses,people are increasingly immersed in various social networks and media environments,leading to a gradual alignment of individual thoughts and actions.Consequently,the convergence of individual behaviors within group polarization has sig-nificant implications for the stability and sustainable development of human society.Samuel Beckett's renowned work,Waiting for Godot,revolves around the enigmatic and non-existent character of Godot.The interactions and exchanges between the main characters,Vladimir and Estragon,exemplify the convergence of behaviors within group polarization.This paper delves into the phenomenon of group polarization by examining the con-vergent choices made by the protagonists under the influence of the group,exploring the intricate relationship between the individual,the in-group,and the out-group,and investigating the contrasting forces that drive social progress and individual growth.
