In communication, dispersal and fragmentation of society:

In communication, dispersal and fragmentation of society is considered a

(A) side effect 

(B) centrifugal effect 

(C) centripetal effect 

(D) direct effect

Correct Ans: (B)

Explanation:

In communication, we consider the dispersal and fragmentation of society as a centrifugal effect. Centrifugal forces push things away from a central point. Applied to communication, these forces describe how media and communication systems break down societal unity, creating divisions rather than fostering collective coherence. The rapid spread of information through various channels often isolates individuals and groups, each forming their own interpretations and beliefs.

This centrifugal effect weakens social bonds by promoting individualism and highlighting differences between social groups. Instead of bringing people together around shared experiences or values, communication in a fragmented society leads to greater polarization, undermining the sense of community and common purpose.
