Abstract

Social media is the platform where individual person can share their opinions on any event through various social networking sites and this shows the diversity in beliefs of different persons belonging to different cultures which lead to the formation of echo chambers. Social media is playing a crucial role in increasing the polarization by creating echo chambers about current events. The main aim of the study was to assess the social media induced polarization and to study the opinion of social media users toward attitudinal change about National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The study was conducted using both primary and secondary information. Descriptive and content analysis were used to analyse the data. The findings of the study revealed that maximum number of phrases included in the posts of twitter about NEP 2020 gives out the meaning for acceptance of NEP 2020 and the maximum number of social media users has an opinion that there is an attitudinal change about NEP 2020 due to the use of social media. Further research could be conducted using several social media platforms to determine the polarization of government policies.
