Echo Chamber

An echo chamber refers to an environment where individuals are only exposed to information and opinions that reinforce their existing beliefs. In these situations, differing viewpoints are often ignored or dismissed, creating a feedback loop that amplifies certain ideas while silencing others. This can occur in various contexts, such as social media, news outlets, or social groups. As a result, people may develop a skewed understanding of reality, making it harder to engage with differing perspectives and fostering polarization in society.
