Fragmentation
- Fracture
- Lack of integration
Nature
Fragmentation refers to the process or state in which a system, organization, or market is divided into smaller, often disconnected parts, leading to inefficiencies and challenges in coordination. This phenomenon can occur in various contexts, such as technology, where software or data is dispersed across incompatible platforms, hindering interoperability. In ecology, fragmentation of habitats disrupts ecosystems and threatens biodiversity. In business, market fragmentation can result in increased competition and reduced economies of scale. Overall, fragmentation poses significant obstacles to cohesion, efficiency, and effective management across diverse fields.
Claim
Today's world is characterized by disunity. Disunity in politics, in thought in world undertakings, in freedom, in religion, in nations or races, and in language, allow man neither to understand nor to implement the organic oneness of humanity.
Counter-claim
"Disunity" may actually only be man asserting his individuality which in and of itself propagates neither tension nor war, but is a very healthy and necessary avenue of expression and contrast.
