Where does the dividing line pass in both societies, what do we really agree on and what do we not agree on, and what significance does this have for what is being resolved on the political scene?

Late last year, a collective of authors from Humboldt University in Berlin published a bestseller, "Triggerpunkte. Konsens und Konflikt in der Gegenwartsgesellschaft" ("Trigger Points. Consensus and Conflict in Contemporary Society") examining the alleged polarization of German society.
In the Czech context, a research project of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, the Masaryk Academy for Democracy and STEM, summarized in the publication "Various Narratives of a Society", also addressed the same topic.
Where do the cleavage lines run in both societies, what do we really agree on and what do we not, and what relevancy does this have for what is being addressed in the political arena? The debate will cover the surprising findings of the two surveys, their overlaps and differences, and the implications for the societal debate in both countries.
