Question

Why is that people like to put themselves into groups, and they don't look at society as on group of humans?

Answer 1

But they do.... Opposing groups !!!

Answer 2

I think it is because poeple like to find similarities to validate them being a part of a "select group" I thnk it has a lot to do with "Ego".

Answer 3

Sometimes we forget that we're all on the same team!

Answer 4

I think it is in our genes to be suspicious of those different than you or your tribe.

IN survival, this is helpfull for protection

What I meant exactly is; It is very common in humans AND the animal kingdom , to be cautious of those "different" than you, or about people.

Like , in the animals, some mothers and their herd will cast out a member who is weak or different in some way.

I think people do this on a sub-conscious level. ( separating into groups)

Given the choice, most , if not all , feel most comfortable around people who share the same culture and alot of attributes that come with that.

I'm NOT against multiculturalism; I just think it goes against our primitive, instinctual, nature.
