Ingroups and outgroups. how did Humanity get to that why cant we just live as one large ingroup. it really makes no sense to me at all. I mean I get that different sects of life will congregate differently together naturally based upon interests but why on earth does it have to become hostile. it literally has no benefit to any one once the relationship becomes hostile.
I do like how the article pointed out that intercultural interactions, however scary they may be for an aware person, should not be avoided. they are a good learning experience and should be thought of as that not a reason to yell at someone who may not know better.
I like your connection to intercultural interactions and suggestions on how one should interpret them. I agree with some parts of what you said when questioning why humans have these groups and divides… I think it is rooted in ancient tactics of survival that are not near as necessary anymore.
I agree it is kind of strange how these groups form. The reasoning why, however, is because people who have similar ideas and opinions form these groups and discriminate against the outgroups.
