[QUOTE="ragarth, post: 50197246, member: 235534"] No, that's the exact opposite of what I stated. We are genetically predisposed to developing societies, to being part of a tribe. We are a group species in this way, just like wolves, lions, and horses have a tendency to form groups, humans form groups as well. Humans do, however, have the capacity to [I]define for themselves who and what their group (tribe) consists of.[/I] If I made an effort and mentally reinforced it for myself, I could begin thinking in terms of 'people who eat wheat bread.' I would eventually begin analyzing my choices in life based upon the pros and cons for people who eat wheat bread, and if I'm an aggressive individual, vs those who eat *them other breads.* Also, broadening your view of who your tribe is does not homogenize the people of that tribe. I consider you part of my tribe, does that make you more like me? The USA is a diverse melting pot of different ethnicities, cultures, beliefs, and methods, but it still manages to be a cohesive, powerful force in the world. It's not homogenous, but it is a potential tribe. [/QUOTE]
