- Abstract:
How to live together peacefully and without violence has been a challenge for all humanity throughout history. It has frequently been achieved, but it has just as frequently failed. It appears that humans, like other animals, prefer to live with their own kind rather than with others who look, speak, eat, dress, behave and worship differently to their community, in short, who are culturally different. Human society have developed all sorts of intricate distinctions between insiders and outsiders, between those who feel themselves superior and those who are excluded as inferior, who are sometimes even denied their essential humanity because of these artificial distinctions. Trade and travel notwithstanding, tribal values and connections still constitute for many the necessary road map for a successful existence.
