Why do people with many things in common, such as similar background or identical goals, simply don't get along with each other while others get along very well?
The answer is in personalities, interests and maturity.
We are all humans(or at least people I know). All of us have flaws, and some have more flaws than others. Usually societies are cohesive and the people that make up this society are cooperative. However, when we begin to focus on other's flaws instead of their strengths, problems arise. What usually happens after that is pretty hard to clean up. People will overeact, and become angry. This is a major turning point. Anybody heard "Anger is the justifying emotion" before? When anger arises, it causes people to feel that they are the one who is right. This was important in ancient warfare because fighters had to feel that their nation was correct in destroying the enemy. Otherwise, soldiers would not be able to stand the suffering of their enemies and the carnage when fighting or killing them. So, when people become angry, it is virtually impossible to turn around and clean up the mess that has started. After that, everything pretty much goes haywire. If there are equal "forces" in the society in which the "battle" is being fought, usually all that's left in the end is a pile of rubble. No survivors. It's suprising how much humans fight one another to destruction for ridiculous reasons. If there is an imbalance in the "forces", usually one party is kicked out of the society by the stronger one. If it's one person sgainst the multitudes, then that one person may be ostracised or left in isolation for the rest of his life.
I really hope that human beings can shape up and finally get along as one community.

Hey Christopher(:Interesting views here! Do ensure that your blog is updated with your homework AND your own personal views. I really do have to agree with you as well! Interpersonal differences can really create great rifts between people. Do you think humans can overcome anger and overlook the many differences between them? What sort of wars have been created by anger? How can human beings 'shape up'? What do you think?(:
