The Power of Us

Rev. Terry Davis

In their book The Power of Us, authors Dominic Packer and Jay van Bavel say that polarization and conflict – two negative outcomes that are often associated with tribalism – are not the last words on the subject. Rather, they argue that “’Groupishness’ – a term some researchers use to describe humans’ tendency to identify with social groups – can also be the source of cooperation, altruism, embracing diversity, and helping people radically different from ourselves.” How might we help promote the latter in a world so rife with intolerance?
