"Kind of a scary thought, if everybody wanted that sort of a unified government and religion, what it might lead to." Homogeneous groups are very harmonious. The tend to stick together and get along great. Heterogenous groups are not very harmoneous and tend to split off in all directions. When problems occur Homogeneous groups tend to agree easily on a solution but are not very creative since 'thinking out of the box' could disrupt the harmony of the group. Heterogenous groups tend to come up with creative solutions to problems even though they fight a lot. The harmony factor can be a negative when confronted with problems that don't have easy answers. The creative factor can be a negative when communication breaks down over conflict. In most large societies you have small subgroups of harmoneous communities that lend each other strength and confidence that come together with other communities to deal find solutions for the whole. It's always been a struggle and always will be. That's what we are looking at again as the picture of a global society is throwing heterogenous groups together into one large difficult society. We can do it but it involves faith and hope in one another not hate.
