Learn: Why I think all my friends are unique but those in other groups are all the same Why little differences often become big sources of conflict Why categorizing others is often automatic and helpful but can also have sinister side effects Why we are so often victims of groupthink and how we can avoid it Why women think men are judging them more negatively than men actually are, and vice versa Why choices of language can actually affect unity With a personal touch and the trained eye of a social psychologist, Cleveland brings to bear the latest studies and research on the unseen dynamics at work That tend to separate us from others.
In this eye-opening book, learn the Hidden reasons behind conflict and divisions.
Though we may think we know why this happens, Christena Cleveland says we probably don\'t.
We criticize freely those who disagree with us, don\'t look like us, don\'t act like us and don\'t even like what we like.
We cluster in theological groups, gender groups, age groups, ethnic groups, educational and economic groups.
