[QUOTE=WildIrish]It's not any individual society that "doesn't work", per se. It's the interaction between different societies and the inability to accept or negotiate common ground that is at the root of the problems occuring globally. And that boils down to respect for those that one does not understand.

I completely agree with what WI said. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? If people would just respect the beliefs of others this world would be better off, everyone is entittled to the own opinions.
