Tribalism?

Tribalism. How does this work? Well, in brief terms less importance is placed by the public on country and more on community. In this, a very localised form of neo-realism is found. Our desire to see our 'immediate', (i.e. where we live, walk and work...) improve and become more comfortable increases the awareness of tribalism. To make this more clear let me ask you a question-Would you rather see all the housing market rise by 10% or your local area rise by 15%? If you answered 'no' to the local prices and 'yes' to the nationwide prices, its seems obvious that you are more concerned with you wider community (your country) and if you answered 'yes' to the local prices, it seems like you are more inclined to tribalism. Even though you might not see it, this individualistic character is becoming more and more evident. 'Ah!' you might say,' How does this 'tribalism have any bearing on me as a person?' Well, I think we will see more politics arrowed at communities. We as a nation are more interested in this than our wider country.
Tribalism continues and there is definitely more to come....
