- Society has become both more unified
and yet more pluralistic than ever before.
- The world has been shrunk by
the sharing of cultural and other knowledge largely through
ever-faster and more powerful technologies.
- More people know about more cultures
than ever before.
- Ethnic groups are driving mainstream
trends.
- Genres and styles are blending
and fusing.
- The basic human need for communal
endeavors has been enhanced by impersonal technology in a
complex and dislocated society.
- Individuals are more aware of
their own abilities, needs and desires.
- They strive to be in small groups
of similarly unique people.
- People belong to or identify with
many overlapping global and local organizations, communities
and groups.
- Globalism and Tribalism are now
two sides of the same coin, neither complete without the other.
- One cannot choose between them, but
must find a balanced compromise for overall harmony.
- Sport uniquely allows people to embrace
both Globalism and Tribalism.
