The Unknown

The act of introducing one to the outside world will make one wonder about the unknown, but once launched into the unknown the individual will grasp harder to what is known. Countries that experience a little international diversity tend to be welcoming and the process of integration is smoother one taking from the other eventually becoming one again. Though when a country experiences a heavy amount of international diversity a sudden growth in nationalism is on the way.

The fear of the unknown is what is at the core of human fear.

The diagram above highlights the phenomena in the lens of society. Where individuals once leaving in harmony in difference will seek comfort in similarity when threatened. In other words "repli communautaire" a french term which highlights such behaviour

The growth of any strong ideology is deeply rooted in fear. This has been expressed in a multitude of ways throughout history. From the fear of death leading to the creation of the heavens. The fear of purpose leading to the creation of religion. The fear of understanding hidden behind theory. To the fear of the other, causing racism.

Fear is what governs life. We act and live out of fear.

The constant battle of the balance of the known and the unknown. Always allowing what is known to have a slight upper hand is what clears us from any fear.
