Tribalism
Experimental visualization of narrower problems
Nature:
Tribalism concerns groups of people having a common race, character, occupation, or interest. Status and ethnic or linguistic identity become linked (for example in the UK when it used to be accepted that a person with a certain accent would automatically be labelled "lower class") thus possibly leading to discrimination. Tribalism could also possibly lead to policies of ethnic chauvinism that grant advantages and privileges to an ethnic group as a whole or to certain of its members.
