Humans beings love to be part of a group. It's what we do. We identify with others who are similar to us culturally, ethnically, politically. We are hardwired with a need to be belong and also to exclude. We are tribal.
Amy Chua, best known as the tiger mom who shared with the world her strict child rearing philosophy, is also a professor of law at Yale University. She says the deep divisions in American politics right now are the result of tribalism.
Professor Chua talks about the deep divisions in America and what needs to be done to create more unity. Her book is called Political Tribes: Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations.
