Influence of Tribes on Thinking
Belonging to tribes can significantly influence one's thinking and beliefs, as individuals often adhere to their tribe's ideas for fear of losing support or being shunned. Tribes, whether political parties, companies, or social groups, shape perspectives and limit the ability to challenge views. Recognizing the influence of tribes on thinking is crucial to fostering independent thought and avoiding conformity.
