Harmony within unity?

Where would a globalized culture come from? Our deep-rooted diversity would eventually produce conflicts in an attempt for unity, unless such variance is embraced.
When the whole world has something to work for/against we may then be able to cooperate through ignoring our differences.
We, however, are not as definitively distinct from one another as we might claim – patriotism tends to instill faulty notions of uniqueness.
Keeping cultural distinctions alive are important – I think it is crucial to acknowledge these distinctions in efforts for unity. Recognize human rights, act accordingly, and do not attempt to infringe on the differences in culture.

Patriotism is a loyalty stemming from geographical coincidence. Maybe we just want something to be proud of, something to embrace. Perhaps we desire unity & that is the fundamental reason for why we develop such patriotism - we want to feel united with one another & we use geography of nations in order to do so.
