Tribe
Categories: Politics & Social Sciences
Journalist Sebastian Junger argues that humans have a deep instinct to belong to small groups defined by clear purpose, and that modern society has largely lost this tribal connection. He notes that Benjamin Franklin lamented how English settlers fled to live among Native Americans while few went the other way. Junger, who reported on the war in Afghanistan, explores why combat veterans can miss the closeness of war, why communities often pull together in disasters, and what this means for how soldiers return home.
