I agree that when people are poor and starving this leads to unrest (or perhaps I should say when there's a large visible gap between 'rich' and 'poor'). But I'm not sure if the 'tribalism' you mention relates to cultural heritage? Surely it's possible for people to be economically happy and still healthily foster a localised culture/set of traditions? In fact, isn't being aware of your own culture and how you got here (whilst being open and friendly to other cultures) a good thing?
