In humans,ethnic groups that used to get along reasonably well may all of a sudden turn against each other,as the Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda and the Serbs,Croats and Muslims in Bosnia. What kind of mental switch is flipped that changes people's attitudes?I suspect switches are controlled by the perception of shared versus competing interests.So long as individuals feel a common purpose,they supress negative feelings.
