And I really don't see what ethnicity has to do with the ability for people to get along... unless you're claiming that America is inherently racist. Also, Norway has a significant immigrant population, with the current count working out to over 13% of the population. Also worth noting is that I'm not saying that Norway has it perfect, or that America should imitate Norway in everything... but perhaps America could get off its damn high horse for a few seconds, and look at where other countries are outperforming them? You know, try to improve your country by taking the best and most effective policies from other countries? |
I feel like you've never taken a course in statistics.
The differnece between 5 million and 300 million isn't significant when measuring individual behavior of a representative population.
Australia is NOT a represenative population of America.
5 million to 300 million IS statistically different in orginizational statistics.... as is the pure size of the US compaired to say... Australia, because it requires far more layers of beuracracy and the larger a workforce gets away from Dunbar's number, the less efficent it becomes. (and society for that matter.)
I'd suggest readings into Orginzational Psychology and Orginzational Sociology for more information on why it's easier to work systems on a small group, rather then a large one.
