Homophily is the tendency of individuals to associate and bond with similar others.

This is the reason why liberals and conservatives don't get along. And it's the reason why we have such extremes in beliefs in our country right now.

Step outside your circle and introduce others to your way of thinking. The others might learn something from you and you might learn something from them. We also might reduce the extremes we currently have between liberals and conservatives. What do you think?
