Separated peoples will inevitably develop their own cultures and dislike other cultures. In the novel Nemesis by the legendary Isaac Asimov, humanity has branched out into colonies in space, each with its own culture. Most of all, the culture of Rotor is in jeopardy once those who remained in the solar system develop a way for interstellar travel.

Pitt believed a randomly assorted group of Earthmen would come in and destroy the culture of Rotor. (Asimov, Isaac. Nemesis. Foundation, Doubleday, 1989. pp. 316).

While Janus is wise in his unshared views on galactic politics in a time where he is part of the only colony so far outside the Solar

Although Jack Welch’s quote seems direct, it does speak the truth. The company is in it, to win it. And the only way that it is achievable is
