They will have disagreements. Sometimes these disagreements will become arguments.</p> <p>Those with similar ideas about how the world should be run will form groups to advocate for what they believe in and to oppose that which they do not.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@garethceidiog1/christopher-hitchens-and-the-paradox-of-politics-of-division-90ce7d5036c8"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
