In-group and out-group

The in-group is whoever you consider 'us' and the out-group is 'them,' a distinction humans make instantly and often unconsciously, then use to justify favoritism toward the in-group and skepticism toward outsiders. This tendency isn't inevitable moral failure but a deeply rooted pattern of thinking—one we can interrupt through contact, exposure, and deliberate commitment to seeing across group boundaries.
