I'm not sure by what is your criteria for arranged marriages being successful. Is it because there are less divorces? The reason for that is probably because divorces are extremely taboo or illegal in the places that have have arranged marriages. As for the sacrificing in the military. Some of that has to do with the kind of people that want to join the military (a very small portion of the US population). Also from chats with family and friends that have done service, they did not feel like their "buddies" would be willing to sacrifice themselves for them.
- rdtsc 15y agoIt seems that an easy team building process is to just identify an out-group. Make an "us" vs "them" scenario. That kind of stuff appeals to the primitive part of the brain and is quite effective. Improperly defining that can be dangerous. It can create too much adversity in the workplace where teams spend more energy thinking how to beat the other team vs how to improve the product (sometimes the two goals are not equivalent). I guess it is a bit safer to identify the competitors as "them" but in a niche market people always jump ship and all the negative attitudes and comments end up finally being exposed.
