Perhaps that is the key. Throughout the world we have societies in the midst of turmoil. What they lack is the common unity that lies at the root of the word community. Note that nothing about community require living in communes. Government is one of the key social organizations.
Institutionalized religion is a major social organization.
Companies are major social organizations that are often overlooked. All three of these are currently doing a very poor job. The present economy clearly does not live up to this. Government bureaucracy is notorious for its ineptness. Free enterprise usurps the societal responsibility for this, allowing the captains of industry to set the fate of many.
