The famous scholar Zimmer believes that because of the existence of conflicts, loosely structured groups and open societies can form a protective layer for conflicts that endanger basic consensus, thereby minimizing the risk of differences that undermine nuclear values. The interdependence of opposing groups and the intersection of such internal conflicts in society help to `` stitch social systems '' by offsetting each other, thus preventing collapse along a major line of division. The main meaning of this text is:. ['Certain social conflicts contribute to social stability.', 'Social conflicts can lead to differences in core values.', 'An open society is characterized by allowing conflicts between different groups.', 'Social harmony and conflict are dialectical.']
