According to Huntington (1993), "civilization identity will become increasingly important to future generations likely contributing to the most significant conflicts." He believed that culture and cultural identities, which at the broadest level are civilization identities, are shaping the patterns of cohesion, disintegration, and conflict in the post-Cold War world. Today, the United States (be sure to always put "the" in front of US if it is used as an acronym) finds itself involved in two major and highly unpopular wars, one of the worst economies in decades, and a less-than-stellar international reputation where issues of homeland security are raising questions about its commitment to equality and diversity.
