| Mirek's example of 'two communities' sharing the same area is interesting. I would say that we are really talking about ONE community, which has found a way for two different cultures to exist within itself. I would say that at a macro level, this community is practicing harmonization! It is, perhaps, a model for what I am talking about. | ||

| Switzerland itself is probably also close to such an example: you have three or four different ethnic communities that found ways to coexist. Although they are not completely intermixed, but different communities dominate different cantons. |

| Yes. Both examples, however, are only "harmonization-like" at a macro level - they demonstrate the principle of "getting along together" rather than "struggling against one another". But they aren't examples of the deep kind of mutual understandng and synergistic collaboration that I mean by harmonization. |
