In other words, why so many people feel the need to be part of some kind of group (sports, politics, social groups, etc.)? Why do people need to identify themselves by associating with other humans?

Prior to today I had thought that the trend toward grouping was disolving, and that people were intentionally becoming more isolated.
After questioning a group of young adults, I found that they prefer group activities because many of their chosen careers, and passtimes are indeed isolated. The part that surprised me was they weren't embracing isolation. They were craving personal interaction.
It makes sense, but I have to admit it was a surprise.
Humans are social beings. We learn, grow, bond, and spar based on our interactions with one another.

Consciousness has evolved to need to relate to other human beings. Some would take it a lot further and say it is a product of social behaviour.
Human beings are social animals, they cannot survive without their fellows. As our culture gets increasingly specialised this is getting even more true.

If one is a neo-Nazi or white supremest then definite, hate is a driving stress. although, too many human beings use words like "hate" merely as a label they slap on people who disagree with them. this offers them the excuse they could push aside or otherwise discredit those human beings as with the intention to no longer could take into consideration nor be challenged via their message. the authentic meaning of the be conscious does not seem rely, purely the effect.

Acceptance issues. We've been programed that in order to be accepted by a majority we have to be part of something. Those who are "independent" are usually viewed as being strange and different and that scares many people.
