Social cohesion (e.g. acceptance of multiculturalism, religious groups living in harmony, etc)

Studies have shown that societies with high levels of 'social cohesion' tend to be more prosperous, economically competitive and resilient. To this end, residents are a tremendous resource for informing our understanding as to how cohesive our local communities are today, tomorrow, and whether there are some communities that are becoming more or less cohesive over-time. People born overseas tend to place more stock in 'social cohesion' than those who were born here.
