How would you inspire people from different backgrounds in these times of high controversy to work together harmoniously and to put their differences aside?

Thank you for you reply. When faced by something of that nature, such as navigating a submarine or a space shuttle, I do agree with you that people will put aside their differences to achieve the goal of safely reaching the end point but once they are off the ship or plane petty differences will take over. How do we inspire these polemic individuals to put aside their polarizing views permanently and work together for the bigger goal? I am sure you had to deal with many people of different cultural backgrounds in the Navy with strong ties to their roots with different views of what America is about (for example a Southerner views America differently compared to a Hawaiian). How do we get those individuals in a non-military environment to put aside their individual desires and to focus on the bigger goal? Also how do we cherish their backgrounds and promote respect?
