An individual's growth is linked to the growth of the society to which she or he belongs. As our society becomes increasingly diverse the success of each person becomes increasingly intertwined with the growth of the whole society. The following quote from George Land's Grow or Die [1] attests to this interdependence of the individual and the collective, "In a multicellular relationship or in a cultural group, cell and Man respond in a like manner, not only extending the self, but performing acts and making products that facilitate the growth of the organism as a whole."
