Cultural and geographic isolation only goes so far; outward expansion ultimately leads to a more diverse culture, as the further one goes away from their cultural epicenter, differences occur. Form a historical perspective, I believe that societies have shown more unity when they are of similar culture and beliefs. However, in an expanding world where resources are the only thing that matter (we still fight that battle today), cultures clash and /or mix into a more diverse society where it becomes inescapable to appease those of different cultures and beliefs. The only possible way to avoid a diverse society (at least it seems) is to never intermingle with those unlike yourself. You kill them off. But, as we know, that is impossible in a modernized world. I think, as humans expand to the stars, we will ultimately be at the point where our planetary colonies will experience the same thing. They will develop their own sense of culture and identity, and the process will repeat itself.

That being said, I still believe the x factor here will be the threat of an alien species. Will humans unite as one and forget our differences? At some point, as a species, we are going to have to accept all differences for what they are, and recognize us a one single species in an endless and infinite universe.
Also, dumb humans suck.
