The first motto of the United States was this:

"E Pluribus Unum" - Out of Many, One

Social Order/Organization is a requirement for Social Progress. The history of the U.S. really illustrates this well and I'm sure many other examples can be made. Anyways, without a strong centralized government and a uniform society/culture to support this government there simply is no Social Order. In creating a uniform society a dominant culture emerges three things happen to subcultures:

1. Subjugation
2. Integration
3. Extermination

In my example of the U.S. all three of these situations have occurred. They are neither good nor bad things just part of the process of Social Order.

I don't like using the term "Scapegoat" because it implies "Baseless Blame" and that is simply not true. You can't drive a sociological wedge between people and have them kill each other due to simple "Propaganda". There is always a lot more to these kinds of situations.
