This article investigates how interethnic harmony originates and transforms, emphasizing its multifaceted nature as shaped by cultural, social, and political factors. It explores early cooperative impulses tied to resource sharing, the codification of tolerant norms in institutions, and the psychological dynamics that guide identity formation. The discussion extends to the impact of globalization, peace-building processes, and community-level initiatives that foster trust and collaboration. Attention is also given to technological influences on social discourse, including both integrative and divisive potentials. Overall, the article highlights that interethnic harmony follows dynamic laws of transformation that require continuous adaptation, ethical oversight, and collective commitment.
