There are still conflicts — and likely will always be — but nothing like the fighting that's come before, at least in terms of scale. I don't know if that's because we're getting better as a race or because humans are just getting closer to killing off different humans so we've narrowed it down (a handful of races, fewer cultures, fewer religions, etc). You can probably make an argument either way.
I see the narrowing down as the main driver, at least in the US. Every major city now has the same stretch of road with the same chain stores and restaurants etc. Here in Northern Ky, any doctor's office, specialist, medical lab worth a crap is now under the St. Elizabeth moniker. It's as if we never had any anti-monopoly laws ever. The proverbial homogenization seems nearly complete. All symptoms/products of fewer cultures.
Some say you can place your ear next to his, and hear the ocean ....
