cohesion and unity

[Jenny Nguyen]

Hi everyone,

Can you help me to distinguish between "cohesion" and "unity"?

Thank you very much.

They are pretty synonymous. The slight difference lies in connotation. Unity is a little more towards "We are all the same" and cohesion is a little more towards "We stick together in spite of our small differences."

But I emphasize that the difference is small. In most cases they are interchangeble.
