commonalities

Different places, similar forces These incidents span vastly different settings—a tourist hotspot, a public health campus, a military base, city neighborhoods, a music event, and a rural bar—yet they share troubling commonalities:

The commonalities were basically this idea that perfection is achievable, that we can reach God in that way.

Packham was hoping that by getting a whole range of activists together on a single stage "they would all see the bigger picture and recognise that there are far more commonalities between them than differences."

Other impulses surround them: the impulse to not be alone, to hear a loved one’s voice, to connect with other people who share your identity group and political commonalities.

For these friends — in a lot of cases, "warm acquaintances" is a better fit — the list of commonalities might end there.
