Will human nature most likely be different as we colonize other planets?

As the probability of space travel becomes more and more likely, what is the probability that human nature will change as we become an interplanetary species? Or, will we simply take our hard-coded ways with us?

To start, I guess specifically our seemingly endless desire to:

1. Categorize, stereotype, and separate ourselves into "power and priority" groups: racial, gender, age, etc.
2. Glorify rules and authority over letting individuals decide what is best for themselves.
3. Rationalize death and destruction through warfare as inevitable.
4. Sensationalize celebrities.
5. Create rigid expectations of what and who is socially acceptable, casting out all others who don't "fit."
