wrong but not their own? This is deeper than just cultural bias's but can be used to discuss almost any dispargy in a group that conforms to certain traditions, whether from one family to another, to one religion to another, from one culture to another, even from one side of the world to the other -

How can a person actually be so convinced in what they believe in for no other reason than it's what they have been taught? How can two rational people sit down and one guy think that women should not be allowed to reveal their faces and the other person think that women should be allowed to walk around naked -- how can we consider either of these points of views rational at all if they are both so different from one another? And that's just one example... everyone thinks they are so right but they never stop to wonder why 99% of the people in the world don't agree with them? These people won't play the lottery because of the bad odds and the waste of money, but they will waste their time and life believing in things that have bad odds of being correct...
 
People are just narrow-minded and have no understanding/tolerance of another culture. Personally, I love studying about different cultures and if someone makes a disgusting gesture about it, he/she is still inmature. They think that the world revolves around their tradition when in fact, it's not.
