<p>When I think about my own experience, I find it very surprising that after getting a Ph.D. in sciences, my entire view of the world has changed! Every belief, opinion, misconception I came across before that got a thorough analysis and almost all of them have been tossed out of the window! <br/>But most of my colleagues still stick to their old beliefs. <br/>Then what is the difference between the training I got and theirs? Even though some of them studied and did their research in the same university as I did, there is absolutely no change in them! The cultural, religious conditioning of their minds is absolute!<br/>The difference, I think is 'my grandfather' who was a social reformer and his views have been fed to my father and from him, I got that radical analytical behaviour. <br/>Your family, loved ones, culture, religion will definitely control and condition your mind. Scientific training gives courage up to some extent to overcome it. But if you are not strong enough to go against the tide and can ignore a tag of 'arrogant person', you will never change. Only a handful of people will have the courage to come out of the safety nets they are in to do this. <br/><a href="http://www.quora.com/Why-do-people-ignore-history-facts-and-scientific-evidence-that-contradict-their-pre-existing-ideals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://www.quora.com/Why-do-people-ignore-history-facts-and-scienti...</a></p>
