In some parts of the world, the competition for "the right way to do things" is reflected in economic policies, and in other places through religious views and politics. More often, it is varying combinations of all three. Almost anywhere in the world, some group is trying to prove its superiority in thought and action.
What is the driving force behind this intense desire to be right? Why do we go to war and kill fellow humans over it? The idea that others aren't like us must have started it all.
