The human species IS suffering [has ALWAYS suffered] from the human penchant for unbridled arrogance: We all know that this is an ongoing, "cross-cultural" affliction, & one of the leading contributors to humanity's greatest problems.
This is an easy question to pose, quite another to competently address: Problem is, while we may genuinely understand that arrogance is an "inflated" behavioral distortion, reactive on issues that surround human pride - often, a defensive mechanism for felt inadequecies, this does NOT stop "it" from showing its ugly head when any one of us feels threatened or has an underlying sense of trepidation. If this were the only "cause", we might stand a fighting chance to effectively keep the behavior "in check." However, arrogance can also be born of genuine "superiority complexes," fixations on learned doctrine or dogmatic entrenchments of the mind, and even naturally occuring biases within the philosophies, world views, & "spins du jour." And, so it goes...

I think arrogance, like hypocrisy helps people evolve. Bad things can serve as good examples of how NOT to be.
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists
in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on
the unreasonable man".George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

Seems arrogant to ask a question to which you already know the answer. Do you desire to impress others with your knowledge and intelect ? Give up trying to impress others and seek their welfare before your own. Two good ways to start.
