Arrogance comes from a "need" to feel superior to others. Arrogant people have an inner low self esteem in them selves and have to use the lowering of others as a crutch to raise themselves.
The intellectually arrogant (example professors) though having lots of education feel in them selves that they are not really that smart. They have just read more books and their IQ is ordinary. They then must go out to prove to others that they are superior. Surrounding themselves with people they have fooled and the ignorant (students in the case of Professors).
The arrogant sports figure knows he is there only because of some accidental gene so he could hit a ball or knock down things. Everyone tells him he is the greatest but he knows its not true and any injury can bring him down. During cave man times this would be real important but in real life, today, this is meaningless. Thus he must inflate his importance by putting others beneath him.
The arrogant movie star is surrounded by people who tell them they are the greatest. Truth be known they know in them selves that it was only by accident that they are where they are. They saw around them so many others just like them struggling to make it. People they considered more talented than they were yet they succeeded and the others didn`t. In order to quiet that inner voice telling them they don`t deserve it, they must become arrogant.
The rich arrogant, again, knows they don`t deserve it. Thus must protect themself by taking a position above criticism.
They live in fear that some day someone will come along and say, "Hey! you are just ordinary, there is nothing special about YOU."
Hope that helped.
Good question

You make it sound as though all people are arrogant. Not everyone is. As to why some are..... I have yet to figure that one out. It's like they think they are better than anyone else. For someone to think that way just really irritates me. Really no one person is better than any other person.
