I would say that arrogance would always contribute to ignorance. Some things can only be perceived through the eyes of humility.
But I think it is possible to be ignorant without being arrogant. An ignorant person may need more education, but their character could be in full bloom.

one of my favourite quotes - arrogance and stupidity is the most dangerous combination
Yes - they sometimes contribute to each other but most often, I find that arrogance comes from a sense of entitlement - most arrogant people feel superior, wether by means of wealth or education, and are not "ignorant" at all - some arrogance comes from insecurities about their "place' but I personally feel that they are on two entirely differnt ends of the spectrum...
Cheers

Yes I think that is quite true. Arrogances will cause ignorances. Ignorances must be defend with arrogances... Agree?

Very much so, if you are arrogant, you think you are great comparatively. If you find out you are actually just the best out of your fam and everyone else can beat you silly at (any skill, game or whatever here) then you have just learned ..no, you are not as great and super as you thought, arrogance thinks they are better, no one is better then everyone. They may not get that.
(note that there are also smaller cases, where it's not as blatent as "I'm better then you. period." and other things also bring arrogance on)

Over 3,300 U.S. military personnel has died in the Iraq war as of today because our President is ignorant and believed the weapons of mass destruction existed in Iraq and is too arrogant to admit his own mistake.

Yes, i think that they both contribute to eachother. once you are arrogent, you become very ignorant of things around you.

Often, but certainly not always.
The reason they can is because one who is arrogant believes they know everything. In believing this, they cease to seek answers, therefore, are ignorant on certain matters.
Keep thinking. ;-)

Most people are often ignorant of their own arrogance.

Yes, arrogence is overconfidence. Confidence in ideas leads people to shut out other ideas. Shuting out ideas = ignorance.

That's extremely true. Each fuels the fire of the other.
