Alright, this is what Google says about Dogmatism: Noun The tendency to lay down principles as incontrovertibly true, without consideration of evidence or the opinions of others.

i actually think this one is condemnation

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

what do you think?

OpenStudy (thoritegem):

I believe that it's A

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

why?

OpenStudy (thoritegem):

The act or habit of arrogating, or making undue claims in an overbearing manner; that species of pride which consists in exorbitant claims of rank, dignity, estimation, or power, or which exalts the worth or importance of the person to an undue degree; proud contempt of others; lordliness; haughtiness; self-assumption; presumption. So since Dogmatism means making rules without consideration for others, arrogance means the same thing.
