Similar to the idea that you are more likely to have the same political ideology of those by whom you are surrounded while growing up. Unless the status quo personally and negatively affects you (or those very close to you), you're more likely to defend it. Obviously, this is a huge, sweeping generalization, but I've never talked to a history professor who didn't think it was true.
