Hubris

Hubris, arrogance, and pretension are related to the need for victory instead of reconciliation.

Hubris is usually perceived as a characteristic of an individual rather than a group.

It often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one’s own competence, accomplishments, or capabilities. 

Hubris often causes a committer of hubris to act in foolish ways that belie common sense.
