Ostrich Effect--

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostrich_effect

Personally I think people avoid or deny things because if they believe it

e.g, global warming, danger--they will have to do something and they are afraid to, or don't want to--sothey withdraw--say in religion.

I see it all the time,particularly among Burmese.
