Have you ever thought about why peoples minds work differently from others? This fact is most obvious in a family situation. If the way your mind works comes from your parents siblings should be pretty similar. In such an environment difference in thought cannot be attributed to a difference in their growing-up environment since they are so intimately similar between siblings. Any differences in opinion whether political, philosophical or moral can be mostly attributed to personal taste and judgment which constitute how an individuals mind works. What influences personal taste is another discussion all together.
One of the reasons I so love to talk to my Dad about my problems is because he is so mathematical in his approach. He's able to quickly see solutions which will bring the most harmony in my life. My Dad's an accountant and so I imagine him thinking through life problems in the same way in which he does someones taxes: always ensuring that liabilities and assets exactly equal each other and always running his solutions through eternal principles as if he's balancing a long equation.
I believe my method of thinking through things comes a lot from my background in art. I have to sketch out possible solutions--erasing here and there and adding here and there until I see a scenario that is balanced and harmonious.
