What is the “Just-World Hypothesis”? How is this idea a bad thing?
In: Other
In addition to what others have said, it’s bad because it leads people to blame victims. The rape victim must’ve dressed slutty, the poor person must be lazy, the person shot by police must have been a criminal.
It’s an excuse to never try to improve the world, because if bad things only happen to bad people, then it’s ok for bad things to happen.
