But I have also seen workplaces without blame, like the Army where you are stuck with the people in your platoon and blaming someone doesn’t help the situation. However, a lot of kids are faced with this issue early in life when they play sports. It is more than just being sociable and meeting people. Playing competitive sports is about team building. It may be small in the grand scheme of things, but personally there was a lot to be learned from blaming others in similar situations. My junior year at South Charleston was my first year of playing football, and entering that culture. The team went 5-5, and the 5 loses were by a combined 21 points.

While there is some blame to be had, the focus should be on how to prevent further attacks no matter if they come from the Islamic State, Taliban, Haqqani Network, Boko Haram, or the Irish Republican Army. Part of that equation is acts of terror require blame, because they want recognition. The focus should be on tighter security, or humanitarian efforts to losing the extremist grips on locals. Further I am sure that some individuals will be blamed in India for letting the attacks happen, when there is little a developing country can do about the issue without support. In the Brussels attack, two ministers offered to resign because they took blame for the attacks (Phipps Weaver, 2016). However, that does little to help the situation. After the fact, all that can be done is to learn from what happened and adjust to it whom to blame for the breach of security or even the attacker is a secondary action to improving to the

    Therefore, this was a team of small freshmen and sophomores playing against mostly juniors and seniors at the varsity level in one of the most talented high school conferences in the state. We finished the season 1-15, most of which were pretty tough losses but we worked hard and left it all on the field every game and that in the end is all that matters.

    The number of obese people in this world today has grown tremendously from what it used to be. Most people would blame this on fast food places, but reality check, people are responsible for themselves.

    Some people put themselves in life-or-death situations without the knowledge of the dangers they could face if they find themselves needing help. This brings up the question if people should be held accountable for their actions in this kind of situation. People should not be held responsible for their actions because people aren’t perfect and will make bad decisions, and if a person does get injured or dies in a dangerous situation, it may not always be the person’s fault. A person should not be held accountable for their actions in a life-or-death situation because he/she might make illogical decisions when they know their actions will determine life, or death. For example, people might make dumb decisions out of panic because they know…

    As a response to years of domination and human rights movement, the phrase “blaming the victim” was coined by William Ryan in the book he published in 1971 (Schoellkopf,2012). Many people have adopted the phrase including supporters of crime victims, specifically rape victims. In the Old Testament concerning tragic events, various instances of victim blaming can be found considering blaming the victim as sinners (Robinson as cited in Schoellkopf, 2012). Victim blaming is one of the unfortunate consequences of a belief in a just world. According to Schoellkopf (2012), it is an occurrence that has been recently recognized as a dynamic used in maintaining status quo and empowering criminals.…
