How To Blame Victims In Everyday Life

Decent Essays
In our daily life we see many people that consider themselves victims and they take advantage of the situation because is easier to blame others or lie back. Many victims complain about chores, homework or work; also they are always making excuses to not do what they are supposed to be doing. In my case I had to experience with a Suendy a classmate of mine refused to help out her team. She always had an excuse to why she was not able to help us out.
All started last semester on fall 2015 in Reading class. Everything was going fine at the beginning of the semester; the instructor explained well all the lecture, work and homework. Then she started asking for individual assignments; but also she wanted us to start doing team projects for homework, first the instructor made a random list with names and

The day of the presentation was here and Suendy asked if we printed all the material and if we were ready to present we said yes, but I did not feel comfortable with her asking all those questions because she did not have the right to do it. We get ready to present our songs and as usual she did not wanted to speak in front of the class, so we had to force her by not talking so she had to do speak.
Although Suendy was kind of irresponsible when it comes to do work outside from class and considers herself as a victim because she did not have a computer or had to work, sometimes she tried to help on the class assignments; but still she did not want to present her part of the power points and most of the time we did her job, so at the end she had good

    Direct Victim: The direct victim in the case study is a factory manager who explains that he was shocked and horrified by the mess and damage from the crime. His financial losses were not only the cost of the damages, but also the loss of making money the entire day as the day was spent cleaning up the mess (Crosland, P., & Liebmann, M. 2003). Although the financial needs of the direct victim were not met because the offenders were young children and could not repay it; according to the victim motives for participation in our textbook, the victim’s emotional needs seem to have been met. Some of the needs that were met are holding the offender accountable (the offender took full responsibility for his part in the crime), learning…

    It would require a great deal of practice and patience, but I believe I could accomplish the state of mind and emotion referred to as "radical forgiveness". For many years I responded to situations as a victim, believing I wasn't good enough or blaming others for my choices. As an adult, I try to assume responsibility but old habits die hard and it is a struggle at times to push the victim away. When I consciously choose to not be a victim it is empowering.…

    I enjoyed reading your post and completely agree with your remarks on the situation. I hate to say it but the blame-the-victim dynamic is utilized far too much in our society. Another example of this is that if poverty breeds a higher crime rate, someone can then use that crime rate to justify discriminating against those who live in poverty.…

    There is a growing recognition that crime victims are twice victimized or suffer double victimization. Double victimization implies that victims incur costs during two distinct periods. First, they sustain a variety of losses directly from the criminal incident. Afterwards, when victims turn to the criminal justice system seeking redress, they encounter even more obstacles and must absorb additional costs. In other words, cooperating with the authorities and venturing into the halls of justice exacerbates, rather than ameliorates, the situation.…

    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.…

    I met with my mentor teacher and showed her the assignment printout indicating my requirements for the class lesson that I needed to conduct in the month of November. She thought it would be a great idea to introduce the new unit cover Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet by having the students conduct a webquest to discover information about the Elizabethan Era and the life of Shakespeare and presenting their information using a PowerPoint or Prezi presentation. I asked her if they were familiar with the PowerPoint and Prezi software and she said that they all have used PowerPoint before, but she was not sure about the Prezi. She provided me with a typed page of questions that she had used in past semesters, but she said that I did not have to use…

This is way of thinking in most cases occurs to introverts . The feeling of powerlessnes is another major contributing factor to this. SInce most people like to seem them selves as powerless, they spend most of their time discrediting them selves, consider themselves victims of circumstances.…

    Blaming is an easy out when it comes to problem solving, I have seen it in several work places. 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.…

    Holding responsibility for one’s actions and accepting blame are two different forms of remorse. Although, ostensibly they seem to overlap and carry the same meaning, the actual engineering of each form of remorse differs greatly in regards to the consequences or even references they are associated with. In individual ministerial responsibility within New Zealand’s government, the consequences are found to be more in the lines of holding responsibility for one’s actions rather than accepting blame. Regardless, there are three main types of individual ministerial responsibility that will also be analysed throughout this essay. Individual ministerial responsibility is a constitutional convention, hence it is not entrenched in our legal system;…

    From a person-blame approach, the cause of mass incarceration would be that it is the individual’s fault as to why they are in prison. A solution to a person-blame approach would be for the individual who has been imprisoned to stop doing what it is that they have done to wind up incarcerated. Demetria would be an excellent example of a person-blame approach. Those who believe that person-blame approach would say that it was Demetria’s actions that landed Demetria in juvenile detention. Though this is true, the root of the problem can be connected to this individual’s family.…

    In the last years our news media has been bombarding us with reports of crimes of our youth. We have had teens walking into schools and movie theaters going on shooting rampages. We have watched helplessly while kids that are not old enough to vote, use shotguns and automatic rifles with precision and accuracy. We have tried to find someone to place the blame of these horrific crimes. It is easy to blame the parents for not rearing the children correctly.…

    If I were to ask a crowd full of people what is a victim, what would be most results? Most likely something similar to someone being harmed or killed due to a crime or incident that had occurred. What not many people understand is that words can be used in multiple scenarios can be used in many different ways. I was first actually introduced to the word when I began watching one of favorite shows “C.S.I Miami”. This show was mainly about murders occurring in the city and the main characters/detectives were responsible to find out who was the person behind them.…
