Belief in a just world

This socio-psychological phenomenon shows up in the idea that the world is arranged fairly and that everyone gets what they deserve, depending on their personal qualities and actions. In other words, good people will be rewarded and bad people will be punished.

From this perspective, many successful people, for example, blame anyone who is unsuccessful. The poor are poor through their own fault. In the same way, outside observers often assume that a victim may be to blame for their own misfortune. As for the question of the rich and the poor, this way of thinking has been known to humanity since early times.
