Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Dominant groups blame subordinate groups for their problems

Explanation:

In psychology and sociology, the Scapegoat theory proposes people and groups, especially dominant groups have a tendency to blame or point other groups and individuals for own problems. In this way, own failures are attributed to other groups that are usually subordinates. This type of correlation leads to violence towards subordinated or outgroups. For example, during the second world war, Hitler blamed at the jew population for the issues in politics and economy Germany was experiencing and this led to violence against this subordinate group. Considering this, it can be concluded Scapegoat theory mainly shows dominant groups blame subordinate groups for their problems.
