A few days ago I was preforming in a practice right before a play. My friends were around me and my crush was near me. Once we finished our rolls we all climbed down the stairs from a stage. People were pushing us trying to get down and see their family, and I was tripping and jumped to save myself. I still could not catch my balance and hit my nose on the wall. Everyone giggled and the director ran back stage and screamed "What was THAT?!" I was very embarrassed and ended up having a headache. I think the reason this happened is I did not want to sc rew up in front of my family and ended up embarrassing myself further thinking about it. Now my nose is swollen and very unflattering. I had the rest of the night to think about this and my friends came and comforted me.
Answer:
The correct answer is Scapegoating.
Explanation:
In the context of Psychology, Scapegoating is the tendency of blaming others for someone's own failures or problems. Such type of tendency is due to have prejudice towards the person or the group of people who are being blamed. People who are practicing scapegoating are actually misleading others by explaining their failures or problems or misdeeds by blaming someone else, in order to maintain their own self image in from of others.
So in this example, undocumented migrants are being blamed of high unemployment in the state of California, whereas the real reason was not like that. So in this example, the illegal migrants are victim of Scapegoating.
