Chuck has just moved into a new neighborhood. This new neighborhood is full of people addicted to drugs who live in rundown hous
es in horrible condition. He often sees them on the street struggling to find food and shivering through the cold winter. When his friend asks him if he feels bad seeing these people suffer he replies, "Good people don't end up that way, so I don't feel bad for them." Chuck's attitude BEST illustrates ___________.
In psychology, the term 'just world phenomenon' refers to the tendency people has that leads them to believe that the world is just and that people get what they deserve.
This phenomenon explain why people sometimes blame victims for their misfortune even when the victims had no control over the events. Similarly, this sames phenomenon leads people to believe that good things happen to good people and that if sometimes good happen, the individuals are good and deserving of their happy fortune.
In this example, Chuck moves to a new neighborhood full of people addicted to drugs who live in horrible conditions. However, he doesn't feel bad about them because 'good people don't end up that way, so I don't feel bad for them'. By saying this, <u>we can see that Chuck thinks that these people somehow are deserving of these conditions of living because they are not good people and got what they deserved. He is blaming them for their misfortune</u>. Thus, this would be an example of the Just world phenomenon.
What are property rights, they are rights established by the government to protect the private owners to lose there property from government taking it back, this helps private owners to take ownership of there property .so when this is not well established ,the private owners could possibly lose there right to government and the distribution of private property becomes unfair ,because it would satisfy the intent of the private property owner.
