[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Although probably some of you pedantic posters would argue that the woman who died during a tornado because a tree fell in her house wasn’t a victim since “she cHoSe to live in a place with tornados” or “she chose to have trees within the vicinity of her house”[/quote] It makes them feel safe to figure out why everyone who has a tragedy was somehow responsible. [/quote] This exactly. It us called the Just World Hypothesis (a psychological defense mechanism). See also, Fundamental Attribution Error. [/quote] I think you're misusing the term. There's a huge difference in some tragedy befalling a person participating in daily activities and someone being struck by lightning when they intentionally take a sailboat into the ocean during a hurricane because it's exciting. The latter defies commonsense.[/quote] +1[/quote]
