Societies are full of inequalities and injustices -- the disproportionate distribution of wealth and inequality of access to health care and education to name just a few. Individuals react differently to observed or experienced injustice. Some feel moral outrage and seek to restore justice. Others show disdain for the victims or adopt belief systems that serve to justify existing social, economic, and political arrangements. In other words, people confronted with injustices that are difficult to redress in reality may try to restore justice cognitively by blaming the victim or justifying the status quo.
