Belief in a just world

Explanation:

The theory of The Belief in a Just World argues that justice is a motive different from self-interest.

Just world belief theory states thst the world is a just place where things happen for a reason.

It believes that people deserve what they get and get what they deserve.

In this theory people tend to attribute a bad thing happening to someone, in most cases as karma.

In light to the incident of Hurricane Sandy, the argument by just world theories stipulates that since they refused to leave their houses before the hurricane swept over them, that they got what they deserve and deserve what they got.
