Lately we have been blaming Obama for the problems in the country. Most of this problems were started way before he came into office. Even though he may have made them worse he still isn't the reason for them. Another is when people accuse people of being racist. Every once in a while people slip and say the wrong thing. If they do so it dose not mean that they ar racist. One way to determine if the accused is guilty is if they have evidence on it. Another way is to get the other persons side of they story.
These days the arrow of blame had been pointed to many people for issues around the country. People point the blame at Obama who points the blame at Bush who...Well, i dont know who he points blame to. As i like to think of it just like in the time of the crucible, the blame game is a vicious cycle in this time aswell as in the past. Another example would be relative to school popularity. The nerds blame the jocks who blame the nerds back. The popular verses the unpopular or 'normal' in a sense. I'd have to say that of all places, high school is the most vicious for such blaming's, teasing's, and taunting's. High school students are unsure of what exactly they are, not adults, yet not children, which causes and tempts some to be driven to the point where if they get in trouble for something. All they need to do is point the finger to somebody they detest. Just like the world, this cruel blame game is anything but survival of the fittest.

An example of people being accused for someone else's problem is when a crime occurs. A person can accuse someone for what happened but they may be accusing the wrong person. Another example is Obama. People accuse him for problems that were already there. He is trying to fix some of those problems but people still believe he caused them. Before you accuse someone you need to know all facts of what your accusing them for. Many people all over are accused for stuff before people even have evidence of them doing something.
individuals get accused all the time for things. rape, theft, murder, and so on. Usually they are guilty but sometimes they arent. this is determined eather in court or usually in a police station/office. Another example could be when something goes wrong its always someone elses fault. Like when something breaks, you say it was your little sibling or maybe a friend. 70% of the time its not true but this is usually determined by a parent or an older individual.
People are always blaming Obama for our economy problems. Yes he is helping some of the cause, but he is not always the problem. People will blaime him for their specific situation being bad, when really it's their fault that they don't have good living conditions. Another example of people accusing others is when people stereotype a group of people. For example, my grandparents used to live in a bad part of Pontiac. When my grandpa would put up the Christmas decorations outside, black people that lived around there came and stole them. Ever sense then my grandpa has just stereotyped all the black people and assume they are all bad people, which their not. I think this just happens all the time without even realizing that you are blaming others for things that they haven't even done. You can determine if accusations are true or not by just getting more then one side of the story. If you hear the same story from a bunch of people, then most likely it's true.
An example of an individual or a group who accuse others of there problem is my sister. The way you can evaluates her accusations is just dont belive her or give her a lie detector test. Another way to to whatch and investaget what goes on. Large groups blame Bush for ruining the Unitid Sates economy i think there right. But ways to evaluate this is to look at how the econmey was before Bush and after Bush. Another is to look at how much money Bush put in to the war in Iraq. Individuals and large groups will always blam other people for there problem as long as they have problems.
It seems like we always have someone to blame. Like things are never our own fault. Sometimes it is and sometimes it may not be the case. Take global warming for example. We all point the finger at each other. The cars, the litering, just everything. We all blame, but really it's all our own fault. Or like with the recent terrorist attacks. We blame the government for not keeping us safe. We blame security. We blame forigners. It is not good to freely point the finger. You need to back it up with reasons.

An example of a group of people who accuse others of causing their problems would be the 2 main government parties; the democrats and the republicans. This is portrayed here because there is always one problem but each side has their own opinion. They accuse eachother of being wrong but they never try to work it out together. Another example is when we blame the President. Obama is trying as best as he can, but yet most of the problems he is trying to fix were there even before he got in office. We could have fixed these problems when Bush was our president but now we blame Obama and it's not fair to him. You can evaluate accusations to determine whether they are true or not by going to the main source and confronting the problem, or take actions into your own hands and try and fix them.
No one likes to take the blame for things, and I think everyone is guilty of trying to get some one else to take the blame for them. It is common for people to blame the people around them for things they did if they dont want it to be known that they did it. So they will say their friend or reletive did it. A larger form of this would be most of the people in this country. A lot of times when there is a problem in the country, the people will blame the president for that problem. It may be true, or it may not be. There are numerous ways that people are wrongly accused of doing things. Every one is guilty for it in one way or the other. The person might be telling the truth, or they might be trying to get out of it. Depending on the events, it could be found out if the person is lieing or telling the truth. or mabye not.
Middle Eastern people are getting the blame for terrorist attacks more then ever. Just because they are from the area where other terrorists are from doesnt always mean that they are a terrorist. You could tell if they are lieing or telling the truth by the facts that they bring up. If anything sounds suspicious, you can have doubt but to put someone in jail, you have to have no reasonable doubt. Another example of pointing he finger would be Obama. He aims all of the countries problems to Bush. He claims Bush spent way too much money on the war, sending us into this depression we are currently in. I believe he has a point but there is nothing that we can do now.
one group of people that do this a lot are little kids. when they get in trouble they like to blame other people to get out of it. We have all done it to pears or siblings, but i found i usual just got in more trouble for lieing. Criminals also do this when they get arrested or interrogated. they will point the blame at someone els to get out of it. There are many ways to evaluate a accusation. You find evidence if its true or false. You can also find witnesses, alabies, and other things to determine if its true.
lately we have been blam our problems on other things in our lives on other poeple. like when something gets lost in your house and you dont remember where it is thay blam there family. or when people have money problems they blame it on the goverment. you can tell if there true by steping back for a moment and evualate it. like if the court step back and saw that abagial was just nameing name of people who opposed her it would save some time. in real life i dont think you can blame any one else but yourself for tursting them with an item that went missing all we need to do is to step back and look at it from a different point of view. that is what i think of blameing other people on missing stuff.
People will point the finger at anyone or anything to get the blame off of their shoulders. One of the most common group of people who do this are siblings. I know this because I have 2 of them and no matter what we do, it was the other ones fault. Always. But the other most obvious accusers are high school students. A rumor is spread like wildfire and no matter what it was about, "someone else" started it. Usually you can sort the true from the false by the variation of the story. If you hear from several different people and every single one of them is slightly or greatly different than the last, its false. And if more than one people get blamed, its false. Unless you hear it from the accused themselves, its false. So no matter what, whether its your friend, your enemy, or even your sister, just accept the blame and don't point fingers.
Lately it seems like most people blame certain problems on people that might not deserve to be blamed. A lot of people blame political people for all the problems that occur. Some of the other blogs said things about Obama. He is not the only person that causes things to happen. Anyone in government has the ability. Another group that I can think of that puts blame on others are siblings. It's very common that one sibling blames their problems on their brother or sister. It's just so easy! One way you can determine if the accusations are true or not is to get evidence.
Pointing your finger at someone is very easy to do. I think most of the reason we do it is we dont like to find faults in ourselves. An example is living with me at home. Everytime my brother comes home from college the bathroom becomes a mess we both point the finger at each other. In reality if we werent so ashamed to find a fault in ourselves it would probably be both of our faults. Another example is the recent terrorist attack. We all blame the airports, and government to keep us safe so we can travel safely. The truth is it was just an error in security. To point your finger at someone is easy for all of us, but we all just need to fess up and be able to point the finger at ourselves once and awhile.
It is not easy to take accountability for your actions and it is very easy to pass blame which a lot of people do. One place that it happens the most is in sports. A big example is the goalie will blame the defense a lot more than they should instead of taking the blame. One of the ways you can evaluate this is looking at the play and looing at the person who is passing the blame. You can ask is the goalie doing his job and what is the defense doing to help and what are they doing wrong. Another example is people will pass the blame for being late for an event. No one likes to be late so when they are it is very easy to pass the blame. It might not be their fault entirely but they can take the blame for it. It might be their fault because they dont get on the other person enough for getting ready, you will get a lot more respect for taking accountablilty for your actions. Passing the blame is not always the right thing to do.
