We Live In A Society Of Victimization, Where People Are Much More Comfortable Being Victimized Than Actually Standing Up For Themselves.

Couldn't agree more. I just don't understand why they don't speak up. What are they so afraid of?

 It's societal conditioning. You ever been in a ghetto? Just don't say anything offensive lest you wanna get robbed or shot or raped.

Victimization is an atrocity. In canada thousands of first nations sit in their reserves doing nothing but do drugs and wait around for their next welfare check. If you are first nation you can get paid to go to school and get free college education. All for just existing. How is that fair to anyone?

I think sometimes people are comfortable being victimized simply because they don't know any better. I was really shy back in the day, which allowed my one boss to walk all over me. One day I simply broke and gave him back everything that he ever gave me. It was a release of sorts; I was free of him and of myself. In that instance, I became comfortable with not being a victim.

I agree with you all so far, moreno finsch and tinseldove. But wait, maybe I'm a victim of peer pressure? Yeah, that's it, it's all of your faults I agreed.

Thats world history. That is not unique to what people do today.

It has gone so far that most people classify themselves as the victimized without even having been victimized.

 And if something bad happens to someone and the person to whom the thing happened does NOT have a victim attitude, people don't know how to relate. People want to console, but a person who does not consider herself or himself a victim does need consolation (which reminds them of the incident). They need closure.
