Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Njabulo's pattern of behavior is consistent with scapegoat theory, which suggests that individuals or groups are blamed and held responsible for problems or difficulties that are beyond their control. In this case, Njabulo is blaming immigrants for a wide range of problems, despite the fact that they may have little or nothing to do with the actual causes of those problems. This type of behavior can be motivated by a desire to avoid taking personal responsibility, as well as by broader social and cultural factors that encourage the scapegoating of certain groups.
