What is the connection between frustration and scapegoats?
What will be an ideal response?
People unable to strike out at the real source of their frustration (such as unemployment) look for someone to blame: a scapegoat. Generally, a scapegoat is a racial/ethnic or religious minority. Sometimes it is people of one gender, one age group, or immigrants. The scapegoat becomes a target upon which to vent frustrations.
