Explanation / Answer

68. Answer: The just world phenomenon

This is one of the cognitive biases or the assumptions that state that the behavior of a person and their actions inherently bring about the consequences that would be a fair to them. This implies that a person should be rewarded if they do good actions and if the person is carrying out an evil action, the person should be punished.
