When lower-class groups tend to blame each other rather than the upper class or the class system itself it is known as Displaced Aggression. What causes this aggression to be misplaced?
  1. The source is too big to fight
  2. The source is capable of retaliating
  3. People often displace their aggression on a nonthreatening target
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer - D - If the target of your aggression were bigger, stronger, and could cause much more harm than it is causing at present, wouldn’t you pick on a lesser combatant? Sometimes governments, a much larger group, or a bigger bully is just more than one small group or human can handle. The chosen lesser target is known as the ‘scapegoat.’
