“ Douglas Constance is a rural sociologist at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas… he says that the United States is a “psychological, not a sociological nation.” What he means is that we will always hold the individual responsible over the group, blaming the drug addict instead of investigating the environment in which he grew up, and (conversely) celebrating the quarterback above the team following a win.
