can someone disect this passage for me...
english being my second language and all, im not 100% of the intereptation...
h:
.........
"Blaming the Victim" is, of course, quite different from old-fashioned conservative ideologies. The latter simply dismissed the victums as inferior, genetically defective, or morally unfit; the emphasis is on the intrinsic, even hereditary, defect. The former shifts it emphasis to the environmental causation...........
correct if im wrong. in that passage, there are two "subjects", one being "blaming the victim" and second being "conservative ideologies." when they refer back to the subject as "latter" and "former", its saying:
latter = conservative ideaologies
former = blaming the victim
:thinking:
