Question

Why does everybody always try to shift blame onto others instead of admitting they are wrong or had something to do with it.

Like lots of the problems in the world today they just build off of older problems that have been caused by pervious generations, there probably isnt one problem today that doesnt have something to do something else that occured 100 or 200 years ago.

Answer 1

no one is tough enough to take responsibility for anything.People love to blame someone else.For fear of being punished in some way.

Answer 2

Well, there's certainly a lot of these questions today.

Now for the actual question:

People always look for someone or something to blame. Nobody ever, for whatever reasons, want to admit they are wrong or had anything to do with  it. If they do, they try their best to minimize their actual participation.

Answer 3

because its easier than taking responsibility for our own actions, which is what we should be doing, but no one teaches that.
