Psychologization

The psychologization of social, sexist and racial problems is a way of explaining situations of marginality by focusing on the individual without taking into account the social structures of power, which are the cause of such situations of marginality.

For example, in this period of confinement, there were families that had problems in providing technological resources so that their children could follow online education; in that situation, some media blamed families for the scarcity of these resources, instead of seeing the existing responsibility in society.
