Answer:

In psychology, the just-world hypothesis is an ideology common in the United States that people get the outcomes they deserve.

This hypothesis suggests the existence of cosmic justice or destiny. Scholars that have accepted this hypothesis believe that everyone will eventually face consequences of their actions, either good or bad. In the English language, there are many popular sayings that support this idea, such as 'you reap what you sow' or 'what goes around comes around'.
