Not all people do. But most Hindus, Buddhists, and other followers of eastern spirituality share this belief. Hinduism asserts that you are not this body-- you inhabit a body, but you are a spirit-soul who will die and then be reborn (reincarnated) until you have worked off all of your sinful behavior. Hindus believe that who you are today is either a reward or punishment for who you were in a past life. Karma refers to that reward or punishment-- if you have performed your religious duty (dharma) and have been ethical in your lifetime, you will get good karma and a better birth in the next life; if you did not perform your duty and were unethical, you will get a lower birth. Hindus thus believe that what you do will come back to you sooner or later.

In the western faiths, while they may not call it karma, there are certainly beliefs like "you will reap what you sow." Many Christians, for example, believe that you will either go to heaven or hell depending on what kind of life you lived. They do not believe in repeat births, but believe you will be rewarded or punished when you die-- that God (and Jesus) will judge you and you will get what you deserve in the after-life, depending on how you acted in this current life.
