Under Social Darwinism the lazy and the【C2】______were supposed to be at the bottom of the economic ladder as a result of the "law of【C3】______of the fittest". Society was【C4】______as a network of self-sufficient families which provided for their own.【C5】______persons outside a household(orphans, the【C6】______elderly,and the crippled)were provided outdoor relief grudgingly and as a temporary expedient. Although it was【C7】______that "the poor will always be with us", the individual was expected to improve himself【C8】______acts of his own will. Charity was thought to be the【C9】______of idleness. By keeping wages low, labourers would be【C10】______to work harder.
At about the turn of the century, the beginning of concern about natural【C11】______brought uneasiness about the possible spread of beggary. There was a potentially dangerous class in【C12】______of disease and disorder. The "poor" were【C13】______as different from "paupers". Paupers were individuals well【C14】______to being on the low end of the socioeconomic【C15】______. Without shame or bitterness, they would not seek independence and a "【C16】______" life.
