Text The conception of poverty and what to (26) about it have changed over the decades. Under Social Darwinism the lazy and the (27) were supposed to be at the bottom of the economic ladder as a result of the "law of (28) of the fittest". Society was (29) as a network of self-sufficient families which provided for their own. (30) persons outside a household (orphans, the (31) elderly,and the crippled) were provided outdoor relief grudgingly and as a temporary expedient. Although it was (32) that "the poor will always be with us", the individual was expected to improve himself (33) acts of his own will. Charity was thought to be the (34) of idleness. By keeping wages low, labourers would be (35) to work harder. At about the turn of the century, the beginning of concern about natural (36) brought uneasiness about the possible spread of beggary. There was a potentially dangerous class in (37) of disease and disorder. The "poor" were (38) as different from "paupers".
