Differentiate between the concepts of the undeserving poor and the deserving poor.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: The deserving poor are those whose economic conditions are assumed to exist through no fault of their own. Those who fall into the undeserving poor category are those whom others think should have taken advantage of the supposed opportunities but have not done so due to their own lack of initiative. This artificial and frequently erroneous pattern of assumptions allows others, especially those who are more privileged, to justify the existence of social class inequalities.
