Attitudes towards charity Flashcards
Main ideas about charity:
1) Scrooge initially refuses to donate to charity which mirrors the miserly upper class business men. He then proves it is still possible to change as he then gives a turkey to the Cratchits anonymously.
2) The wealthy should share their money which opposes Malthus’s ideas.
3) Education is the only way to resolve poverty.
4) Mankind will suffer without a reliable community.
