What obligation does society have to its citizens born into poverty?

Answer 1

That’s really a matter of political or ethical opinion more than English. Do you have an essay to write about it? Start by answering with your opinion, then lay out the reasons you think so. I can help you put the essay together, and help if some of the vocabulary is a problem.

For instance, an obligation might be stated in law, or it might be part of a religious tradition. Other important words in your question are

citizens — some argue a society has less obligation to immigrants

born into — some ethical systems distinguish the deserving or innocent poor from those, say, falling into poverty as adults through poor choices

poverty — most relief programs have standards, in the US set by the federal government, to qualify as poor.
