Do you think Welfare should always be provided by the State?
This can vary because of the situation it provides for some people, as some people can have a luxury life on benefits yet not work which is not fair, therefore it should be necessarily given rather than provided compulsory.
Which of the four ‘providers’ of Welfare do you think may provide the best provision?I think that the state is the best because it concerns all aspects of society such as environment, transport and education.
1. Do you think the creation of the Welfare State has been a force for good?
This is mostly true however some people take advantage of the beneficial opportunities and therefore is not a good aspect of the welfare state.
TRANSPORT
why do you think it is different now?
Transport has changed due to an improvement in technology and there are more choices in the way you can travel, they are more advanced and have a quicker duration.
What effect has this had on the population?
As the population has increased, the transport facilities are a lot busier and therefore need different time allocation and need to work efficiently.
Are we now ‘better off’?
Yes definitely. We can travel anytime and anywhere and do not need to worry about how we are getting there.
