    Question

    Which of the following arguments can we associate with ‘right’ wing political forces?
    A. To what extent are people poor because of their own choices as opposed to unequal opportunities?
    B. Are we helping the victims of unequal circumstances if we redistribute money to the poor?
    C. Has the welfare state helped the poor overcome their disadvantage and participate in society?
    D. Has the welfare state created a class of welfare dependents caught in a poverty trap?
    E. Are the sources of social ills like poverty, homelessness, high school! drop-out rates, and so on so complex that state attempts to solve them will generally fail, and often worsen the problem?

    A.

    A,B and C only

    B.

    A,D and E only

    C.

    A,C and E only

    D.

    A,B and D only

    Correct option is B

    The arguments typically associated with 'right' wing political forces emphasize individual responsibility, skepticism towards the effectiveness of state intervention in social issues, and concerns about the unintended consequences of welfare policies.
    A. To what extent are people poor because of their own choices as opposed to unequal opportunities? This question reflects a belief in personal responsibility for one's economic situation, a common view among right-wing ideologies.
    D. Has the welfare state created a class of welfare dependents caught in a poverty trap? Right-wing forces often argue that welfare systems can create dependency rather than empowering individuals to improve their circumstances.
    E. Are the sources of social ills like poverty, homelessness, high school drop-out rates, and so on so complex that state attempts to solve them will generally fail, and often worsen the problem? This reflects a skepticism towards the state's ability to address complex social issues effectively, a viewpoint typically held by those on the political right.
    Therefore, the correct option is (b) A, D, and E only, as these arguments align with the perspectives commonly held by right-wing political forces. They focus on individual accountability, the potential negative impacts of welfare systems, and a critical view of state intervention in social issues.
