Context/What were 19th century attitudes to poverty and why did attitudes change?

  6. My Context should mention… • For many years British governments had followed a 'laissez-faire' policy when dealing with its citizens. The governments thoughtpeople who experienced poverty was because of their own moral failings. However, by the end of the 19th and early 20th centuriesattitudes were changingtowards poverty.

  7. Write up context • Take a new page in your jotter and write the heading: Introduction and the subheading Context. • Using the information that you have researched write a short paragraph of background information on what 19th century attitudes were and why they changed towards poverty. • This paragraph should be no longer than 7 lines long!

  8. Signpost/Link - Introduction • Sentence to link signposting: Not only did fears over National Security influence the government to pass reforms other factors such as worries over National efficiency were also involved. • Signpost: Therefore, in order to determine how important National Security was as a reason for the passing of the Liberal Reforms it is necessary to discuss this factor as well as the reports of Booth and Rowntree, political advantage, emergence of the New Liberals and National Efficiency. Link: The first factor to be analysed is the worry over National Security. IMPORTANT: When a factor is isolated this is always going to be the first paragraph of your essay.

Put forward one view of argument. ‘On the one hand…’ Put forward an alternative view ‘However, it is also argued…’ Final sentence should always weigh up your arguments to develop an overall conclusion. You can include historiography to support your argument
