Text 1When a passerby chooses to provide aid to a person in need, it is likely to have a positive impact on both parties in the interaction. An organization called Foundations for Social Change conducted a program called the New Leaf Project that demonstrated not only how a direct cash transfer program provided immediate financial empowerment to homeless individuals but also how it freed up community resources.Text 2Sociologists Karimul Islam and Nissan Nasrin conducted a study on beggars that suggested providing direct relief to the individuals in need had no far-reaching impact on their socioeconomic wellbeing. Instead of having a long term positive effect on their lives, the beggars ultimately continued begging and did not demonstrate a significant difference in their own earnings. Based on the texts, how would Islam and Nasrin (Text 2) most likely respond to the organizers of the New Leaf Project (Text 1)?They would encourage the New Leaf Project to measure the longer term impacts of their cash transfer on the individuals’ lives to determine if the money continued helping them beyond the immediate financial empowerment. eliminateThey would applaud their ability to free up community resources and inquire about their methodology.eliminateThey would argue that providing direct relief is inherently wrong and that they should have pursued their project in an entirely different fashion.eliminateThey would recommend the New Leaf Project to conduct a subsequent study comparing how the impact of the aid varied depending on other social factors such as gender, age, and neighborhood.
