Nice, points, Chloe. I took another look at this parable and noticed some irony which I'd like to point out:
- A-Town's officials decided to use the term "welfare" as a euphemism for "dole", but the citizens still had a derogatory connotation with the word.
- A-Town tried an approach that would not "destroy the moral character" of its people, yet those on welfare suffered from feelings of inferiority
-B-Ville was less of a businesslike community, yet the terms they used in their government aid system had a businesslike sound to them: "insurance", "citizen policyholders", and "claim adjusters"
