The Samaritan's dilemma is a dilemma in the act of charity. It hinges on the idea that when presented with charity, in some location such as a soup kitchen, a person will act in one of two ways: using the charity to improve their situation, or coming to rely on charity as a means of survival. The term ''Samaritan's dilemma'' was coined by economist James M. Buchanan.〔(Roger E. Meiners, “Victim Compensation”, Lexington Books, 1978 p 99 )〕 The argument against charity frequently cites the Samaritan's Dilemma as reason to forgo charitable contributions. It is also a common argument against Communism and Socialism, claiming that state aid is equivalent to charity, and that the beneficiaries of such aid will become slothful or otherwise negligent members of society. The dilemma's name is a reference to the biblical Parable of the Good Samaritan. ==See also== *Moral hazard *Criticisms of welfare 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Samaritan's dilemma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
