Answer:

the Social Gospel movement

Step-by-step explanation:

The Social Gospel was a Protestant Christian movement that focused on charity and good works as a part of their religious devotion. They applied Christian ethics and beliefs and brought them into issues of social justice. They worked to fight and speak out against various social problems, especially issues of economic inequality, poverty, alcoholism, racial tensions, crime, child labor, and poor schools.

It is absolutely NOT social Darwinism, which was a social movement/belief which applied the principals of Darwinism to society. Social Darwinists believed that those in poverty were there because of their own faults and would remain in poverty because of it. They overall believed that people’s status in life was their own doing, and others had no reason to help change it.

I got it right on the test.
