The first major factor in the growth of social welfare was the industrial revolution, which led to widespread poverty and poor working conditions for many people. This prompted governments to implement social welfare programs to provide assistance to those in need and ensure social stability.
Otto von Bismarck created the first modern welfare state in the 1880s as a means to undermine socialist movements in Germany and secure the loyalty of the working class to the state. By introducing social insurance programs like healthcare and pensions, Bismarck aimed to address social unrest and prevent the rise of revolutionary movements.
It is difficult to pinpoint the first social reformer, as many individuals throughout history have worked to bring about social change. However, notable early examples include figures like Buddha, Confucius, and Moses, who advocated for moral principles and social justice in their teachings.
The concept of social class has existed throughout history as societies differentiated between groups based on wealth, power, and privilege. There is no single individual who can be credited with inventing the first social class, as social hierarchies have evolved over time in various civilizations.
The development of agriculture was one of the first developments that helped people shape their communities. This allowed people to settle in one place, form communities, and establish more permanent structures for living. Agriculture also enabled population growth, specialization of labor, and the establishment of social hierarchies within communities.

The answer depends on the sign of the growth factor which is less than 1. There is no factor that is "less then 1"!If the first term is 0, the growth factor has no effect.A positive growth factor less than 1 results in a sequence that decreases towards 0. A growth factor greater than 1 results in a sequence that increases without limit if the initial value is positive, or decreases without limit (towards minus infinity) if the first term is negative.
It was revolutionary because it marked the first time the gov't took direct responsiblity for it's citizen's welfare.

New Nationalism was the first welfare program of The United States of America.
The local social welfare societies were the embryos of the independence struggle that had enabled Africans to arrive at an alternative formula against colonialism. In mobilising their members for action, the welfare societies inevitably assumed a political persona. With welfare and politics interlinking, serious talks began to emerge in the African sectors for a more co-ordinated approach against colonial rule and the settlers' disregard of the plight of local people. To that end all welfare societies were amalgamated to form the Federation of African Welfare Societies. This formation was then transformed into the first African political party in colonial Zambia known as the Northern Rhodesia Congress (NRC). Arguably, this slant of social welfare had a transformative ethos which should have been re-modified and adapted to post-colonial conditions. At independence, the UNIP government should have used the former as a stepping-stone in order to build a modern welfare system. Unfortunately, this was not the case and post-colonial Zambia failed to bridge past organic efforts with contemporary endeavours. Invariably, some colonial methods have surprisingly survived in four decades. In this regard, social welfare actions in post-colonial Zambia have almost remained apolitical and not like in the beginning, when they were couched in political processes. Apart from a brief period in the 1960s, when there was an attempt to bridge political philosophy (albeit of the ruling party and its president) and social welfare, such overtures have not been attempted since. Probably, a social welfare that is non-political creates passive citizens who do not see that social welfare services are part of citizenry entitlements that any democratic state should guarantee its citizens. A citizenry that is politically conscious and aware of this fact would then place demands on its elected leaders relating to the meeting of their needs. This is what happened in colonial Zambia when enlightened Africans saw themselves as inextricably linked to political issues and the question of African self-determination (Cited from Social Welfare in Zambia: The Search for Transformative Agenda - Forthcoming by Ndangwa Noyoo. London: Adonis & Abbey).

It appears the idea began with President Franklin Roosevelt (D) in the 1930's. He also brought in Social Security.

It depends on your stance on the subject. If you are against welfare you should say something like "Welfare is a negative aspect of the governments social programs due to the obvious problems of... blah blah blah" whereas if you are for it you should go with something like, "Welfare is a great program that assists many and benefits society as a whole because of... blah blah blah." You might have a more specific idea for the paper, so lead with that in the thesis. The thesis is really just the main arching idea of the entire paper summarized in a sentence you put in the first paragraph. actuallyy, a thesis statement should not have an opinion in it, and its suppose to like tell pretty much what your talking about through out the report so if it was about welfare and you said welfare was bad because .... .... .... and like say reasons why it was bad and you should explain about the reasons with more detail in the report.
