Ritual

An established pattern of behavior through which a group of believers experiences the sacred is called ritual.

Explanation:

Ritual refers to performing ceremonial acts in accordance with traditions. It involves worship and sacraments of religion, rites of passage, atonement, ceremonies and so on. Its characteristics include: traditionalism, formalism, sacral symbolism, invariance, performance and so on. It is a ceremony which is performed in a customary way. Thus, it is a mode of behaviour displayed or exhibited by people in the society.

the reason the welfare system causes so much of a burden on its recipients is because the welfare system does not give its recipients any real tools to actually get out of poverty. the welfare system has embedded poverty deeper into society and has made it harder and harder for people to escape poverty.

in other words, it stoped the poor, and now its making it worse.
