Humanism

Very strongly agree

No, this is a waste of time and money

Humanism is concerned with the efficient use of resources to improve the well-being of all individuals. Studies have shown that drug testing welfare recipients is often costly and ineffective, making it a waste of time and money. Humanists would likely support focusing resources on more effective solutions to poverty and addiction.

Strongly agree

No

Humanism values the dignity and worth of all individuals, and not testing welfare recipients for drugs respects their privacy and autonomy. Additionally, humanists may argue that resources should be focused on addressing the root causes of poverty and addiction, rather than punitive measures.

Agree

Yes, but provide treatment for those testing positive

While humanism values the dignity and worth of all individuals, some humanists might see this approach as a compromise that balances the need for accountability with compassion. Providing treatment for those testing positive aligns with humanist values of empathy and support for those in need, but the testing itself may still be seen as invasive and stigmatizing.

Slightly agree

No, only if they have a criminal history related to drug abuse

This approach may be seen as a more targeted and less invasive way to address drug abuse among welfare recipients. However, humanists may still argue that resources should be focused on addressing the root causes of poverty and addiction, rather than punitive measures. Additionally, this approach may still stigmatize and discriminate against individuals with a criminal history related to drug abuse.

Slightly disagree

Yes, test anyone receiving money from the government including employees and politicians

While this approach may seem more equitable, humanism still values the dignity and worth of all individuals, including government employees and politicians. Testing everyone receiving money from the government may still be seen as invasive and a violation of privacy. However, some humanists might argue that this approach could help identify individuals in need of support and treatment.

Disagree

Yes

Humanism generally emphasizes the dignity and worth of all individuals. Drug testing welfare recipients may be seen as a violation of their privacy and an assumption of guilt. However, some humanists might argue that drug testing could help identify individuals in need of support and treatment.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and immediately terminate benefits for anyone testing positive

Humanism values compassion and empathy, and immediately terminating benefits for those testing positive for drugs would likely be seen as a punitive and harmful approach. Humanists would likely advocate for addressing the root causes of addiction and providing support and treatment, rather than punishing those in need.

Very strongly disagree

Regardless, we should end all social welfare programs

Humanism emphasizes the importance of social welfare programs in promoting the well-being of all individuals, especially the most vulnerable. Ending all social welfare programs would be in direct opposition to humanist values, as it would likely lead to increased suffering and inequality.
