In the last decades of the 18th century, the losers seriously outnumbered the winners. Those who were fortunate  enough to occupy the upper levels of society, celebrated their good fortune by living a hedonistic life of gambling, parties and alcohol. It was their moral right, they felt, to exploit the weak and the poor. Few of them thought their lives should  change, even fewer believed it could But the decisive turning point for moral reform was the French revolution. John Bowlder, a popular moralist of the time,  blamed the destruction of French society on a moral crisis. Edmund Burke, a Whig statesman agreed. 'When your  fountain is choked up and polluted,' he wrote, 'the stream will not run long or clear.'  If the English society did not reform, ruin would surely follow Englishmen were deeply afraid that the immorality of France would invade England. Taking advantage of this, Burke  was able to gain considerable support by insisting that the French did not have the moral qualifications to be a civilised  nation. He pronounced 'Better this island should be sunk to the bottom of the sea that than  it should not be a country  of religion and morals.' Sobering though these messages were, the aristocracy of the time was open to such reforms, not least due to fear.  France's attempt to destroy their nobility did much to encourage the upper classes to examine and re­evaluate their own behaviour. Added to this was the arrival of French noble émigrés to British shores. As these people were dependant on  the charity of the British aristocracy, it became paramount to amend morals and suppress all vices in order to uphold the state Whether the vices of the rich and titled stopped or were merely cloaked is open to question. But it is clear that by the  turn of the century, a more circumspect society had emerged. Styles of dress became more moderate, and the former  adornments of swords, buckles and powdered hair were no longer seen. There was a profusion of moral didactic  literature available. Public hangings ceased and riots became much rarer One such person was Thomas Wackley who in 1823 founded a medical journal called 'the Lancet'. At this time,  Medicine was still a profession reserved for the rich, and access to knowledge was impossible for the common man.  The Lancet shone a bright light on the questionable practices undertaken in medicine and particularly in surgery, and  finally led to improved standards of care How though did changes at the top affect the people at the bottom of the societal hierarchy? Not all reformers  concerned themselves which changes at the authoritative and governmental levels. Others concentrated on improving  the lives and morals of the poor. In the midst of the industrial revolution, the poorest in society were in dire straits. Many  lived in slums and sanitation was poor. No­one wanted the responsibility of improvement Could local authorities impose such measures today? Probably not. Even so, the legacy of the moral reform of the late  1800s and 1900s lives on today. Because of it, the British have come to expect a system which is competent, fair to all  and free from corruption. Nowadays everyone has a right to a home, access to education, and protection at work and in  hospital. This is all down to the men and women who did not just observe society's ills from a distance, but who dared to take steps to change it Paragraphs A  But a moral makeover was on the horizon, and one of the first people to promote it was William Wilberforce, better  known for his efforts in abolishing the slave trade. Writing to a friend, Lord Muncaster, he stated that 'the universal  corruption and profligacy of the times taking its rise amongst the rich and luxurious has now   spread its destructive  poison through the whole body of the people.' B  But one woman, Octavia Hill, was willing to step up to the mark. Hill, despite serious opposition by the men who still  dominated English society, succeeded in opening a number of housing facilities for the poor. But, recognising the  weaknesses of a charity­dependent culture, Hill enforced high moral standards, strict measures in hygiene and  cleanliness upon her tenants, and, in order to promote a culture of industry, made them work for any financial handouts C  At first, moralists did not look for some tangible end to moral behaviour. They concerned themselves with the spiritual salvation of the rich and titled members of society, believing that the moral tone set by the higher ranks would influence  the lower orders. For example, Samuel Parr, preaching at London's St Paul's Cathedral, said 'If the rich man abandons himself to sloth and all the vices which sloth generates, he corrupts by his example. He permits his immediate  attendants to be, like him, idle and profligate.' D  In time, the fervour for improved morals strayed beyond personal behaviour and towards a new governance. People  called for a tightening of existing laws which had formerly been enforced only laxly. Gambling, duelling, swearing,  prostitution, pornography and adultery laws were more strictly upheld to the extent that several fashionable ladies were  fined fifty pounds each for gambling in a private residence E  So far, however, circumspection in the upper classes had done little to improve the lives of those in the lower classes But that was to change. Against a backdrop of the moral high ground, faults in the system started to stand out. One by  one, people started to question the morality of those in authority F  The attitudes of the upper classes became increasingly critical during the latter part of the eighteenth century. In  1768, the Lord of the Treasury was perfectly at ease to introduce his mistress to the Queen, but a generation later, such behaviour would have been unacceptable. Such attitudes are also seen in the diaries of Samuel Pepys, who, in 1793  rambles without criticism about his peer's many mistresses. A few years later, his tone had become infinitely more  critical G  Similar developments occurred in the Civil Service. Civil servants were generally employed as a result of nepotism or acquaintance, and more often than not took advantage of their power to provide for themselves at the expense of the  public. Charles Trevelyan, an official at the London Treasury, realised the weaknesses in the system and proposed that  all civil servants were employed as a result of entrance examinations, thus creating a system which was politically  independent and consisted of people who were genuinely able to do the job H  These prophecies roused a little agitation when first published in 1790. But it was the events in 1792­93 which  shocked England into action. Over in France, insurrection had led to war and massacre. The King and Queen had been  tried and executed. France was now regarded as completely immoral and uncivilized, a country where vice and irreligion reigned A H C, D ,E ,G, B  https://www.examenglish.com/cpe/cpe_reading_part3.htm ... building, one fire EXTINGUISHER should suffice likely extinguish The final vote was 128 for, 173 against with 21 ABSTENTIONS The government has been humiliated by this defeat abstain We decided...
