| Research Abstract |
The final research report was drawn up. A conclusion is as follows. The British society has been supported by the voluntary safety net with a various and multistory structure. These are a traditional charity by the upper class, -such as Meath's open space theory, peculiar philanthropy by the middle class, such as 5% Philanthropy activity or Charitable Trusts, and mutual help activities, like NDFS(National DepositFriendy Society), by the working class. It was shown clearly historically and positively. Those scales were quite big unexpectedly. And the philanthropy activity is functioning not only in the past but still present And we have advocated that it is the mechanism of giving a suggestion significant about the future state of our country.
