Absolutely. I'm a dispositionalist in many ways; I believe that, if the situation itself is neutral and a person's basic needs have been met, then it is entirely reasonable to hold them to a certain moral standard and expect them to work for a living. Even in slightly negative situations, my aim with help would be to make the situation more favourable so as to facilitate the taking of responsibility by the individual.
I was born at the right time in history, to a family that valued intelligence and intellectual pursuits, and had the means to make sure I could go to university without crippling debt (though not debt-free.) One generation ago, I would probably have found myself working at a bank after high school, or going to college for nursing. I feel very lucky that my life has basically allowed me to have the illusion of complete individual morality. I've never been tested by an extreme situation. I've always had good choices available to me, and I take credit for having chosen well most of the time, but having the choices to begin with is an accident.
