Or maybe how Scrooge realizes that what he really needs to do rather than worry about his business is to love those around him. One last Christian aspect elaborated on in the book is how society needs to care for the common welfare rather than their own selfish wants.

Well, hate and disrespect for each other is a human trait. To many people, gender roles are a fundamental part of their worldview, of how the world is and should be.
