Outside of the fact that I dislike the idea of the game tracking any
form of "alignment" concept, I'd also note that giving money to a
beggar is an ambiguous action. Yes, it may help the beggar, but it
can also be argued to validate the profession of beggar as a trade
(and a trade it is) if not to actively encourage it. Is the presence
of beggars a Good thing? Which holds precedencs: the health of the
beggar as an individual, or the the "health" of your social population
(non-)affected by beggars?
Further note that quite possibly the most successful ever campaigns to
eradicate leprosy was centred on the wholesale slaughter and removal
of beggars.
