Betty Chin And Homelessness

438 Words2 Pages

There is a lady in the area that I live who is making a difference. This lady name is Betty chin and she is known locally and nationally for making a difference. She has met the president when he gave her an award for her work. Locally she is known as the lady that helps the homeless. I first heard of Betty after reading articles about how she went around camps of the homeless offering food to people. It was reported that she was helping because she was a nice person and also because of her history of growing up without a family and having to fend for herself. The next wonderful act that she did was raising funds to build a shower facility for homeless to clean up. The shower is next a shelter that is used to house homeless population nightly.

  • Marxism And Homelessness

    178 Words  | 1 Pages

    Homelessness is a product of social inequalities. Karl Marx stated that the capitalist society produces two prominent classes which are in conflict with each other, bourgeoisie and proletariats. The bourgeoisie are the oppressors who own the means of production and the proletariats are the oppressed workers who labor for the bourgeoisie. Capitalism is distinguished not by privilege but instead by individuality of property ownership and that those who create the conditions of the oppressed group express this power in the form of laws that function to serve the bourgeoisie’s interests (Marx, 2004, p.129).
