Imagine being homeless with nowhere to go nothing to eat and having nothing. Throughout the usa there have been between 500,000 and 600,000 people homeless every night. Homelessness is something that affects all races ages and religions, people judge them thinking that they are just lazy and don 't want to find a job but usually that is not the case, the homeless people you see on the streets all have life stories that if you took the time to listen you would have a different opinion on them. It is impossible to count the exact amount of homeless but it is known to be millions every day everywhere men women and children are begging for money on the streets “Most of these people carry shopping bags and carts to keep their belongings but have nowhere to go If someone gives them money they may respond with prayers of thanks and blessings these people are called homeless”.

He talks about the connection between homelessness and poverty that “homelessness is social issue that when the standard living of the American working class and lower class falls, individuals and families at the bottom are plunged into homelessness”(p.224). Many homeless women are poor and don’t have high job skills. They are vulnerable population in a job market and always had been facing the obstacles when they looking for, finding, and keeping a job. Homeless people do believe a job is the way out of homelessness.
Public opinion and the media have the ability to influence the creation and implementation of homelessness policies due to the fact that “homelessness” encompasses such a vast area of policy domain related to social welfare.

Birkland describes this concept as the interactions between actors in the policy process and subtly assumes that this can expedite and advance policy proposals.

Summary and Analysis Exercise The main idea of the article, “Disciplinary Culture and General Education,” by Sheila Tobias is about how Tobias argues about how the presentation of how subjects are taught is what makes courses so difficult for students and not the content of the material. For example, Tobias has claimed that the subject of mathematics is never just a subject but rather a relationship between the students and the subject (Tobias p.18). I believe this article is written for the audience of students and professors because the article addresses how certain classes may be challenging for some students because of the way certain professors teach the material for the courses.

On December 14, 2012, 20 innocent children were stripped away from being the future of America, and 6 adults who woke up with the intention to provide them an education were murdered on the hallways of Sandy Hook Elementary School.

The crucial similarity of the schools affected was their lack of improved and enforced security. Similarly, school security procedures and measures currently in place are not effective in preventing violence.
It wasn 't all that long ago that most families lived and worked on a farm. When the demands of farming were particularly intense, such as during planting and harvesting, schools shut down so that the children could help with the work load. This still influences modern school schedules, many of which have a spring break and a summer break even though most children are not working the land with their families during that time. The modern world can foster a profound sense of disconnectedness and children in particular can suffer from a sense of meaninglessness.
Essay on The Homeless Introduction to Human Resources Columbia college By Kawana Roberts The issue of contemporary homelessness has took a huge shift from the common perception of homeless people.
