Persuasive Essay Homelessness

Sick & tired. Anything helps. I have no one. From my heart, I thank you.” The image grabs my attention because this caught an emotional side, yet this makes me wonder what could I do to help someone that is in this position? Everyday someone becomes homeless, found on the street with no help from anyone.

Many homeless people do not have money to live in shelters or homes or even have families that will take them in under times like this. Homeless people have no stable home, no car, so they feel the only place they got is outside in a safe enough place to fit their comfort. The homeless that are cited sleeping outside are getting fined for doing it in public, which they can not afford. There are many reasons why people are homeless and it not being their fault. It could be from poverty, unemployment, lack of affordable housing, poor health, family and relationship break downs, domestic violence, and sexual abuse.

They are dirt poor people who are treated differently because of not being able to afford things. As a society we do this a lot, bring down people because of a lack of money. Think of a homeless person, what do you see? Dirty, smelly, a person that won't do anything with their life? People think that they won't do anything, never thinking about what if they can't.

While this theory can be universal, it mostly applies to urban societies. Most people who live in these urban societies live in poverty and do not have the means to climb the social ladder. As a result they turn to crime. (Simons & Burt, 2011) This theory forces people to ignore the social norms within the society because they end up not caring about the appearance of the neighborhood or if they get in trouble with the law. Similar to social learning theory, people who commit crimes within a disorganized are not able to see how their actions can cause negative consequences.

His mental decay is fueled by his continuous isolation from the world outside of his cab. Travis is a Vietnam veteran who most likely suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder just as other war veterans. While in his cab, he sees many things on the streets that make him angry and he wishes to rid the streets of it one day. His cab is his safe haven. He does not have any contact with anyone but his customers, and fellow cabbies.

If someone does not allow you to touch their things it is probably because it is special to them or to someone else.They also could call the police. Another reason is because you could get arrested and the person going onto the property could not be very nice so you should need a warrant to search someone else’s property. “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” I get why people say they should not need a warrant because when someone walks onto someone 's property they can just say no or please go, but it would be easier for the person to just ask for a warrant and if they do not have one they should tell them to go away. When someone walks onto your property and they do not have the right to be there they would need a warrant because they might not know them. They also could have told them to go away already so they should ask for a warrant the first time and if they do not have one they should not come back and if they come back again they should call the police because they might keep coming

Slums are squalid and overcrowded urban streets or districts inhabited by very poor people. All slums have different living conditions. Housing in slums is built on land that the occupant does not have legal ownership to and without any urban planning or obedience to zoning control. In slums, misconduct and bankruptcy are high. These settlements lack water, sanitation, garbage systems, storm drainage, street lighting, paved sidewalks, and roads for emergency access.

He felt now that his surroundings explained him” (Cather 187). Ultimately, all Paul wants to do is escape life on Cordelia Street. The boring life there is normal there is not suitable for him. He despises the people that live there because they have accepted the boring life that has been handed to them. He feels as though he is chained down in some way; as though he is not freely living life.

I 'm actually torn on this issue. The current price tag to support the homeless, or possibly even the underemployed, is enormous, and what we 've been doing clearly isn 't working. Changes to how we live, and technology have rendered many jobs obsolete, or soon to be obsolete so can 't expect people to work in unskilled jobs when those jobs don 't exist anymore. There will always be people who cannot support themselves due to mental or physical challenges, and society should ensure that they are provided for. There will also always be those who, due to an event or situation, find themselves without a home or means to provide for themselves; these people need assistance for a relatively short period of time.

Imagine living on the streets and having to look for food, not knowing when your next meal was coming. What would you do? Where would you go? This is a daily existence for our clients! Being homeless is a struggle by itself.
