There are many factors that motivated Mr. Baronet to undertake his project “We Are All Homeless”. The first factor is that he wanted individuals who aren’t homeless to understand why homeless people have these signs. These signs are more than words, they tell stories and the experiences of homeless people. The second factor is that he wanted to contribute more to the homeless community. He stated that he felt guilty and discomfort whenever he passed a homeless person. The third factor is that he genuinely wanted to aid homeless people, let the world know their lives as a living homeless person and contribute to their community in his own way. His efforts with this project was helpful by that he showed another side of the homeless life to people …show more content…
This website displays that there are ways you can help homelessness people from all over the world. I also liked that you can help an individual person because in that way, there is more of a connection with the person. The categories that interested me the most is employment and housing. I find these categories interesting because I deal with both of them in my everyday life. It is important for one to have a job/career so they can also have a space to live in. Unfortunately, we live in a world today where finding a decent job can become stressful. The only concern I have for the helping approach is if the person takes advantage of the person donating the money. For example, if I first helped a person purchase a laptop and a newer version is released, they ask me again to donate money so they could get the newer laptop. If I had 200 dollars to donate, I would give the money to any family that need food or water. The reason I would do this is because every human deserves a meal and clean water. Without these basic and vital needs, it would be very difficult for any family to survive, especially ones with children. This decision reflects my personal values by that family is a significant part of my life. I tend to put my family first before anything else, I would not want to see other families …show more content…
The first approach is the “We are all homeless” project. The pro of this approach is that it highlights the struggles and life experiences of homeless people through art. The con of this project is that unlike the other approaches, it doesn’t provide any type of benefits for the homeless person. It doesn’t offer shelter, food or water. It only offers a time for the homeless person to tell their story and showcase their signs. The second approach is the Handup approach. The pro of this approach is that people can make donations to certain categories of their interest and get a better insight of what that person needs. However, the con is that is somewhat difficult to tell if the person actually does need the product or is taking advantage what they are recieving. The third approach is the Oasis Book Club. The pros include the four programs that are offered for homeless people. The cons is that they can’t offer anytime of housing for the homeless individual. The last approach is the Housing First model. The pro of this approach is that it finds a permanent home for the homelessness as soon as possible. The con of this approach is that the individual/family may stay at the permanent resident as long as possible but may need other attention for other needs. For example, many homeless people experiencing mental illness and need medical attention but have to stay at one
“The two biggest factors driving homelessness are poverty and the lack of affordable housing” (Watson) which is why the Andre House started off with this idea of transition housing. With no one to turn too, one can be isolated all alone in this world and lose faith in humanity. Anyone can be homeless, “It affects men and women of all ages, and involves single people, married couples and those with families” (pg. 59, Crane). The Andre House has daily interviews with individuals who show that they are clean of drugs, employed or at least seeking employment to show that they can be in these houses that offers meals, and no charge of rent. By getting this offer of housing, the “guests live together in community, supporting one another on their journey and helping each other transition into permanent housing” (andrehouse.org).
Chappie as a homeless and far away from home and without family, made me think about homelessness as a critical issue that needs to be observed. We should consider the reasons why so many people become
Respondent three would like to say to people that have stereotypes towards the homeless to know that homelessness are people that are less fortunate and going through tough times. Homelessness are making a difference in a good
In the Public Service Announcement (PSA), “Homelessness,” produced by the Yakima Valley Community College, the college student’s presentation of pathos overshadows their less successful representation of logos and ethos concerning the topic of homelessness.
Amy Taxin and Geoff Mulvihill’s blatantly titled article “Don't help the homeless, critics say - it hurts them” works as a counter to my claim. The article describes how the good intentions and actions, such as camps and free resources (toilet paper, showers, etc.) only enable and prevent the homeless from a desire to move. Logos helps to develop the claim.
Sandi Vidal states in her article “Shared Vision Is a Must for Solving Homelessness,” that the homelessness problem in America is one that has made itself an unignorable issue. People in a community need to work together to address this problem. While individuals can help to slow down the rate of this growing issue, it can not be reversed unless a community is proactive and decides to make a change together. Vidal uses many rhetorical strategies to stress her stance on homelessness. Her use of persuasive appeals build her argument and helps defend her point of view.
Should We Help The Homeless? As once written by Andrew Carnegie, “The problem of our age is the proper administration of wealth, so that the ties of brotherhood may still bind together the rich and poor in harmonious relationship” (Carnegie) Homelessness has been around for centuries, just like the debate over Americans helping the homeless or letting them fend for themselves. There are many aspects must which should be considered in the argument of whether we, the American people and higher class, should help them or not; such as the ethical values of the situation from both the poor and those involved in helping, the cultural and social causes, and effects on their lives.
The number of homeless people sleeping on the streets of the United States hasn't changed over the years. Many people use the least effective ways in helping the homeless. On the other hand, the most effective ways in helping the homeless are: giving homeless people a voice, giving the homeless access to shelters without being judged on how they behave, and supporting the non-profit organizations that want to end homelessness. A great way to help the homeless is giving homeless people a voice.
Homelessness is a struggle that most people don’t know, or that people ignore because they frown on homeless people. These people frown on homeless people because the homeless are often unshaven ruff looking people that had a bad turn in life, this life changing event that turned them into what some people frown upon. These people are frowned upon by so many but the people that frown upon them have no idea what their going through. Being homeless, a struggle known by too many in the United States, in fact there are estimated numbers of 633,782 people being homeless in just the United States alone. These people have found their self’s homeless for many different reasons like bad decisions, not a high enough paying job, or no job could be found,
More people suffer from homelessness than we realize. We often take for granted having a home to go to. I completely agree with Anna about her feelings on homelessness. I often see the homeless on the side of the road and I normally refer to them as homeless people but what I fail to realize is, that “homeless person” has a name, that “homeless guy” is a human being just like the rest of us longing for certainty, stability and privacy. Those “homeless people” are human beings without a home.
In this essay, I am analyzing one picture for the topic of homelessness. This image illustrates homelessness in a grey setting with an emotional landscape of a teenager pant’s from the waist down displaying a styrofoam cup between the teenager’s sneakers. A cardboard sign that states, “Homeless. Hungry. Sick & tired.
The issue of homelessness in America has been evident since the early 1600’s. Across the country men, women and children spend their nights on the streets not knowing when or if they will ever find a permanent home. States and federal officials or city councils have tried to alleviate or at least reduce the number of homeless over the last several decades at a city, state or national level but it continues to be an ongoing problem. There is a multitude of factors that account for the growing homeless population that affects each state in the country differently. Though there are many contributing factors that contribute to the amount of people living on the street at any given night in the U.S.

Goodman 4 Richard Goodman English Comp II S. Cravens 5 March 2018 Ending Homelessness Homelessness is everywhere and it’s a growing problem in America. There are many reasons in which become homeless, and many of us ask ourselves should we help the homeless. We must remember that they are people too, and some time or another in life we all need help, even then homeless. In order to end or prevent homelessness, there are a number of things we must fix, the main thing being the affordable housing.
Homelessness is a significant complex societal problem. Many people think homelessness is an individual problem, but I think society has a large factor on why people become homeless. Individuals who are homeless are not lazy like most of society thinks. These people are struggling with societal problems such as living costs and mostly cannot support themselves financially. In my eyes, Homelessness is a factor of societal forces such as high cost of housing and living and also society having failed systems to support people who are stuck in these sorts of situations.
