I carefully considered the question, which drew me to ask myself how society typically treats the homeless and helpless within a variety of situations. We certainly feel bad for them, however in those circumstances, do we always take action? Additionally, in situations where homeless presence is unwelcomed, they are often chased off in a typically demeaning manner. Ascher states, “We want to protect ourselves from an awareness of rags with voices that make no sense and scream forth in inarticulate rage,” thus demonstrating her thoughts as to why we shy away from those who so direly need our help. Ascher then provides hope.…
Argument Essay In the article “Charity means you don’t pick and choose” by Patricia O’hara, the author shows a contrast between the giving and the poor. The article explains how a little boy and his mother were stopped by a “homeless person” and how he asked for his “doggie bag” if the little boy wasn’t going to eat his left over food. The mother reacts by grasping her sons’ hand, which gives an impression that she feels vulnerable around a homeless person. This is contrasted when another group of people walked past and made an remark “It’d be better if they got a job,” which shows that second group of people have no respect for the homeless and judge them straight away.…

C handler the Fair, clad in a Mk II Fackelträger suit, was peeking around a hallway from the corner of a wall. He carefully searched for any patrolling sentries in the vicinity. Inside a section of sewer tunnels underneath a street in Oakland, California, things can be very unpleasant, regardless if he and his Kameraden were detected by either enemy sentries or even the unsuspecting sewer maintenance worker on the occasional night shift. When it seemed that everything seemed safe for both himself and the others he was with at the time, he told the others what he had seen. “There’s nothing here,” whispered Chandler, “Let’s get a move on.”…
I’m walking along the sidewalk of Dubourg Hall when I see him, a tall African American man with a grocery cart filled to the brim with what looked like trash to me, but to him, was probably personal treasures. At first glance, a ping of fear captivates my nerves as I stare intensely at the pavement as to not make eye contact. But as we draw closer, my unjustifiable fear transforms to empathy, sadness, and compassion. This obviously cold and homeless man must encounter judgmental eyes, disgusted faces, and pure hatred every day he walks his streets. He lives his life pacing up and down the same roads searching for something, anything.…

I would often visit San Francisco to visit nearby family. I would also use these opportunities to roam around San Francisco’s Union Square and Chinatown area. It was during one of these excavations that my perspective was opened up to a rather ironic stance that many citizens take about modern political issues. One afternoon, I stood outside at Union Square after a successful, impulsive shopping trip. I had about thirty minutes left before I was supposed to regroup with my family to embark on our journey home.…

Wearing a pair of light-grey sunglasses, a corpulent old woman with a hawk nose staggered onto the bus with a huge bag in her hand. My attention was caught instantaneously as the huge scar spreading from her right eye to her ear popped into my eyes. She stood near the door, scanning everyone on the bus in details with her rolling eyes under the sunglasses. I then noticed the eccentric combination of a white T-shirt outside of a white sweater with a pair of white slippers. Weird clothing, a huge bag, people would not normally do that, unless… unless they were homeless!…
