How Do People Treat The Homeless

Improved Essays
Treat Others With Kindness
Imagine living on the streets, alone and cold. No one cared and no wondered how you got there. No money to spend, no food to eat, nowhere to go. Wearing the same clothes over and over again. Sleeping on pathways, in tunnels, on dirt, living on the streets. Waking up next to people staring, enjoying themselves. How does that sound? How does that make you feel? Over the years, as I grew older, it made more sense how they got there, and how they felt. Some lost money, some got kicked out, as others didn’t have anywhere to go since the beginning. The world isn’t perfect, people aren’t perfect. I would always ask my mom for some change or at least a single, I would run over and put it in their cup. For me it was the right thing, a generous thing. [Today all over the world people treat them like they mean nothing, how they throw things and yell at them.] But in the end we are all the same but with different lives.
I believe in helping the homeless. Giving them money, clothes, and shoes is something important to them. Making them feel special, that they fit in. Just giving a dollar puts a smile on their face. We might see homeless people differently; however, they see us as the top of the world. They ask for money to stay alive, to be able to get

The mom just stood there and did nothing about it. My uncle being who he is, walked right up to the three and yelled at the kid for being rude to the guy. Again the mother did nothing, they both just walked away. The guy who was being yelled at thanked him. Then my uncle asked “Do you want something to eat?” The man said yes, but he started to order off of the dollar menu. My uncle said it's fine and to get whatever he wanted. The man hugged my uncle in tears of happiness. We should always be there for the people who need it, even though they don't know who we are. (It means a lot to

    I started going the opposite direction trying to get away from the guy until my mom got back. When she got back, we went to the register and the creepy old guy went up to me. I was ready to sock him if he did anything, but he gave me some kind of chocolate coin. Even though I refused to eat it because it could have been drugged or something, I looked at the guy and he seemed better than he was before.…

    As citizens it remains our role to start education about service young, teaching children humanity and the ever important value of giving. We need to promote engaging homeless people in conversation and making them feel welcomed, and human. The more people that initiate acts to protect homeless shelters and other options for these people to go, the greater the awareness, and the greater the likelihood government will take action in the…

    People, just like me, in a so called land where dreams come true, but who's dream is to be dehumanized by their own? The homeless are often described as dirty, lowly criminals, drug addicts when in reality that is what we have been conditioned to believe. Panhandeling is not the equivalent…

    Rationale: Throughout the Great Gatsby novel, despite the extravagant parties that are held by Jay Gatsby in his mansion in particular, he is still remotely isolated from the public’s connection, as he remains to be recognized as a mysterious person. Since F.Scott Fitzgerald introduced Jay Gatsby as an isolated figure in the society throughout the novel, therefore the main objective of this written task is to introduce the true identity behind Jay Gatsby to the society and public. In-order to accomplish this task, I will be writing a written task based on Jay-Gatsby’s statement to a press conference where he will declare his true background stories and identity to the society as a whole. This type of text will allow me to explore my creativity…

    In my opinion, James O’connell – the president of BHCHP organization (Boston healthcare for the homeless people) – is one of the few people who really helps (or try to help) poor people and tries not just to fix their problems temporarily and put short-run bandages, but also tries to help them get out of poverty and show them future, which is not oriented on living in the street and thinking to get a bed for that night or have dinner (being oriented on just one day), but looking forward in the future. He, himself, had a hard time to become “a street doctor”. At first, he wasn’t even able to ask any medical questions. This was completely different from what he’s been taught in medical school.…

    I hope people but not because I pity them that because I know where they've been, because I walked in their shoes. Maybe not exactly the same, maybe the details or tweaked a little and maybe one of us has it worse off than the other but nonetheless you help people because you want to. I remember one day I was in the thrift store and there was a little girl and her older sister and her mom was fine with buying the younger one all these nice clothes but the older one can even have one shirt that she wanted at this time I was probably only 13 years old but even then even without knowing what it felt like to not have the money to pay for something I didn't know how it felt to not feel the same, to not feel equal as others so as she walked away I proceeded to grab that shirt bring it to the front and pay for it in secrecy. I put in a bag and right after they walked out the door I ran out to them and I said hey, I think you forgot a bag they acted confused because I could've swore they got everything…

    Do they thank a random person on the street for aiding the help they receive? No they only thank someone when that person gives them money from their pocket and sometimes they don’t even thank the person. I mean if they do get a job that may be considered giving back because now they have to pay taxes but they should have to do more like community service or volunteering to repay society for helping them. There is homelessness all over morally it isn’t right to help the homeless for multiple reasons such as it isn’t fair to the tax payers, they get free housing that is would be more deserving to a low-income family, and because they don’t give back to society.…

    Due to the continuing problem of homelessness in Utah, I wanted to possibly give some suggestions on the issue. I feel like Utah is actively working on making the situation better for all but I wish there was more to be done. The reason I care about homeless people is because honestly, as a kid, they scare me. It is hard to see them begging on every corner.…

    For many years, society has looked down upon the homeless because of their social status. People have been given the notion that the homeless are in the situation that they’re in because of many taboos that society looks down upon like alcohol, drugs, and gambling. People should be showing the homeless compassion and offer help, instead are met with mean actions and awful words towards their way of life. Not all homeless people are in their situation because of addictions. There are a great number of homeless people out there who are veterans that struggle with mental disorders that they received from past wars, such as PTSD, that do not allow them to live a normal life.…
