Persuasive Essay About Homeless People

Superior Essays
Register to read the introduction… Due to recent events, one idea has come to the fore: With radical Muslims killing our troops everywhere they can find them, it is clear we need a stronger force. It is true that we can utilize one of the many powerful weapons in our arsenal, such as the nuclear bomb, yet the civilian and biological affects of this are not worth it. It is clear; we should increase the size of our infantry. And it is fortunate we have this surplus of people lying around, literally. Experts tell us that tourists who see these homeless people lying around our cities find the to be demoralizing and therefore reduce the amount they spend. Is it therefore fair to say the homeless are lowering the amount of taxpayer's profits? And why should the taxpayer feel sorry for these people? Does it actually look like they are doing anything to change the situation they have put themselves in? A recent survey indicated that 70% of homeless people had run away from home due to family problems. My friends, this is more than 2/3 of the homeless! I therefore state my solution, which …show more content…
Of course it is not fair. Therefore, I propose that it is not in our intention to provide these new soldiers with a wage, but rather make them fight for the huge backlog of taxes they have not paid. I grant that the homeless probably will not conform to the high standards that the world expects of our armed forces, and therefore we intend not to spend any more money than we have too. We will therefore create a new division for these men, known as the "Angry Mob". The sole intension of this group is to be deployed into the country, transported to an area of enemy activity, and then be released. We will train them to run around, shooting enemy positions etc. Enemy positions, how to locate them and how to identify the enemy will be included in the training. I believe it is unimportant to train them in tactical moves and why should we spend additional money?

So, why should my proposal be taken into action? Firstly, it will greatly reduce the number of homeless people found in our streets. It will mean that we can give better services back to the taxpayer, and they will therefore agree with my

    People also believe that the homeless have had many opportunities in life to go out and get a job, but they choose not to. Even if the opportunities weren't handed to them, they could go out and get a job as easily as anyone else.

    Veterans are a group of people that write a blank check totaling their life to the government. They fight to defend our country and every American citizen. Then when their service is done they come home to be unnerved and underappreciated. Veterans are: mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, husbands, wives, and friends. The main thing we should do is make them known to others, so they know that we are there for them and let them know their service is more than appreciated, and we should let them know that and not let them be forgotten.…

    The government keeps saying that they want to help the poor, yet they keep taking away from funds that help assist the poor. There have been laws made against begging and sleeping on the streets (Lynch, 2002). If they have no home and all of the shelters are full, homeless people have no place to go to sleep except for a park or other public area. My suggestion would be for the government and the society as a whole to come together and help not only the homeless, but also everyone who is below or near the poverty line. We should come together to help make housing and food affordable to those who can not afford it.…

    Any individual who walks through a major city is liable to see a homeless person. They lie on the streets, beg for money, and are generally considered unsightly by those fortunate enough to be in better circumstances; where a lack of stability and poverty intersect, homelessness will always be a given. The question that this brings to mind is how will society react – will these people just be left as they are, or will the government try and intervene for good or for ill? What sort of intervention – carefully regulated and limited job training and shelters with time limits and strict rules, or a gentle, unhindered support for as long as a person need in order to get back on their feet? The plight of the homeless people additionally evokes the…

    Homelessness is a temporary condition that people fall into when they cannot afford to pay for a place to live, or when their current home is unsafe or unstable. Factors that contribute to homelessness include lack of affordable housing, lack of preventative services to keep people from losing their housing, and inadequate treatment programs for those suffering from substance abuse and mental illness. Homelessness is very common in large cities versus smaller communities in the country. Kozol argues that homelessness has no prejudice and people who are homeless are susceptible to many dangers. Kozol explains that homelessness has no prejudice.…

    We need a change, and a change that will help each other and our neighboring countries. Though, there is stations that gives the homeless food and a shelter for the time being, it still is not enough.

    According to UNICEF, 22,000 children die from poverty each day: 270 million have no access to health care, and 121 million children are out of education worldwide. Poverty remains one of the most severe harms against humanity in society today. Today, the question is not why one of two children in the world remains in poverty while a plethora of people live luxurious lifestyles, as we know the reasons are lack of education, lack of health care, and lack of income equality, but rather how this detrimental problem can be mitigated. Poverty will never truly be eliminated.…
