Why do humans act the way they do? Why do they judge before all the facts are shown. Why do they just walk by something bad is happening and don't do anything. There were only 2 out of 100 people how stopped the white boy as he was stealing the bike wale the others just keep on walking didn't do anything just watched.

When people see kids being walked on leases it gives a little bother they try to ignore it. but as soon as there tied to a pole as a dog people cant handle it they now have the courage to now go find that parent in the store and yell at them. why is that what gives them that boost of courage that they didn't have before.

Why is it when people see homeless people they pay them no attention until there being herased

    In the article, “Homeless, Mike Dick Was 51, Looked 66,” author Kevin Fagan stated that “The nation needs to commit, emotionally and economically, to saving these older folks” (321.) The older folks referred to in the article are homeless people that live across the United States. Fagan maintained that the nation can do better in terms giving back to the needy, especially considering the wealthy of the nation.

    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.…

    Overview Everyone in America talks about the American dream; a big house with a great family and a white picket fence in the yard. For others, the American dream is to never have an empty stomach, it’s a place other than the cold and dirty concrete, it’s where people can shower more than once a week. The American dream isn’t what it’s all cracked up to be for some. There are people that go day after day barely surviving.…

    Where There’s a Will There’s a Way Homeless are often in a state of social exclusion where the support and cooperation of the society are null. We all tend to generalize individuals creating stereotypes believing that every person belonging to a specific group is the same as the other members in this case the homeless. Due to the lack of tact and intolerance, most homeless fall in a state of depression. I believe that at some point of their lives all homeless must of had possessions and may have taken for granted; however, life does have unexpected turns that brought them to their current situation.…
