The definition of poverty is the state or condition of having little or no money, goods, or means of support; condition of being poor. The reason poverty is an issue is because it affects society as a whole. One of the reasons it affects society is because if you live in poverty then there is a big chance you may be homeless. If you are homeless and unemployed you may resort to crime in order to survive. Which if you are homeless with no job at all this would lead to an increase in crime for…

When thinking about homelessness, the elderly people issue doesn’t immediately come to our mind. Homeless elders, although increasing in numbers, continue to be a forgotten population. The number of elderly adults who have become homeless has increased around the county. An example of this increase has occurred in Massachusetts, where from 1999 to 2002, the number of people over 55 using shelters increased by 60% (HEARTH, 2007). The increased homelessness among elderly persons is largely the…

Lear’s madness makes him metaphorically blind since he interprets love and affection in accordance to vanity. Lear’s first fatal mistake revolves around the banishment of Cordelia. When Cordelia expresses that she is devoted to her father, and that she loves him like a daughter should, Lear concludes that Cordelia’s love is empty in comparison to Regan and Goneril’s false love. Cordelia is completely honest and brushes off the idea of lying about her love for him, as Goneril and Regan did…

Poverty is the state or condition of having little or no money to support a single person or a family ("The Definition of Poverty." Dictionary.com. N.p., n.d. Web. 11 Dec. 2016). In our world we see poverty everywhere: in books, movies, television, even on the streets. As a class we read Catcher in the Rye and the novel is about a young man named Holden. He doesn’t struggle for the need of money but struggles socially. In real life, poverty is seen virtually everywhere. Going to Sacred Heart…

"Be Kind; Everyone You Meet is Fighting a Hard Battle." It’s a saying we all have known and heard and as cliché as it may be, it’s something I think we all should be doing. Something that has seemingly become less of a thing now a day. Being kind, loving your fellow man, with so much death and murder in the world, it’s easy to look at the world we live in now as hopeless. We always have a tendency of letting the bad outweigh the good. News telecasts usually open with the bad news and end with…

Seeing people affected by stereotypes, yet not knowing how it is affecting society. The first thought is the harm caused by the stereotype. Who is being put down, or why do stereotypes hurt? One thing that many have looked over, is the fact that everything has two sides to the same coin. You can see the head of the coin as broad as day, but the tail side can be hidden in the shadow. These ideas on stereotypes have reached Dinuba High School and the students attending it. Most times on the high…

Poverty is everywhere. Wherever you turn, you can see people fighting over shiny things that they think they could sell or money they find on the road or on the ground. If you really do listen, you can only hear the distress of people around you. What can we do to stop poverty and its struggles? Problem: Poverty affected people are in danger. Since they don’t have anything that they need to survive, like food and clean water, and clothes, some of them just die on the street. For instance, most…

I believe that relocating the homeless people to a homeless shelter is a good idea. I believe that moving the homeless is a good idea because there will be many cameras broadcasting this event on live television in the city of San Francisco,and those specific people who are going to be watching the Super Bowl event live from their TV do not want to see random homeless people in the streets or by a bus stop sleeping.In the article by Alison Vekshin, ”San Francisco nudges homeless away from the…

What Home Really Means. Homelessness has always been a plague upon humanity. The homeless are seen as disgusting and pitiful, lesser beings of society. In many tourist traps, the homeless are oppressed by the police; no matter where the homeless go they receive mounds of tickets for living their lives (Nagourney). By 2014, many cities had made it a crime to sit on the sidewalk (Nagourney). Some of these people do not want to be homeless, but they have no choice in the matter. Oppressing the…
