In modern America, there are many issues facing the country like ISIS and the possible threat of North Korea. No issue hits as hard, however, as the problem of homelessness. Meanwhile, all the way back in the thirteenth century, the evolution of agriculture has spawned a new class of medieval peasants, known as serfs; farmers bound to the land of their lords. Many people think that thanks to the multitude of programs to help them, that homeless live somewhat ok lives, the only difference being…

In 2013, 1.6 million children were homeless or had experienced homelessness in the United States. Children are the future. When children are homeless, they do not get to experience a good education. If children lack knowledge, then what does that mean about the future of America? We need to give these children and all children the education, housing, and safety they deserve.

Communication plays a large role in the merging of two cultures. Pichler acknowledges the issues that could arise when she says, “There could be language issues, financial issues, and they might not be able to get their universities to send them documentation” (Pichler, 2015 pg.1). There may be some language barriers but for the most part, in this situation language will not be a substantial barrier because of the exposure to English that Syria has. For those who have not learnt English they…

Service never really meant much to me until a couple of years ago. I remember the exact moment I knew that I had a duty to help homeless people in December of 2013. I was driving with my friends in down town Salt Lake on our way home from a Christmas party. It was about 2 in the morning and it was absolutely freezing outside. I was joking, singing, and having a great time with my other three friends in the car. We were stopped at a red light, and that is when I noticed a homeless man sleeping on…

Hiss states that Grand Central is ever-changing: These days, though, there are much sadder sights in the concourse than there used to be: In the mid-1980s, Grand Central became a principal hangout for large numbers of homeless people, as well as for some of those who prey on the homeless.

Society and culture generally demand a hierarchy, a likely result of our animalistic origins of predator…

Jennifer is a blithe and free little woman who has been notable in a bakeshop in Flushing for a quarter of a year. She stands restlessly among customers in a crevice between two small shops. Once in a while she trudges up and down Main Street seeking attention, even something as little as a smile from someone else. She sometimes makes eerie sounds, and ends up scaring people off, making it difficult for her to get her point across. As people walk away from her, she begins to wail her arms up in…

Mission Outreach Project: The experience at Mission outreach project was incredible. Because I thought that kind of places is only for homeless, I was surprised that some well-dressed seniors, who didn't look like homeless, were also there. It is very nice that volunteer workers there not only provide those people food and clothes but also are providing them a place to socialize with others. I wish we could have had time to talk to some of them. I am not sure they changed the website address,…

This story impressed me a lot,not just because it shows a homeless Indian’s life that I never noticed before,it also shows how Jackson’s emotion changed in the following twenty-four hours.The starting part of this story illustrated the background and living situation about Jackson,one of the Indians who lived in Seattle.He is homeless,poor and maybe an alcoholist, but as he said,“we have dreams and families.”*And those two factors are leading the story to a depth degree. First time I read this…
