Begging the question

My family and I decided to tour Chinatown on our trip to Chicago. After setting down at the hotel that we were staying for the night, it was time to go to Chinatown. My parents, my youngest brother, David, and I went to Chinatown. My other two brothers didn’t want to come with us, so they stayed back at the hotel. I was pretty angry at them for not spending time with the family, but can’t force them to do what I want them to. The drive to Chinatown was about 20 minutes away from the hotel. The…

In an article written by Blake Ellis, he discusses the laws that have been created to prevent people from living on the streets or begging for money. He describes what these laws aim to do by stating they, “ban homeless residents from sitting or lying down in public, loitering, sleeping in vehicles, and begging for money or food” (Ellis, July, 2014). As of two years ago, there were a total of 187 cities implementing such laws into their communities. Such arguments go hand…

Mrs Vadnie Marlene Sevlon Analytical essay of Mrs Vadnie Marlene Sevlon by Jackie Kay Today, living in the city can be a lonely affair for many people. To combat this, some use their imagination to envisage the life they could have had. But, what happens when you cannot separate fact from fancy? This is the problem Jakie Kay deals with in her short story “Mrs Vadnie Marlene Sevlon,” which deals with a middle-aged woman, whose quiet life is far from what she envisages. The short story takes…

There are many different kinds of specialized courts ranging from drug courts, domestic violence courts, homeless courts, and mental health courts. Homeless courts were created only for the homeless, these courts differ from other courts. Homeless courts are different because they are used to resolving unsettled misdemeanor warrants as opposed to processing new criminal offenses.

Some people discriminate on the all homeless people in the world. Hell even I do sometimes. The one thing we don't know though is what they do when we are not around to see. They have the ability to go anywhere and do anything since they have no responsibilities. The one thing no one has ever realized is that they seem homeless but they are keeping up this show to hide their deep and dark secrets they all have hidden from the world. They were all over! The car was leaking gas everywhere! They…

result of our animalistic origins of predator and prey. Though we humans like to think of ourselves as civilized beings, there is always a patronizing quality to some behaviors. If the homeless were targets roughly thirty years ago, then it begs the question as to who are the targets now? Of course,…

I would like to attend Machik Weekend because I want to learn more on how to help my homeland. I am passionate about Tibet because of my heritage, and I want to improve the lives of my fellow Tibetans inside Tibet. I am also very passionate about social justice issues, like poverty and access to education, of which Tibet, unfortunately, has many. Going to Machik Weekend would help me gain information and ideas on how to help native Tibetans and my community in Minnesota. I remember that…

Most people walk past a homeless thinking they are lazy, dangerous, or gross. But has anyone thought about what causes, what’s the problem, and how can people help the homeless. People are not perfect, but as imperfect people are, everyone gets the option to either help or not to help the homeless. Anyone can help homeless people. Many people feel that to help the homeless is by buying homeless people a home. That can help the homeless, but a very simple way is by asking if their day is okay.…

Homeless People Panhandling Panhandling should be illegal because you can’t always trust someone on the streets. Panhandling should not be allowed because some of the homeless will eventually going to rely on us for money so they don’t have to work. Panhandlers should also be prohibited because once the homeless receive the money you have no control over what the money is spent on. Just give the homeless food or a nice smile to make them feel valued. Sometimes panhandlers take advantage of…

Every day we see a homeless person on the street. No matter the location, there is always just that one “bum”. A red light makes you do a lot of thinking; I had a general thought how homelessness has identified itself as a sincere issue in our society in this day and age while driving home from school. I remember the summer of 2010 while helping get things together to help the people in Haiti. While there appears to be no positive argument defending this act of indecency there are thousands of…
