Begging the question

Imagine feeling lost and not knowing what to do or where to go. Spending each night trying to find a bench, which you call your bed. As you wake up outside to the noises of nature each morning. Having to go to a public places to clean yourself up. When you are hungry, you often beg people for change, food, or you just search the nearest garbage can. Some just sit in the city hoping someone will notice you and want to help out while others decline the offer of help. There are several different…

Imagine waking up every morning to the same stressful questionings: will I eat today? Where will I sleep tonight? When will I be put out of my misery? Throughout my quest in Montreal last Saturday, November 26th 2016, I was lucky enough to meet Nicole Saint-Coeur, sitting outside of Old Brewery Mission. The conversation we had led me to reflect on her personal story and homelessness as a social issue, the process and reliability of the interview, which are all subjects I will explore in this…

passing by in cars. Panhandlers begging people for money on the side of the road does not solve any problems. They are not solving the problem that they are homeless or the problem that they do not contribute anything positive to society. They do not help themselves by taking money out of people’s pockets to help themselves. How does panhandling help people who are homeless? Panhandling is more than likely the only form of income for most people who are begging for donations. If they had other…

I had no idea what homelessness and panhandling was until I read these articles. The article on “Reality Check on Panhandling” correlate to the book, through Nathaniel is character as a homeless panhandler. Nathaniel did not have a place to live and lived outside on the street on Skid Row. The homeless stand outside in the rain, cold, and hot sun. Most of these homeless people are sick and with mental illness. They are alcoholics and drug addicts who sometimes don’t want treatment. There are…

In a recent event where a man who meant no harm, and was warm hearted, decided to help homeless people and allow them to sleep in his basement till morning because they had nowhere to sleep and it was below 15 degrees out. Then out of nowhere, the city he lives in telling him to shut down what he is doing, they said it was allowed and that they have other places throughout the city that homeless people can go. But I disagree with the fact that he shouldn’t be able to do this. I mean, if you…

Panhandling is a way for less fortunate people to get money by asking others in the community. Panhandlers usually stand on the sides of roads in busy places, such as an intersection, or public centers. Panhandling allows the mentally ill, homeless, and poor to get money and stay afloat in our society. The main argument against is whether or not those people are using the money they're getting to help their situation, or if they using it to feul bad habits such as drug and alcohol use. Whether…

Begging is the practice of asking others for a favour, normally money, with no expectation of repayment. Those who are beg are generally homeless and are found in public areas like parks and busy shopping centres, and asking for usually money, but it may also be food or drink. Begging is not optional for some people, living on the streets, not having a permanent place to sleep, no reliable source of income, this is the only way that they can provide for themselves. Those who beg aren’t able to…

first begins inquiring around Book V as Raphael enters the scene. Raphael warns Adam “Your bodies may at last turn all to spirit…If ye be found obedient and retain/Unalterably firm his love entire/Whose progeny you are” (Milton, 126). Adam thus questions “What meant that caution joined, ‘If ye be found/Obedient…’?” (126). Is the statement of Raphael not clear enough? Why does Adam feel the need to define obedience? Is he simply curious, or is he trying to acquire the…

Ever since you were little you had a ravenous appetite for history. Burying your nose in any book you could find. Especially ones about ancient civilizations. Your Aunt Rebecca would take you to any and every museum she could. She shared you vast love for history. And was so happy someone else in the family was as fanatical about history as she was. Christmas and birthdays you received a new book. Your favorite was the one she bought you on Ancient Egypt. That book became a staple in your…

Meeting My Professors At the begging of every college students career they get the same pice of advice at one point or another. Meet with your professors. This year I did just that. I emailed every one of my professors asking them if there was a time that we could meet to discuss what I can do to succeed in their class. Most of them gave the same advice but they were all different in how they went about it. The first meeting I had was with my Foundations Art Studio professor. Her name is Ms…
