I will discuss about the “Michael and Danielle and Family” video link. This couple with 6 children was renting from a landlord that let the house go into foreclosure. They were given 2 hours to evacuate their home, and were forced to live in a hotel. Although the statistics given by Berne et al., were from 1990, even current statistics still show that approximately 900,000 homeless people each year are families. Although Michael has a job, it still wasn’t enough to keep a roof over his family.…

Have you taken a drive into Toronto lately? Homeless people seem to be at practically every street corner either panhandling, squeegeeing, or making beds over warm sidewalk grids. Is our government noticing this? The Province has a homelessness initiative; but, is it really working to help the rapidly growing homeless population in our city. The homelessness policy created by the Province of Ontario shows they have allocated an additional 42 million dollars to the homelessness prevention…

Pros And Cons Of Bringing Dogs To Work First off I agree with both stories, in support and against bringing Dogs to work. But I personaly don't think it's the best idea. In the First topic of support, their was some great reasons to bring Dogs to work.

If you are even lucky…

In “The promise”, C.Wright Mills (2016) defines the concept of sociological imagination as a “quality of mind” which allows understanding of how the intersections of biography and history shape individual lives. Mills recognizes that most people encounter a feeling of being trapped since their perception of the world is largely shaped by their social milieu. He further states that people are therefore unaware of the relationship between their personal circumstances and the broader social and…

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…

I remember the day when I had the thought that would from that day on never fail to amaze me. I remember walking down Michigan Avenue in Chicago with the smell of Garrett Popcorn and sewage roaming the air. I remember seeing businessmen and business women making their way to work rolling their briefcases down the street. I remember the massive amount of tourists, including myself, stopping every five feet to take pictures of the beautiful sights of the city. I remember thinking to myself, “Why…

Also, the relationship between addiction and homelessness are complicate and controversial. However, habituated drugs and alcohol obsession could give chance too many people can increase the risk of homelessness (Homelessness in America - National Coalition for the Homeless, n.d). Homeless problem is far away in developing countries. In Europe alone, there are three million people on the streets. Australia and Canada, hundreds of thousands of people are homeless. Of course, the problem is worse…
