It turns out that people not only careless, but also rude and label homeless as “undesirable” or even “trash”. “Untouchables” shows how homeless people survive while others are trying to get rid of them or evict from the streets. There are many thick and gruesome examples try to play with the guilt of people. In addition, they do not have any compassion because they do not understand what the homeless people are going through. "Attitudes towards the homeless have gone from indifference to pitying to hatred," says Kozol.
This never helps the poor look like normal people because the society starts hating them. There are always stories covered about the poor which sometimes even trick me. (need some evidence...to be researched........) Sometimes the media makes the poor look really good. A great example is Ted Williams who was homeless, a drug addict and an alcoholic but had a
The American blacks were victims of racism, segregation, discrimination and furthermore poverty in their community. They were neglected by the government. Nonetheless, they were neglected by fought for their rights and equality. The black people in America had their own separate communities away from the whites, because they were neglected by white people and the government. For instant they couldn’t vote in their country.
Some will give them money and some will act as if they do not see or even hear them. The reason why people do that is physiological. They do not believe that these people are homeless and really need the money for food and such. They think that people who appear to be homeless or those on the street asking for handouts are just going to use the money for drugs and alcohol. In addition, some people do give them money because they think it’s the right thing to do.
Laborers often had no way to keep themselves clean, which was worsened by the factories’ already dirty environment. The men and women were not encouraged to keep clean either, and were very dirty and greasy, walking in the factory barefoot, and even eating lunch there (A Working Day in a Manchester Cotton Mill 155). This led to an unhygienic workplace that was not only unpleasant to laborers, but also brought the opportunity for disease and sickness to
Also, when Jeremiah is working in the supermarket, throwing the food away goes against his values and for American people that’s normal. The concept of work for Sudanese people is also different form Americans. When Paul is working for the fabric, he works as much as he can and join the parts as fast as he can but his colleagues, tell him to slow down and to work slower. Also, in Sudanese culture, it is very different the concept of family. The roll of the woman is very different and the refugees are very surprised that Carrie is an independent woman that works for its own and doesn’t have a husband because in their culture, the man (also called Chief) is the one who maintain and protect a family.
The undeserving are people who don’t want to work and often it is assumed that all able-bodied unemployed people fit into that category. The undeserving such as vagrants and unmarried mothers were treated harshly. The underserving poor were those who were poor because of laziness or personal problem like drunkenness. . But the undeserving poor had earned their poverty not only by refusing to work, or to work hard enough, but also by rejecting the middle-class model.
They are merely concerned with the inconsistency that Meursault’s actions pose to the social norm. Due to his dissimilar behaviors, Meursault is ostracized an unanimously regarded as ‘the outsider’. The society and its members condemn him of his apathy at his mother’s death, but more essentially of the threat he poses to their so-called uniformity. If Meursault had shown the
Theses arte things like food, water and shelter. Sweatshops are internationally recognised as a poor place and area of work, due to the unethical treatment of their employees and the unjust benefits they receive; they have no benefits. Hiring children at young ages and even going a step further and buying children off of parents who are willingly to sell them to work for money to feed them selves. This is happens not that often but when it
Poverty is a major issue that many people ignore. I have also ignored this issue by turning away from the homeless, when I have witnessed someone begging for money. I have contributed to the problem by ignoring the homeless. Although this is an act of selfishness, it is also evil because I could have easily given my spare change. Except my poor judgment was not to give the homeless change because I was either scared or thought the money would not be put into good use.
