Ethical Problems of Gambling Cierra Allen SOC 120 Ethics and Social Responsibility Prof. Linda Atkinson April 9, 2010 Some people consider gambling to be a big problem financially and emotionally while others that have the gambling problem think it is just something to do or just a hobby. Gambling to me is as much of a problem as alcoholism and drug addiction. Gambling is something that cannot be looked over nor can it be stopped without any problems. There are many different ways to gamble, some people like to go to casinos, others like to bet on football, basketball, or baseball games; plenty gamble online, some shoot dice or play cards in the privacy of their own homes. Then you have some that are such big gamblers that they bet their homes, cars and empty their bank accounts to feed the addiction that they have.
Gambling addiction, also known as compulsive gambling, has become a big issue in today’s society. It can vary from making a simple bet of a dollar with a friend to going to the casinos and putting hundreds to thousands of dollars into the machines to play “games”. While most people are at it for fun, there are people that do it because they think they need to (problem gambling). These people will do anything they can in order to gamble, which can lead to negative consequences for him/herself and the community. As of now, there are only two states that do not allow any type of gambling.
These are hardworking individuals who cannot afford healthcare insurance. These are individuals who may have lost their coverage at work or have pre-existing conditions that prevent them from obtaining insurance. These are parents who are “spending too many sleepless nights worrying about their kids getting sick and how they'll pay for needed healthcare” (Miller 4). These individuals sit up and night and wonder how anyone “in this wealthy country should have to make those kinds of decisions. Too many Americans are forced into bankruptcy due to high out-of-pocket medical care expenses” (Miller 3).
A substantial percentage of the U.S. homeless population are individuals who are chronically unemployed or have difficulty managing their lives effectively due to prolonged and severe drug and/or alcohol abuse. Substance abuse can cause homelessness from behavioral patterns associated with addiction that alienate an addicted individual's family and friends who could otherwise provide support during difficult economic times.Major reasons and causes for homelessness as documented by many reports and studies include: Poverty, caused by many factors including unemployment/underemployment. Lack of accessible health care. People who have some kind of chronic and weakening disease but cannot get health care either because they don't have money to afford it or because they are simply too weak to go and work every day.The basic problem of homelessness is the need for personal shelter, warmth and safety.

Not only does the person(s) under attack financially suffer, but the city and community loose too. Vandalism which can lead to larger group violence can cost the city substantially in police, fire department, and in some cases hospital/doctor fees (justice.org/hatecrime). The community is left with eyesores like dilapidated buildings or homes due to the destruction. Either money is spent to repair or demolition these structures or the value to the surrounding properties decline.

These kind of things happen and can cripple a team for years leaving the owners unable to sign new players because they have millions tied up in an injured player. Owners also asked for a lowering of all rookie contracts. Owners feel that they are at a disadvantage when they have to pay a first year player a ridiculous amount of money without actually knowing what type of the performance the player will give on the N.B.A level.

According surveys, I think high unemployment rate and low employment rate, mental illness and domestic violence can cause people becoming homeless in America. Poverty is closely linked to homeless. Poverty due to high employment rate and low employment rate can trap individuals and can lead to homelessness. Although the United States is recovering from the worst financial crisis in 2008 since the Great Depression, there are still many homeless people suffering from the crisis.

An overwhelming amount of people with mental and psychosocial disabilities are living in poverty, poor physical health, and are impacted by human rights violations. Mental health issues cannot be considered in isolation from other areas of development, such as education, employment, emergency responses and human rights capacity building. People with mental and psychosocial disabilities is an open to attack group as a result of the way they are treated by society. They are subjected to a sign of social unacceptability and discrimination on a daily basis, and they experience extremely high rates of physical and sexual victimization.
