Running Head: Homelessness Homelessness in Vancouver Article Summary In an attempt to find an article regarding Vancouver’s downtown Eastside homeless population, I found many articles that never address the issue of homelessness in itself. Instead I found an article that called the homeless population a colourful community filled with love for one another (Megaphone Canada). I found articles that explained how turning some of Vancouver’s old dilapidated motels, in which the poor and homeless use regularly into so called affordable housing will simply abolish homelessness altogether by displacing these people. After much frustration I came upon a CTV.ca news cast that sought to teach viewers about who the people are that live
Tera January English 101 Professor Howell Assignment 2 – Final Draft 6 July 2013 Summary for Lubrano’s “The Shock of Education: How College Corrupts” In Alfred Lubrano's essay "The Shock of Education: How College Corrupts" he explains the differences and difficulties of what individuals can go through while attending college. When deciding to go to college you are making one major change that an individual from a working class family can make in their life. Lubrano makes a vital point that as children grow and move on from their parents traditions they lose their family support system due to the fact the once the student gets to campus they will run into multiple different types of environments and will also have no time to chit chat due to being over worked by class assignments. Throughout the essay Lubrano explains that by attending college, the child from a working class family defies the lower income stereotype; he/she is excluding the life of their parents and choosing a different life to live. He also examines other areas that would have an effect on the differences between middle class and working class students.
What other stressors should be included? No it hasn’t but I could imagine college student that attend school on campus as a freshmen dealing with being away from home for the first time and finding less parental support, most students face social stress. As far as other stresses there are many miscellaneous stresses that often come from college life. From evalurating many of our children in my church watch them grown up, go to college and soon two or three months later return home. Why?
With that being said, the homeless people who choose not to work will always have food. We don’t have to feel too bad about homeless people because in a way we are helping. Your mind is thinking that I should at least help any ways or I can’t just say no to this poor person. Well you can but your right we have to help as much as we can. This comes to my solution to help homelessness.
Season 4 of the telvision program of the Wire explains why public education is such a crucial but frequently (and frustratingly) ignored aspect of our urban society. In the beginning of the season, the show allows us to grow close to a group of four young boys living in West Baltimore. We have hope that they'll be able to thrive as the blossom into adulthood. By the end of the season, the show crushes these hopes by juxtapositioning several stark, powerful images; a closed school full of dead bodies (themselves, pulled from vacant houses, linking crime directly to a lack of funding towards education and general economic poverty). And a recently elected mayor decides to favor his personal political ambition over the needs of the school district,
Asking complete strangers for money is very hard for most individuals. When someone becomes starving, it becomes easier to ask individuals for money. The begging almost becomes a last resort at ensuring the panhandler that they won’t die from starvation one more day. We cannot stop earthquakes, we cannot prevent droughts, and we cannot prevent all conflict, but when we know where the hungry, the homeless and the sick exist, then we can help. When walking down the street in big cities, you might see a panhandler begging for money.
I was not surprised, but very disappointed when I received notification of my Academic Probation. I met with the Dean and explained the situation to him as well. My first year at the University of Richmond proved to be a very difficult experience for me and my grades suffered as a result. I am certainly not attempting to make excuses for my poor academic performance, but would like to explain the circumstances. As a freshman, I understood that the rigors of taking 18hrs credit hours of class work would be challenging.
Not the most appealing contraption, but nonetheless effective. As I was about finished building my contraption I then reflected on what I said out loud earlier. “Why am I at college anyways”? I thought for a few minutes as I looked around at the damp ground. The sound of college kids made me look up and see how worried they were running to class.
I think building tiny house communities for homeless peoples in Portland is relevant because if someone were to just walk down Southwest 6th Ave, they would see people sleeping or sitting on the cement in plain view of you downtrodden and solemn as you walk down the sidewalk. I experienced last fall term here on campus. I had to go to Union Way and a few other places for an Arch 120 assignment when I saw how these people were. I am sure that I’m not the only citizen in Portland that has felt this way. I could gain support from Ibrahim Mubarak.
Some people, however, fall down on their luck and end up living in shelters or on the streets. Don't be afraid to approach a homeless person on the street and talk with them for a few minutes, or visit with them in a shelter and ask them about their life.They have their right too to interact with others too. In Malaysia the problem of Homeless person is not as worse as the other country . Many NGO in Malaysia has involved in the mission of saving those homeless person such as Reach Out Volunteer . We can solve these problem by providing those homeless people with a small with a small room as the government can’t afford to build big house just to save those homeless people .
