Homelessness in America
A major issue in America right now is that we have so many homeless people. They are blocking doorways and walkways, begging for spare change. America is supposed to be one of the richest countries in the world, yet there are so many people out there with not even a cent to their name. What should we do about it? First, we have to house them. We should send all of the homeless people to landfills. There they will be able to gather cardboard boxes and any other necessary materials to build a home. This way, they will have their own home and not have to pay taxes on it, but they will have to build it themselves. This will also solve the issue of unemployment. This way, they can gather any recyclable materials from the landfills and aid in helping the environment. This is helpful because they will have somewhere to live and work. Second, if we send them to landfills they will not go hungry. On average, Americans throw about 34 million tons of food away each year. This way, other Americans can feel charitable when they throw food into their garbage, knowing that it will be going to a homeless person early after. With that, the homeless will have plenty of food to eat. Thirdly, competition would be encouraged. Each person will be searching for the best piece of cardboard to add to their luxurious homes. If any problems come about, it would be very helpful, in that we would have one less homeless person to worry about.
To help prevent revelution, the most excellent homeless recyclers will be promoted to officers who will make sure the other workers are doing their jobs correctly and in a timely fashion. Providing any encouragement necessary, be it in the form of a nice pat on the back or a severe beating. The officers will be provided with the highest grade materials for their homes and the best discarded meals as payment for their duties. In this way, we will have housed, fed, and employed all of the homeless.

    In the novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, makes use of satire to undermine the morals and beliefs that are upheld in modern people. By underscoring the follies of everyday people, he reveals the real, sycophantic ways of people, where morals and beliefs are only upheld if the majority believes it also. The fear that people have of being ostracized hinders them to change and defy the majority.…

    On August 16th, 2015, John Oliver’s news show on HBO, Last Week Tonight, shed a cutting light on religious ministers who devote the majority of the ministry through television broadcasting. Mainly Christian, these ministers, known as “Televangelists”, and can be either official or self-proclaimed ministers that enlist their followers into “seed faith”. Defining this term, Televangelist Rick Warren explains the principal of “seed faith”, or “sowing and reaping” as sending money to his church -“planting the seed”- whenever you might have or ask for a need from God. Given time you will “harvest” the benefits and gain what you originally asked for with blessings (Warren). Oliver, however, has a different view about such prosperity gospels and made…

    Our inspiration for this experiment came from a lecture in class about the Los Angeles council agreeing that there should be a law limiting homeless people’s belongings to what can fit in a trash bin. This would force the homeless people to throw away large portions of their belongings to benefit the city from not having “trash” on the streets. According to the L.A. times, the legislation California believes that this law will “limit storage on sidewalks, parkways, and alleys citywide to what homeless people can fit in a 60-gallon container, about the size of a city recycling or trash bin”. The idea of controlling what people can and cannot have is outrageous. The executive director of the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty in Washington…

    There is no reason such dirty people should be a part of what seems to be a clean society. The homeless are bringing down the look of this society. The look they are giving our environment is a poor, dirty, uninviting look. As a proposal, they should be forced to work extra hard so the higher class of society don’t have to work extremely hard. After all the homeless is taking up all the space, so they might as well do all the dirty work that no one has an interest in doing, to get it over with. Maybe that will make them seem like a less of a burden. If that doesn’t work we can just ship them off to an island for the homeless so we don’t have to worry about them anymore. But it would make sense to put these people in some type of imprisonment too. So that’ll clean up the streets as well. With help from these proposals there should be no reason for such terrible dirty people to continue to be a part of our society. Once the homeless is gone, the city will become inviting, and appealing to visitors, might even make some want to stay.…

    People always talk about the innocent lives of human beings and animals being killed/diseased/injured while everybody seems blinded towards fruits, vegetables, and plants when the same things happen to them! The lives of these harmless organisms are never considered while we chow down on salads and apples! The lives of the innocent must be protected!|The solution is simple, banning the consumption and destruction of all vegetables, fruits, and plants. This means that some forms of medicine will be eliminated due to some of the chemicals being extracted from plants but, rest assured that this sacrifice will not go out in vein due to plant-life being saved! Whenever a human, animal, or insect is caught even plucking an apple off of its own home, they will be punished by death, pesticide, or insecticide respectively. There will be monthly searches in everyone’s house in order to ensure that the plants are getting the necessary water, sunlight, and nutrition that they need. If you fail to keep your plants alive, death will be the ultimate punishment. I know that a lot of needed nutrition comes from these precious life forms so; I have created a monopoly on legal, synthetic fruits, vegetables, and even plants! |1.…

    There are hundreds of homeless people out on the streets of the large cities in this great nation. With low unemployment rate and new jobs being created every day, people are starting to ask why there are still homeless people in the alleys and on the sidewalks of this country. This seems to be a haunting problem even though it would be so incredibly easy for homeless people to get a job. The general requirements for applying for and keeping a job are to have nice clothes to make a decent impression, a home address and some way to be reached in tight situations. That is it!…

    Dorothy Day once said, “What we would like to do is change the world-make it a little simpler for people to feed, clothe, and shelter themselves as God intended for them to do”; as people living in the United States where homeless can be seen on nearly every street corner, we should take a stand against this issue and do something. Just think if, in 100 years, all American citizens have a desire to help aid in some way the issue of homelessness in America.…

    First of all, we can start by building houses that more people can afford. On the other hand, we also can make wages higher in the United States but that only causes inflation and other problems for more than just the homeless. But in my opinion to solve this problem once and for all we can just not be stupid with our money. Most people that are one the streets were stupid with their money and caused them to go into debt and get their house foreclosed on making them homeless.…

    As a society, we need to find solutions to the ever-growing homeless situation in our country. The homeless rate in the United States is increasing; homeless shelters are rapidly filling up causing them to turn people away. By creating lower income housing while at the same time, creating a work program to help the homeless get back on their feet will help to decrease the rate. Although some of the homeless do not want help, they are happy with the lifestyle they live. I heard someone say once that the homeless that do not want any help are what he calls home free instead of homeless. Whether it is drugs or alcohol, these people do not normally go to the homeless shelters.…
