Synopsis: Political analysts feel that the Australian government has neglected asylums seekers by sending them to Papua New Guinea, Asylum seekers must get sick of feeling like they’re being passed around! The move by the Australian government to send illegal refugees or people seeking asylum from Australia to Papua New Guinea is one that I cannot support as a journalist and wish to reach out to the people. We need to speak in one voice and save the asylum seekers from this unkind treatment. Our government insists that these people be sent to PNG for assessment and resettlement to reduce the number of refugees in Australia.

Living without a home or the right nutritious food can be very tough, especially for those who have no other choice. Even though this is seen as a rampant social problem, ...

Homelessness in America is a very complex socioeconomic problem that more than often takes various forms. This varies from your average American sleeping either on bench or in parks to that middle class family who sleep in their car. The most interesting aspect however about homelessness is the fact that Americans who are predisposed to the condition are never taken into consideration by either policy makers or the society at large and therefore are commonly referred to as the “invincible homeless.” This implies that the main objective in dealing with homelessness in America should be preventing more ...

Introduction

Homelessness is a substantial and systemic problem, as it provides people with the fewest resources even less of a chance to better themselves and escape the cycle of poverty. Homeless youth, in particular, face particular problems, being offered substantially fewer chances to succeed compared to other youth of the same age who are not homeless. There are many reasons for youth to become homeless; in many cases, homeless children have homeless parents, or have been tied up in the system without a concrete family structure (e.g. orphans). One substantial phenomenon is the homeless LGBT child; despite the many social advances ...

Part one

‘A Modest Proposal’ by Jonathan Swift is about how to solve the issue of hunger. Jonathan begins by describing people who are living in the streets. The streets are filled with starving beggars. Jonathan Swift uses ethos, pathos and logos to make a strong case for his suggestion of using babies as a source of food. He does establish his credibility, and he shows the readers his logic throughout his proposal. He does back up all the points raised in the proposal with hard evidence and facts. He does show how the consumption of infants would support everyone.

Pathos refers to ...

Home is a Beautiful Word, a contemporary verbatim-theatre play, based on over five hundred interviews with Victorians conducted by playwright and renown journalist Joel Bernbaum. It certainly gave me food for thought as it reflected on a very pressing issue. In his interview to CBC Radio, Joel Bernbaum said that art can help us understand ourselves and the world around us. He is absolutely right. What this play did to me was made me open my eyes and realize that no matter how diverse our community is, we still have some things to work on together. Also, ignoring certain issues, such as ...

Introduction

Texas is one of the largest states in the United States of America with a population estimated to be over twenty four million. Although the state has had tremendous economic growth in terms of industries, infrastructure and urban expansion, the state has had a less auspicious history due to high poverty levels among its citizens. Over the years the number of citizens living beneath the federal poverty line has drastically increased. This has been occasioned by continued lack of employment.

In the past few years, price properties all over the world have been skyrocketing. This is the same with the Eastern Arabia region.

Increased revenues from foreign investments and oil has led to an increased demand for housing. This is further enhanced by the fact that housing laws are more liberal, little to no tax in the housing tax and very easy and non-stringent home financing. In this paper I will explore the ...

Response to Amy’s original forum post

Amy makes the case that owing to his vast knowledge gained from reading articles and newspapers, the question about foreclosure and summary judgment cannot be canvassed without exploring the housing crisis. The housing crisis is what has precipitated foreclosures and consequently raised the issue of summary judgment.

It is submitted that the housing crisis or “bubble” in the United States began in the year 2007 after the prices of houses went through the roof. The United States recession of 2007-2009 had the effect of causing the housing market to crash. The ...

Kenneth Cole is well knows not only for his successful business but also for his numerous social advertisements.

The chapter “Urban Facts and Fallacies” by Thomas Sowell is definitely an interesting read compelling reader to reflect on every fact stated by the author.

Dividing the period of analysis in three periods i.e 1981-1991, 1992-1997, 1998-2011 we could easily interpret the actual trend in the bond ratings by Standard and Poors. 1981-1991: This was the period of slow economic growth and as a result, once could witness that till 1991, number of bonds downgraded had exceeded the number of bonds upgraded. 1992-1997: This was the time of blue chip stocks and when US economy was introduced to the boom of technology. As a result, with the rejuniveation of US economy, the number of bonds upgraded exceeded the number of bonds being downgraded. ...

Grounding connection design

The two most important impacts of correct grounding layout are the following. - The circuit has a zero voltage reference point, the ground. (Green, 2014, para. 1) - The ground is critical for safety. If a heater’s insulation wears out, then touching the metal of the heater gives a shock unless the heater has been grounded. The metal heater housing is where the conductor is installed. The conductor is then connected to a ground. The ground may be in the building or far away from the location of the heater. The ground can be a panel or an electrical outlet. ( ...

ENTHOGRAPHY

Ethnography in the local area would entail a close look at the lives of homeless people in the vicinity. This is because homeless people are a part of society that everyone seems to have forgotten about. Nothing is done as far as their plight is concerned and they are met with resentment from other members of society who are relatively better off that they are. In order to be successful working with the local community leaders would be paramount. This is because the local community leaders are very fluent as far as the plight of the homeless people within the community ...

Government?

Introduction Homelessness is a problem in Canada with roots long in the past and has become much more dramatic during the 1990s. Although it tied up the Canadian government, pushing for effective measures at a much later period than other countries, such as Australia, the US and the UK, it still has a long way to go before viable solutions are found. The Canadian response to homelessness was intense; however, without ever managing to cope effectively with the increasing poverty, or provide people with affordable housing. Without a permanent cross-country solution, we cannot consider any actual progress is made. Therefore, the Canadian ...

Improving Housing Quality in Canada to Improve Health

Along with health- and welfare-related rights, the right to housing is one of crucial human rights. Thus homelessness represents an important human rights and social concern. According to the definition by the UN Economic Commission for Europe Conference of European Statisticians, homelessness can be viewed either as primary state (rooflessness or the case of persons, living in the streets) or a secondary one (the case of persons with no place of usual residence, who often move between different types of temporary accommodation) (UN Economic and Social Council 3). In the US homelessness is viewed in broader terms. According to the ...

An increase in the price of housing has made housing unaffordable for poor people. As such, most of the poor people, can only afford to live in places with dilapidated housing. When the price of housing increases poor people will become more exposed to theft and burglary because the houses that match their incomes are those that are poorly structured with poor security systems. According to Logan and Molotch (2007), the limit that discriminates people on where they can live is not ethical. This is mainly because everyone should be able to live in a decent place. In any case, ...

Around one third of the homeless people are recorded to be mentally ill, and compared to the other population they have a higher prevalence in mental in illness. Many of these homeless people are victimized daily and their kind of life is quite abysmal.

This happens when they are disengaged from aftercare treatment or if they find their accommodation uncomfortable. The only way to avoid this after discharging mentally ill patients is by providing them with well coordinated ...

Article Synthesis

The disadvantaged people’s rights are defied and violated by those individuals, who think that they are powerful and noble in the society. This situation can be improved if the responsible organizations, as well as individuals, pay much attention to such critical issues affecting them.

Abstract

Homelessness in the world is significant humanity problem, which while many will acknowledge needs to be resolution, they also seemed to be unmoved with making a change. The stigmatization associated with homeless people is spread through the misinterpretations of the reasoning of how the individual arrives at their situation. This is largely a problem for the ever increasing population of homeless youth which has risen in the last several years due to the economic situation and familial factors in which self-determination and perseverance take priority. The problems that many homeless individuals face as well as youth is the lack of healthcare. ...
