The problem of homelessness
Homelessness is the big problem in Unite State. It’s like a group that people are living in the street. People become homeless for many kinds of reason although sometimes not their willing to be. Not only in the United States, but also in other countries had the same problem. So, homelessness is international problems. Also, a country has a lot homeless, it will affect the children. Children are the hope of the country, if the children cannot grow up normally, the country cannot be better even decline. Due to some misconceptions of people make above of the effects came out, so many homeless can’t be gotten supports and helps by people and government.
The misconception for the homeless effect deeply in U.S. This is the main point that people don’t care the homeless any more. By researching, there are the common misconceptions about the homeless. For example, almost all homeless people have major mental health problems. Obviously, the stereotype is not true. Because people have misconceptions about homeless people. People will keep away from homeless people that avoid being hurt. So, most homeless people can’t accept any health care and support. As a result, most homeless people impossible to be healed. By the way, when I met a homeless person who was talking to me, I would feel scary also. Because they look dirty, I was afraid that they would hurt me. In general, I’ll keep away from them. However, the homeless people are living street, that’s mean can’t live normally. They are dirty because they don’t have chance to clean themselves rather than lazy. I have once had these beliefs before I didn’t realize what the truth was. Sometimes the stereotypes are harmful for the homeless. For instance, many people suppose they are lazy. For various reasons, even the homeless cannot like a normal, much less to find a job. Otherwise, they maybe not were being the homeless.
