Why Do People Become Homeless?

Major past and current events contain such an immense amount of despair that it outweighs the hope that is left in the world. The reasons as to why that is deals with the homeless population, racism, and war. To be homeless means to have no home or permanent place of residence. It affects hundreds of thousands of people today. In the United States alone 750,000 people experience homelessness every night. There are many reasons as to why one might become homeless in a short period of time, these reasons include substance abuse, mental illnesses, poverty, domestic violence, gambling, amongst other things. In most cases, the situation with homeless people doesn’t get better because there aren’t enough places to go to for help. This is one of the many reasons why the amount of people who have just given up on the chances that the world will become a better place increases daily.
Racism has been an on-going problem for hundreds of years, has it gotten much better?
Just because we don’t have slavery doesn’t mean that the mentality behind it is gone. The police killed at least 102 unarmed black people in 2015, nearly twice each week. Only 10 of the 102 cases in 2015 where an unarmed black person was killed by police resulted in officer being charged with a crime, and only 2 of these deaths resulted in convictions of officers involved. Racism is not just towards African Americans, it goes much deeper than that. Muslims have also suffered through time with islamophobia. Islamophobia is defined as “dislike of or prejudice against Islam or Muslims, especially as a political force.” The insane amount of hate that goes towards Muslims daily has caused an impact mainly on the women who have been in the fight against discrimination over the years and who have been shamed for believing in what they believe
in. War is another prime example of why hopelessness increases daily around the world. The civil war in Syria with its attendant disintegration is having its predictable and malign effect. This war has been an ongoing multi-sided armed conflict in Syria in which international interventions have taken place. It started in March of 2011 and has not been put to an end yet. This shows that it is not yet time to start celebrating our accomplishments so far, but it is time to start trying to help and change the future. Iraq is now in mortal danger. The whole of the Middle East is under threat. Basically the whole world still requires thousands of years worth of work for it to be stable and safe. Many people do view history as an endless tale of despair. And sadly history has always had a way to make things worse. Despair outweighs hope
