Homelessness: Rates, Causes, Conflicts and Solutions
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the rates, causes, conflicts and possible solutions to homelessness in America. The issue of homelessness within the United States has been studied from many different perspectives. From one perspective, homelessness is seen as a very serious problem which must be overcome from a national initiative to combat poverty and create affordable housing. Studies over the past three decades have tried to determine the main causes of homelessness in America and what solutions can be used to decrease the number of homeless people in the country. From another perspective, urban planners, politicians and those within the justice system often deal with homelessness as a problem which must be removed to accomplish urban renewal projects and many policies towards the homeless have actually become “increasingly punitive, ranging from Welfare reform (effectively reducing program funding and changing the eligibility requirements) to NIMBY (not-in-my-back-yard) tactics such as anti-camping, anti-panhandling, and zoning ordinances created to remove homeless populations and facilities from specific locations”.

Hunger In Philadelphia: Children And Related Health Issues
[ send me this paper ]
19 pages in length. Hunger is not a new social ill; rather, the quest for – and often short supply of – food has caused entire populations to perish, compelled otherwise upstanding citizens to steal and continues to be responsible for the suffering of untold numbers of people in contemporary society. While much of the Western world has socially, politically and economically progressed by way of industrialism and the technological revolution, a certain segment of the population has failed to reap any benefit from such evolution, still facing each day without the barest nutritional necessities to sustain its meager existence in an otherwise thriving society. Philadelphia mirrors much the same hunger issues as other American cities, however, the primary component of age sets this metropolitan area apart from its national counterparts and reflects the vicious cycle that perpetuates childhood hunger. Bibliography lists 16 sources.
