Do You Feel Homelessness in America Is a Pressing Issue? Are Americans Too Jaded to Help?
Question by Jess: Do you feel homelessness in America is a pressing issue? Are Americans too jaded to help?
I’m curious as to how the public at large feels about the homeless. It seems, in general, that people can’t be bothered to even face that fact that they exist, let alone offer some small bit of help. They’ve, in a way, been completely dehumanized. Is it easier to say ” get a job” than to offer whatever can be spared? Is the general dismissive reaction of the public at large to the homeless a fear of being conned? A fear that their hard earned cash will be spent by the “bum” on drugs or booze or for some other ill-gotten aim? Does anyone take the time to wonder what it would be like to be homeless, or how the person came to find themselves without shelter, food, clothing, sympathy? Does compassion have a role at all? Quite curious. Thank you for taking the time to answer.
