Based on the feedback I got for my last essay. I tried to write this one in a simple manner.
Most societies has its homeless people. Some people think that the best way to help them is to give them money.
To what extent do you agree?
Homelessness has been one of the most serious social issue in todays’ society highly due to the unpredictable changeful economic and social structure. Some people believed that giving homeless people money can alleviate the situation as many governments have implemented policies responsively to support their homeless citizens with money. However, I think that is only a temporary solution which is not comprehensive enough to eradicate the entire problem.
The definition of homelessness does not necessarily align with the idea of poorness, but rather an adverse situation when someone is cruelly dispelled or abandoned by the social system. One might become homeless because of massive layoffs during the financial crisis or due to the introducing of machines in the workplace, or perhaps he or she was the victim of a dysfunctional family. Thus, it is believed that what they pragmatically need is an opportunity, an acceptance or a re-affirmation from the society rather than a sole financial support. To eradicate this strange social phenomenon and prevent this from be happening again, a sustainable scheme is required. Instead of unilaterally offering them money, governments can also provide job opportunities, career training courses and counselling service to both homeless people and people who are in need. Each of the idea interconnects and assists each another to form a more sophisticated and mature package to assist the homeless citizens, and as a result, it is more likely put the situation under control.
In conclusion, even though giving money to homeless people is the fastest way to lessen their financial burden, I concede that is not a sustainable solution to tackle the entire issue of homelessness. To eliminate the problem, a profound and comprehensive scheme to care, re-educate, and encourage the homeless citizens has to be made by the government. And this will also strengthen the social infrastructure and prevent the recursive problems.
