America is known as a "land of many opporunites" but why is the number of homless people vastly increasing. But this is where everyone comes to get a different or better life. But why arent the homeless people getting the same opporunity as the others or are they? Bad decisions(Drug Abuse), homlessness being a burden on soceity, and unemployment are some cause and effect factors on homelessness in America. First, Marijuana and Cocaine are just two examples of drugs that are used in America. Many people choose to use drugs and are soon hooked before they know it they have lost many of their possessions: like homes, jobs, and sometimes family members. Statistics show that fifty to sixty percent of homeless people are abusing drugs daily. Due to Katrina in 2008, over two thousand people were homelss in New Orleans; many of whom seeked drugs for comfront. Many people cant help the fact that the storm took everything they had but what about the people that weren't effected by Katrina; whats their excuse? Some people probably had everything going for them until drugs were brought into the picture. SOme peoples bad decisions and judgement caused them and maybe their families to live out on the streets. So now where do you turn when your road seems so dark ahead? Next, as we know America has many things to offer homeless peoele: like shelters and the Red Cross. Trying to help people after they hve lost everything.It can be difficult for those seeking out for help. As for us being understanding and supportive is all we can do and just hope they are grateful. Sometimes society's viewpoint on homeless people has been seen as a burden on some citizens. Society memebers are seeing this more as a money issue distrubuting out of their pockets. Taxes are rising so the government are offend all these expensives: like welfare, foodstamps, and medicare. Thats putting a bare on society also making America view them as lazy. If you can get a job then why not? Why depend on others to work for when your capable of doing it yourself. Finally, the unemployment rate is booming out of control. Why is so hard to keep a job or is there even enough jobs adaviable out their for everyone. Everyday unemployment is sky rocketing, so how do we stop this? We stop it by people getting up and looking for jobs and stop feeling sorry because they may have gotten laid off. Unemployment is very dependable on societys funds with all the taxes that are taken out for things like this. But its not fair their America is working hard and others are just spending their hard money. It may be too late for you to get up and find a job and the next thing you noticed that you've lost everything. So make a move their are all wonderful possibilites out there for us. In all, everyone gets the same opponunities in life of becoming successful. Doesnt matter if you came from a rich or poor family. We are all able to get the same benifits that this life has to offer. It only depends if the person wants to help theirselves get of the streets or just to do better in their lifes. But nobody can help someone if that person doens want to be helped. Just by choicing some better decsions could limit some of the burden on society that it facing and even decrease the unemployment rate. Homelessness can end with our ourselves, its a choice you make but it shouldnt be a life style choice.
