All Life Insurance Tips

Calling all grammer people!!! Please, Profread my essay on homelessness?

HOMELESSNESS Homelessness is a problematic issue in our society that increases more and more each year. Unemployment, poverty, low income, mental illness, and racial or sexual discrimination, huge income gap are all contributing factors for homelessness. Ending homelessness does not mean finding shelter for the homeless but finding a way to fix our broken system. Many homeless individual report mental illness as being their number one cause for becoming homeless (Yoshida). Health care costs are skyrocketing and insurance privileges are increasing. Although there are many programs and counseling services for the sick, they all require a stable housing address which the homeless do not even have. The homeless also lack a universal health-care plan that many of the services provided become useless for them. They cannot even get health insurance, because it’s only eligible only if they are employed not unemployed or self-employed. Finding work is the most painstaking part of life that the homeless go through every single day. They do not even have enough money to afford education to help them find a job. The homeless stricken by poverty and have no where to turn to. Some people who already have work are still homeless due to low income. Many employers discriminate worker based on their color of their skin. They take away their rights and give them low wages compared with other workers. They think of people with different color or racial background as disadvantaged and less skilled. The most discriminated racial groups involve Blacks and Hispanics. “[They] complain that the [blacks] are a base class and exclude them from the rights which others enjoy” (Emerson). People of different races are divided into classes that eventually lead to homelessness and poverty. “Race-as-identity” was defined all over the work force, which made it even harder for the homeless to find work (Steele). Even women are discriminated and so there is a twenty percent higher unemployment rate for women than for men (Yoshida). There’s a great income gap between the rich and the poor that the quantity of the homeless starts to rise frequently. As the rich become wealthier and begin purchasing more and more that prices begin to rise. Those whose incomes are not rising as fast are less and less able to afford the same goods that they were able to get before. There are good reasons for defining a free market with a free democracy. But a fair market is as essential to democracy as a free one. The market should not just consider the rich, but also the poor when setting prices on items. Even housing costs are disproportionately affecting people with lower income. As years go by the rental prices for primary residents increase hugely that the current residents end up becoming homeless. Aside from just low wage earners, many workers cannot afford to live where they work and so they go into debt and disappear into nothingness. These are not the only causes that lead up to homelessness. There are many other reasons that not even you or I know about. We should fix the social and economic system for the better of our community as a whole not just provide temporary shelter for the homeless. Providing such services is only going to help maintain poverty not ending it. The homeless should be given free educational training and should not be discriminated against because of their race or sex. They should all be also provided with a free health care plan including treatment for mental illnesses. We should work to end homelessness not to just uphold it. Works Cited Emerson, Ralph Waldo.

1. Grammer looks good to me, I am not an expert but nothing jumps off the page, we definitely need to end homelessness. There is really no excuse for there even being any such thing today in the US.
