There are many homeless people out on the streets of the large cities
in this great nation. When unemployment still hasn't gotten near zero and
new jobs are being created every day, people are starting to ask why there
are still homeless people in the alleys and on the sidewalks of this
country. This seems to be an ever haunting problem even though it would be
so easy for homeless people to just get a job. Let's look at the general
requirements for applying for and keeping a job. All you have to do is
have nice clothes to make a decent impression, a home address and some way
to be reached in tight situations, and a way of getting to work in the
morning or night--whichever the case may be. That's it. And I, for one,
have reached a solution to this widespread laziness.
First of all, most homeless people spend their days hunting through
trash cans and dumpsters for a piece of sustenance or at least something of
value. If they're not doing that, they're begging for spare change on
street corners. Eventually, one would think that they should be able to
afford a couple of respectable suits or other outfits to wear while
applying and even working for this job of theirs. All they have to do is
poke around a little longer or beg a little more, and that job would be
theirs to enjoy. Keeping these articles of clothing clean would be
difficult, but manageable. If you can't afford a coin operated laundromat
(I'm sure there'd be plenty of left over change from begging), just find
some large, clean puddle of water in the street to wash things in. As for
cleanliness, I'm sure people throw away left over deodorant or
antiperspirant, soap, and other such toiletries to where you can care of
the bathing problem. You don't need to clean your hair, in fact, doing so
would rid yourself of the natural oils that build up over time and actually
hold your hair style in place.
Second, with all the left over money and such, they could go to one of
those Mailbox Etcetera stores and buy themselves a mailing address. That
just means they'll have to cope with eating only what they find in the
garbage, and not spending any of that extra cash on that frivolous fast
food, or that healthy vegetable stuff. Suppose they absolutely need a
phone number also. What's stopping ...
Everyday 3,000 children start smoking, most them between the ages of 10 and 18. These kids account for 90 percent of all new smokers. In fact, 90 percent of all adult smokers said that they first lit up as teenagers (Roberts). These statistics clearly show that young people are the prime target in the tobacco wars. The cigarette manufacturers may d...
In the eighteenth century,England would punish by death for pickpocketing and petty theft. Ever since the 1650?s colonist could be put to death for denying the true god or cursing their parents advocates. Capital Punishment have clashed almost continuously in the forum of public opinion in state legislatures and most recently in co...
Love for life Raised with strict family values, I cringe to phrases like, ?I can?t wait to get my children out of the house,? or ?As soon as my children reach 18, they are on their own.? I become shocked to discover that age defines the release date in which children are no longer supported by parents. Children are the offspr...
Define your identity? It's a simple concept, but one that can be difficult to grasp. Your identity is who you are in the inside and on the outside. When some people think about identity, they usually think about the color of your skin, facial features, religion, where you come from or what you are into. When I think about identity, I think of more...
Socio-economic conditions in North America have contributed to the need for dual incomes for families. Economically, "the number of two parent families below the poverty line would increase to an estimated 78% if they were to become single income families ." Socially, it was the norm, in the past, for women to stay at home, taking care of the child...

One of the most difficult challenges of life in society is finding the strength to break out of the mold which has been set by the values of previous generations. From infancy onward, everyone's heart and mind are struck by a deluge of ideas which declare what is "right" and "proper" and "appropriate"; most defer to these pronouncements, for the re...
Politics is assuming command of the American economy in the form of pervasive "equal opportunity" enforcement. In today's society, everyone is supposed to be equal and have equal rights, but in employment, there is more discrimination than ever. American citizens need to do away with affirmative action so that America's job opportunities can once a...
It is a dark stormy night when suddenly the phone rings. I casually answer the telephone. It is my older sister informing me that our mother is in the hospital. She is going to need an emergency brain transplant. It takes me just a moment to drop everything I am doing and rush to the hospital. When I arrive I see my father and sister in the wai...

In recent years preferential hiring has become an issue of great interest.
