...However history proves homelessness is not a new era, society just failed to give the issue the needed attention. There are over 2 million men, women, and children that are currently homeless in America. Yearly 1 in 30 children in Kentucky experience homelessness, according to an article by Cholkshi, which explains a notable increases in the number of homeless families as well. Though it maybe unknown to others but there are a number of homeless persons in the Radcliff and Elizabethtown area. Kentucky Interagency Council on Homelessness home page states “People are considered homeless if they do not have access to safe, affordable and permanent places to live. People become homeless for a variety of reasons. Health problems, family conflicts, limited life choices and the lack of a support system are frequent causes of homelessness, lack of affordable housing and...

...board, I feel it is important to address some of the issues brought forth by a few members of the board. I am in support of having a shelter built for the homeless, predominately mothers and children of the underserved population. Times are tough right now and at any given moment any one of us may be only one humiliating step away from homelessness. A job loss, serious illness or any other everyday occurrence of life could cause us all to be on the streets. The concept that the working poor are lazy, did not earn high school degrees, are not using birth control, and lack responsibility for their actions is uninformed thinking. These stereotypes hinder us looking at the big picture. Every day we walk past people in the streets who do not fit the stereotype of homelessness (Voices, 2014). There are people who you admire like Cary Grant, David Letterman, Daniel Craig, Sylvester Stallone, Ben Franklin, Tyler Perry, and Samuel L. Jackson, Col. Harland Sanders, of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame, who were all homeless(Voices, 2014). William Shatner, who after Star Trek was cancelled in 1970, lived out of his truck for a while working in summer stock plays across the country. These people made great contributions to society. You don’t know what contributions others may be capable of making in the future if it weren’t for homeless shelters. Our country has been funding other world governments for decades. It is time we put money back into our society and become the power we once were...

...The United States is viewed as a progressive country that can provide infinite opportunities to its citizens. America has also been known to be a place of plenty for the oppressed. Today with the current economic climate and the displacement across the area this has become a growing concern. Although the US has been known as a superpower involving itself in world problems and decisions it really struggles to solve its own homeless issue. Although the Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky is putting a small dent in the local homelessness it seems their vision is effective in moving individuals who have fell on their luck to a better situation. Their vision is that filling the basic necessities will allow the individual to recover and move on from homelessness. From my experience the gentlemen in the story is the typical candidate, one who was middle class, working a median paying job, and family to support and then a turn of luck with being hit by a car started a landslide of events that sometimes leave the situation unrecoverable. So it is touching to hear that a program that is turning a 10 year ordeal around for a man who was living in a car to proud independent man living and paying for his own housing. The other reason this article touched me was that the other day I had parked my car in the bank lot in Alexandria while we went on a family outing to Kincaid and I came back to what I thought was a ticket on my car. The reality was that it was a plea from a mother with children...

...A. Introduction to Legal Section Should the underprivileged have help from the government? Should the underprivileged have rights to use these benefits on fast food? Would it change your opinion if the underprivileged were specifically the “elderly”, “disabled” or “homeless?” Under the law people have these opportunities, even though everyone may not agree with it. The general concern is the “unhealthiness” that fast food brings to America; obesity and diabetes is already a concern and the government using American tax dollars to promote unhealthy eating doesn’t help. B. Statement of Relevant Legal Principles and Rules of Law Food Stamps Act of 1977 Under the Food Stamp Act of 1977 eligible households may be issued coupons with which to purchase from approved food stores. It was enacted to promote the general welfare by permitting low-income households to obtain a nutritious diet through normal channels of trade by increasing food purchasing power for all eligible households who apply for participation. Under this Act, the Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to formulate and administer a food stamp program under which eligible households will be provided with the opportunity to obtain a more nutritious diet through the issuance of coupons. These coupons are to be used solely to purchase food from retail stores which have been approved for the participation on the program. (3 C. J.S. Agriculture § 36) The Secretary of Agriculture will propose allowable amounts...

...of gay and lesbian people in the United States. Information from the Census Bureau taken in September 2011 shows there were 131,729 same-sex married couple households and 514,735 same-sex unmarried partner households in the United States. Although the population is large, in the U.S. only about 50% of the states have laws that specifically protect LGBT individuals against discrimination, especially regarding employment (Nadler, 2014). This population has been targeted by many forms of discrimination. Much of this discrimination can be considered aversive racism, where it isn’t always obvious. This is something that is said to be justifiable (Nadler, 2014). Research shows that people of the LGBT community have a higher likelihood of being homeless, trouble obtaining jobs, and a higher risk for mental illness (Gamarel, 2012). III....

...Week 2 Assignment Windshield Survey Summary and Reflection (Part 1 of the Programmatic Assessment) Fleurette Duverglas University of Phoenix NUR/405 - HEALTHY COMMUNITIES: THEORY AND PRACTICE Professor Sharon Baker November 17, 2014 Windshield Survey and Reflection Introduction The fundamental objective of conducting a community assessment is to attain the complete scenario of the region and identify the requirements of the specific community. This assignment is reflection of my windshield survey conducted in North Miami Beach. The client includes a family that consists of five members. The assessment of the community is based on precise and inclusive examination of various aspects that includes history, health care issues of the region, data on the population of community, mediums of communication available, vital statistics, governmental efforts, and attitude and perception of the community members. The community health nursing requires a holistic approach, and the selected five member family needs to be considered with respect to. (Annerbäck, 2012). Community is specifically defined as the “social group of any volume whose members inhabits in specified locality, share government, and often have a similar cultural and historical heritage”. Furthermore, community health can be understood as congregation of combined requirements through identification of problems and administration behaviors within the community itself...

...Foundation for Adoption, only one hundred thousand of them are eligible for adoptions. Unfortunately, last year there were qualified adoptive parents available for only twenty thousand of these children. The vast majority was not lucky enough to be chosen for adoption because they are known as “hard-to-place” children due to their age, race, or a disability. Many of them live in institutions where they do not receive personalized attention and become run-aways. The ones who stay end up living in more than twenty different foster homes before they are of legal age. Data collected in 2014 by the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System showed that many of the adolescents who stay in system are prone to suffer from PTSD, become homeless, or go to prison. Although the situation is terrible and small changes have been noticed over the years, there is one significant addition which could benefit many: the increasing number of gay couples interested in adopting. These couples can become a huge resource for kids waiting on being adopted, by taking them out of the foster system and providing a supporting environment. Same-sex partners should be allowed to adopt because they are equally as capable of parenting as heterosexual couples, they are very likely to choose adoption to start their families, are usually more committed to parenting, and tend to adopt hard-to-place children. Homosexual parents are as likely as heterosexual parents to provide supportive and healthy environments...

...Trail of Tears At the beginning of the 1830’s about 100,000 Native Americans owned millions of acres of land throughout the southeast of the United States. These states were Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, and Florida, the Native Americans believed this land was the land their ancestors had, and their God had given to them. The southern Indians had plenty of land about twenty five million acres, virtually the entire inland south and were more numerous than the Northern Indian people. By the end of the decade very few Native Americans still remained in this land because the government forced them to leave their land because the white wanted their territory. White settles wanted Indian land because they wanted to grow cotton, and there was gold where the Cherokees inhabited. The Native Americans were forced to walk thousands of miles to Indian Territory, many of them died of diseases or hunger, and this is why it became known as the trail of tears. Most Native Americans belonged to the five tribes which were the: Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole. The Choctaw were the first to negotiate for their land with the federal government in 1830 they agreed to give up their property for western land. The government in the other hand had no experience in transporting large amount of people from state to state so on the journey to their new land many Native Americans died from exhaustion, exposure, malnutrition and disease while traveling. In 1828 Andrew...

...For this assignment I chose to do bounty hunters. There are a lot of people that are in this profession that like to be called fugitive recovery agents rather than bounty hunters. This is because when people hear bounty hunter, it tends to automatically make most think about negative things, or the first thing that comes to mind is something from the old days when people use to post dead or alive posters with an award on it. Some of the more accepted titles other than bounty hunter are bail bond recovery agent as mentioned before, bail officer, fugitive recovery officer, bail agent, bail enforcement agent, and fugitive recovery agent. Private investigators and bounty hunters have some of the same job duties in common which include, conducting interviews, performing surveillance, getting in contact with the subject, skip tracing which is when they track somebody to a current resident or location, and if a subject is located, some form of paperwork might be served. The private investigator could serve the individual legal papers and the bounty hunter could serve a warrant. The bounty hunter works with the bail bondsman in order to re-arrest the individual and place them in jail. This is usually because the bail bondsman’s client has not followed his or her bail contract. Usually the offense is when the individual fails to appear in court after promising to go. The first bounty hunter is Pat Garrett, and he is the one responsible for hunting down Billy the Kid. His motivation...

... They immediately dive in to rescue the drowning baby. To their horror, the group notices another baby floating towards them. They rush to save that baby, but no sooner is that baby pulled to safety; they see another baby floating. By this time a vicious cycle has started and soon the river is full of drowning babies. Again and again, the group dives into the river, trying to save the seemingly endless flow of drowning babies. One of the people gets out of the river and begins running upstream. A friend shouts “Where are you going?” “I’m going to find out who is throwing the babies into the river and make them stop!” the heroic man yells back, as he runs upstream. The homeless animal problem is very similar to this fable. Animal shelters and rescue groups try hard to save the homeless animals in the “river”. However, this will never solve the problem. Millions of dogs and cats are killed annually as the result of unwanted, unplanned litters that could have been prevented by spaying and neutering. According to the article “Early-Age Spay/Neuter before Adoption,” “With seven to ten million cats and dogs destroyed each year in shelters, it is clear that overpopulation is the greatest killer in the nation of cats and dogs and is the major cause of animal pain and suffering.” The greatest hope for reducing the massive overpopulation of unwanted animals, is mandatory spaying/neutering of all shelter animals...

...to know that the elective franchise is not given to the colored man. “I would myself prefer that it were now conferred on intelligent colored men, and on those who serve our cause as soldiers,” Abraham Lincoln said on his speech. African Americans had had more rights than they had before the Civil Rights Act. As citizens now they could make and enforce contracts, sue and be sued, give evidence in court, own their property. But it was not that easy to let every whiteman to accept. At the same year, the Ku Klux Klan was founded, hundreds and thousands of extreme southern whites were threatening the blacks. “All these ex-slaves, we have no place to put them,” Dr. Susan Walens once commented. Unlike white men, those ex-slaves weren't just homeless but they had no rights. What should we do to help these ex-slaves and really achieve reunification? By 1870, three new amendments were added to the Constitution: the Thirteenth Amendment, the Fourteenth Amendment, and the Fifteenth Amendment. These amendments granted equal rights to people of all color, and they finally be treated as citizens in law. This is a great step into anti-slavery. Not for long, southern legislatures quickly passed several laws limiting blacks’ access to public accommodations and legal protection, which were called Jim Crow laws. Blacks were disenfranchised because of these legalized segregation. After the Freedmen’s Bureau ended in 1872, whites thought that the legal process to express their will of avoiding...
