During my career, I saw a lot of cases indicate that homeless go to hospitals or pharmacies to find a charity or to get help by doctors or pharmacists. Through my Professional working in one of the pharmacies. I faced many of these cases that sick people with low income or homeless, especially in the winter asking for medications against Cough or Flu, through my moral and my profession. I tried to give some donations or humanitarian aid to whom needs. My ethical value is to help people when needed. Hence Beneficence is one of the important qualities that should every doctor or pharmacist that infuses. A smile or handshaking to the homeless can build hope and help to make his day better. Back in Syria I worked with a group of colleagues to collect medications for pressure, diabetes diseases, gave them to the associations that provide medications for the homeless who suffer from such chronic diseases. Thus In my opinion, it 's a right of any person, whatever his circumstances, can get the required treatment and to be treated fully
¨ If I cannot give my consent to my own death, whose body is this? Who owns my life?- Sue Rodriguez. If one cannot choose when they die and how they go out, then are we really the owner of our life and body? Physician assisted suicide is the practice of providing a competent patient with a prescription for medication for the patient to use with the primary intention of ending his or her own life. When the patient is terminally ill and is in a lot of pain they should be able to end their own life instead of waiting for it to end itself. Even though some argue that physician assisted suicide is not a humane way of dying it still stops the patient´s suffering and gives them peace of mind.
Many people believe that the only way to receive HIV and AIDS is through sexual intercourse. Although it can be spread through sexual intercourse without proper protection, there is a bigger issue at hand. Not only can HIV and AIDS be transferred through sex, it can be transferred through the sharing of needles. A large number of people forget that drugs are becoming a popular trend in today’s society. The spread of HIV and AIDS has increased because of the sharing of needles between drug users.Not only is it an STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) it is a bloodborne pathogen. This is why needle exchange programs are a must have in communities like Licking County, today. Needle exchange programs are extremely helpful because it decreases the spread of HIV and AIDS.
People tend to believe that homeless individuals will beg for money, only to spend it on drugs. Contrary to this, however, statistics prove otherwise. According to a recent survey across the United States, “94% of panhandlers”, or commonly known as the homeless, use the money that they receive to solely “purchase the food that they need” (Gaille). People who follow the folkway of avoiding eye contact need to understand that their donations are often for beneficial use. They also need to understand that avoiding eye contact is a means of ignorance.
Homeless people get treated like they're invisible in our society. People have the idea that many beggars are drug addicts or are just lazy to look for jobs. I believe some people go through experiences like mental health problems, some lose their jobs that cause them to be homeless . Although some people use the money for their drugs and alcohol abuse. As a society we should help our brothers and sisters who are in need and we can’t just assume everyone is bad. I once met a man in the train who was selling body oil, long story short he was once shot 14 times and was hospitalized for 2 months. After he was out, he had no where to stay or go and therefore he was homeless and slept outside of a mosque for weeks. He said he was very hurt by the fact nobody ever offered him food or water. Then he told me if I learned anything from him is I should i always people who are in need even a little help counts. Homeless
“Homelessness can be the cause as well as the result of poor health” (Wise, Emily, Debrody, Corey &ump; Paniucki, Heather, 1999, p.445). This is a reoccurring theme that has existed within the homeless population for decades. While programs to help reduce this constant circle are being put in place all over the country to provide medical services for the homeless to be able to go to, many are still finding that health care needs for individuals as well as homeless communities are not being met. Many studies have been completed that study both the opinion on healthcare by those who have access to sufficient health care and homeless people’s perceptions on health care administration. While many companies are working to provide more personal
According to a study conducted by the Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved, “Homelessness can be the cause as well as the result of poor health” (Wise, Emily, Debrody, Corey & Paniucki, Heather, 1999, p.445). This is a theme that has existed within the homeless population for decades. While progressive programs are being put in place all over the country to provide adequate medical services, many are still finding that health care needs of individuals as well as communities are not being met. A significant number of studies have been completed that examine both the numbers associated with those who have access to sufficient health care as well as homeless people’s perceptions on health care administration. While programs are working to provide more satisfactory health care, a trend appears that the larger problem is the need to educate the community about various health services and their availability and to increase outreach of these services to the homeless.
They might believe it is unnecessary when there are plenty of options and places to receive medical care, but this is simply not true. According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, medical treatment is often difficult for the homeless to obtain without medical insurance. They often wait and end up causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in emergency room
Homeless individuals are known for taking hand outs and they prefer to plead for money rather than to go work for it. People assume most of the the money that is given to homeless people they spend it on drugs and alcohol because of the fact that many homeless people have drug and alcohol addictions. It is not uncommon to come across homeless youth and older homeless population that are known to abuse substances like drugs and alcohol. Because of the fact that homeless people have substance abuse problems, they tend face illnesses and infections. Many hard working Americans ask themselves “why don’t homeless people just get jobs?” The assumption is they are just lazy and unmotivated. Homeless people choose to live the life they live. Everyone goes through problems but not all people take the path homeless people do. The problems homeless people face is not an excuse for them to be helped and maintained by other hard working people. Although homelessness might be a choice to some, no one knows the hardships these people have gone through. Some assume these people are just lazy but in reality a lot of these homeless people have jobs of their own, they just can’t afford housing and a decent life. Everyone has their own opinion on homeless people, but that does not change the fact that one should still serve the homeless. Not because homeless people need help but because we are
.... The homeless community is a growing problem that only worsens with time. If we don’t make an effort now, to help the most vulnerable among us, then we are only contributing to this problem. With our unsure economy, nothing is guaranteed, so just be considerate for others who are in an inferior situation, because who knows when you might need a hand.
Watching someone sit in a hospital room with a terminal illness, slowly wasting away to nothing but a body of pain and broken thoughts is not something that anyone wants to witness. Should we the people allow patients the right to put an end to it all before reaching this stage in their disease? Many religious people believe that this is morally wrong, against God’s plan, and that it undermines the value of an individual’s life. Even though assisted suicide has been legalized in some nations, the arguments on whether or not it’s immoral continue.
Instead of criticizing homeless people and automatically labeling them with stereotypes, we should learn to not be so quick to judge but instead see how we can help those who are less fortunate. A lot of times people are in a certain situation for a reason whether they have lost their home, job, etc. We should not be so quick to think or say that a person is homeless because of drugs or because they put themselves in their situation because frankly, that is not always the case. Less fortunate people need a hand as well as someone who could help provide opportunities for them. One could simply help a homeless individual by helping them find a job. If one has connections, that person should try their best to help a homeless person out and get
Look at your life now. Think of your future. Think about what you want to become, your aspirations, ambitions, and goals for yourself. Many of us, in this very room are seniors; we are about to graduate high school and enter a critically imperative phase in our lives, our opportunities are endless, the world is at our feet.

Nowadays, we can find a great numerous homeless people’ in the street, trying to survive by begging for money from middle class or high class people. Displaced people day a day try to find a perfect spot where they can stay to ask for money and to be able to sleep comfortable. Also, homeless people always carry a plastic bag or a shopping bag with their belongings. For this reason, I believe that homeless people should move into shelter or hospitals. In this way, displaced individual won’t waste time to find a spot to be comfortable. Also, the benefit that the New Yorkers would provide in the shelters or hospitals, and others ways that high-income people can contribute with New Yorkers.
People should help the homeless by aiding them with healthcare, housing, and childcare. Homelessness is not a new trend and is growing more everyday. Homeless people should not be different from anyone else when it comes to getting a helping hand.
