A Just World Essay

I believe a just world should be a world filled with equality for all kinds, men and women, all ethnicities, and all social classes. No matter what your income is or who you are; all should be entitled to healthcare and the necessities for life and also supporting a family. You should be treated fairly by your government and have laws to protect your rights from being violated by others, and a system of government that respects all of God 's gifts. In a just world homelessness should not be an issue because others should provide housing for those who have none until they can on their own. Immigration should be set up with a clear and thorough procedure to let immigrants in for work or just to make a new home for better opportunities. Ample

They are given some help, but in most places it is a type of aid for their current situation, food, a bed for the night etc. Their are very few programs to help them to recover and to actually work for their own place to live and to buy their own food, clothing, and other necessities. In a just world we should treat homeless people with respect and sympathy, I am sure they do not like their living conditions and would love to change them. We must aid their current situation but also show and lead them on a path to recovery and one day breaking free from homelessness and own their own house or apartment and buying their own food. In 2009 67.4% of our homeless in the U.S. were veterans. Today the number is closer to 8.6%. I believe this is completely unacceptable to let men and women who have offered to give their lives for our country to live on the streets. While the number of homeless veterans has dropped dramatically it is still way to high. Everyone deserves to have a roof over their heads, especially our country 's

I believe the three most important issues today preventing us in the US from being a just country are our welfare/healthcare system, our homelessness epidemic, and illegal immigration. Many in poverty in the US can not afford health care, or good health care. Efforts have been made by Obama to aid this but the fact remains that you need money for quality health care, and a lot of it. Just because someone gets hurt or sick should not mean they need to go into debt to get better. The issue of Homelessness in the US could be ended for about 20billion dollars according to a 2012 article in the Huffington post, that 's slightly LESS than what we spend on Christmas decorations every year. To me the fact that we allow people to live in the streets is unacceptable and sickening. The problem could be fixed easily if citizens truly wanted to fix it, but not many see the need. Illegal immigration in the US continues to grow and grow with about 6.5 million undocumented Hispanics in the US, or about 65% of the total number of undocumented immigrants in the US. The issue with illegal immigrants is that we have no way of knowing what they are coming here for, bringing or taking with them, and it is not fair to those who decide to go through the legal way. The legal way can take a great deal of time and a lot of work, and many times they are not even
