Blog #2<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After watching the documentary, \u201cTaylor\u2019s Campaign,\u201d I was disturbed from the views and opinions that the people in power and the authorities had about the homeless population in that area. Even though this film took place in 1994, it worries me that the people in power still feel this way about the homeless. The people in city council were making all the decisions for the homeless. I felt that they were making it impossible for them to survive. For example, the city was telling them that they had to move away or that they could not receive food donations. I had a hard time coming up with a reason why they would take this away from them? These people in power are leaders, but are they doing what is best for the people? The horrible phrases that they used to describe the homeless were \u201cthey should not exists\u201d and \u201cthey should be put to sleep.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One of the core values that police departments believe in is: respect. Despite this fact, the authorities had nothing but disrespect for the homeless. I found that the authorities were quick to judge them and oppressed them. One of the most important things I have learned so far in this course is that there are a number of factors in these individuals\u2019 lives that have caused them to be homeless, and that all people should take that into account. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I feel that a responsibility of the authorities is to protect the people, but the film shows them doing the opposite for the homeless. I am curious how the authorities view the homeless, today. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
