I believe that both members of society and the homeless must work together to actually help the homeless. In the United States, especially, this must be a joint effort, as there are countless resources available. For example, there are homeless shelters, and different agencies and charities that cater specficially to the homeless. Members of society can help by donating not only money, even though monetary donations do make a big difference. There are more things that spread the message of helping those in situations direr than yours, such as volunteering and donating food. However, a homeless person in the United States has to actually take the initiative to go into a shelter. Also, it depends on how the person became homeless. For example, if it is the result of an illegal durg or alcohol addiction, then the person has to do more to help themselves overcome that addiction and get off of the streets. Globally, countries that are exremely impoverished do not have as many shelters available to them. Being homeless in the United States still means that you are richer than approximately 75% of the world's population. Because of this, for those that are impoverished and homeless internationally, people here in this capitalist superpower must do more to help protect the future of those born into a situation they had no control over.
