In my group thus far, we have discussed the different discriminations of the homeless and how this may effect them and the everyday man's environment. However, I will be talking about the discrimination of the homeless in the healthcare community, their mental health, and the different stereotypes of homeless people. I provide better insight and more viewpoints on this issue, while also giving you facts from many scholarly resources. Our project is to bring the awareness to the many discriminations against homeless people and how it may affect them. Many questions are discussed such as: Could this discrimination bring the homeless down mentally and/or physically? Can being so stereotypical against the homeless make them more susceptible to becoming worse as a person? Or, can being so discriminant against the homeless affect the environment badly? When doing this research, I will be making sure to implement all of my findings in my project three, making it more informational while bringing the awareness to it. This podcast is only factual and not emotional, while still convincing the listener that there is a discrimination against the homeless. Please listen/read, and enjoy!
