Homelessness

I will be using this blog as a journal for my research project. I have decided to conduct my research on homelessness. I realize that this is a very vague and broad topic right now, but I hope that with some further research, I will discover a more narrow topic that I can center my research on.

I've always been intrigued by homelessness. Why is it still present with such wealth and development in the world? Even as a little girl walking with my parents to a Red's game, we'd walk by a homeless man and it would deeply affect me. His sadness and undignified appearance would haunt me for days. The high rates of poverty and homeless truly shake me.

I'd like to find out more about the history of homelessness and its effect on the societies in which it exists. I understand that "homelessness" may have many different meanings depending on how developed a country is. I think I would focus my research on more developed countries because they have the resources to put an end to homelessness.

I am still not 100% passionate about keeping this as my research topic. I have a hopeful wish that some extraordinary research topic will come to me that I will be more enthusiastic about. I am open to suggestions if anyone has any.
