I think that most people should help those who are in trouble in some way. The question is how to help them. Normally this problem occurs when someone is sitting by the side of the road cardboard signs are asking for help in some way, but in most cases they are in the form of money. However, something makes the provider uneasy. How do they handle the money? Do they need money? Does it really help them? The truth of the problem is that it is not so. But there are things that can help people in need.
If you live in a city-like place, you will always see you. Yes, I use the politically incorrect term "begger." "Panhandler" and "Homeless" are modern euphemisms that we use to make you feel better. The word "begger" has a long legendary history. Please look at the spelling. It is "ar", not "spe". The beggar is probably the second oldest profession in the world, perhaps even the oldest occupation. Within human history, the beggar has appeared in stories, legends, and songs of all cultures. People are often involved in serious problems as they treat ruthlessly and reward you for being kind. The one with a small cardboard signage may be God himself!
Hey, little or homeless - Your name is part of the street. Since society does not want to see them, it often disapproves some of the display and criticism. Because street photography needs to truly record the street life, if homeless people can not express contemporary street pictures, it only distorts the reality. Therefore, including them is not exploitation. But today's street photography has some misunderstandings that this is done in any image of homeless, representing inequality in modern wealth and what they want to say in these images. The truth is that 99% of so-called street photo images are shit and not worth. As mentioned earlier, photographers often fear that they will be connected with people as they approach people, so it is common to use remote lenses for taking photographs from far away.
Once the homeless is indoors and leaves safe from the eyes of a rich man, the public's interest in what happened to them will disappear. However, most homeless New Yorkers are not the incarnations of Mr. Bao or Mr. Bao who is in the stereotype of the subway and other psychosis and addiction. The main increase in homeless is for people who do not have a shelter for living or homeless. According to the statistics of the homeless alliance, there are 15023 families in May this year, 22,538 children sleeping in the evacuation center of the municipality in New York City every day. Approximately 130,000 people spent at least one night refuge during FY 2017. More than 45 thousand of them correspond to this. According to the Wall Street Journal, about one-third of households in the shelter system earn income.
