Purpose

 

The aim of this report is to discuss different social issues which affect my community. The most important ones are, perhaps, homelessness, crime and loneliness. Furthermore, suggesting some ways of tackling these problems.

 

Homelessness

 Nowadays, it is homelessness the main problem that affect more to the population. We started with this crisis some years ago and it still carries on. Regarding that, many people have lost their jobs and, moreover, many of them cannot pay a rent or, simply, can’t make the ends meet. This is terrible, apalling plus even disgusting. Watching on news how a family more is ejected with a eviction order. The solution is trully complicated. Perhaps the government and the banks might give them more months to pay all their debts before leaving them without anything.

 

Crime

 The second point is nearly relationated with homelessness. Why? The answer is simple. Because there are a lot of vacuum houses and flats and that is the paradise for the criminals and buglers. Briberies, robes, steals for instance are rising in the last few years. Furthermore, there are many poor people who have to steal food or similar things to subsist. The more unemployers there are, the more criminals there will be. Solution: improving the surveillance on streets, especially on the richest ones.

 

Lonelyness

That social issue mainly affects the elderly people. Not only do they live alone, but they also do not have any relative near to them. That is extremely sad because that could cause depression and other mental problems. Besides, these people could have some health problem, so it is better to control them. Many volunteers could visit them at their homes, accompany them during daily time, prepare their meals, come with them to the doctor or simply stroll for the streets.  

 

Conclusion

 To sum up, and taking all of this into account, I consider there are enormous and important social issues in our community. Although, if all of us help in different things, being volunteer, for instance, these problems will improve. I strongly believe this is the clue.
