What are some of the ways in which people respond when they see a homeless person on the streets? Why do you think people respond the way they do? Share one way in which people might respond to a homeless person on the street and suggest a reason why people might have been motivated to respond in that particular way.

Use one of the following questions to help guide further thought:

• What is it in the culture where the homeless person lives that might have influenced people’s responses?


• What thought processes do people go through when they decide to walk by a homeless person?


• What structures in our society have contributed to homelessness? To our responses to homelessness?
