The Homeless are Not Legitimate Members of a Community Essay -- Argume

The Homeless are Not Legitimate Members of a communityIn most every community in the United States thither exists an ever-growing population of disenfranchised one-on-ones, created by the absence of a home. Their flummox in the community allows them, at best, the socioeconomic status of the homeless-members in our community. But, are these homeless-members in reality decriminalize autonomous-members of a moral community? In this paper I will first argue that the homeless are not legitimate autonomous members of a community. Second that the community as a unit of measurement has a moral obligation to extend membership to the homeless by meeting their need for a home, and so legitimize their autonomy within the community.A moral community can most practically be defined as an entity constituted by all those people who drive to work out meaningful ways of living together (Ethics 98). It is the act upon of participants gaining access into a vast network of communal relations/ne gotiations which allows an individual the possibility to define and articulate his or her identity - with a reek of belonging. The grooming for participating in ones community starts in general at home in family life, as an individual - embedded in a social group - develops a moral-identity through the negotiation process of choices and actions that has its full expression within the greater community. The homeless, at least to approximately degree, have little or no part in these communal negotiations in their community due to their transient unstable condition. The community has not openly excluded the homeless from negotiations, it is simply an inadvertent social reality that is do by by the greater community. If a moral community is an inclusive coordinated network in whi... ...tion, must negotiate a directive where the well-grounded of that community can be fully realized by the inclusion body of all persons worthy of membership worthy of a home. Otherwise, an unarticu lated, disenfranchised world population in our community will continue to emerge on the other side of the economic-divide inducing an increased social dissonance. For how can members of a moral community exclaim, theres no place desire home if persons in their mist lament, theres no place - for us In the words of Peter Singer If it is in our effect to save someones life with little cost to our avow lives, then we our morally obligated to do so, and not to do so is morally reprehensible (Ethics 55).
