Would I give a dollar to a homeless guy?

Of the four choices given in class I’d say I would put myself under “Not usually but..”. Usually I look down on the homeless as people who’ve let themselves be swallowed by addiction. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that all homeless people are addicted to either drugs, alcohol, or some vice. I know it doesn’t seem very kind of me but I think most bums are the epitome of weak and worthless. I would however consider some situations exceptions. I don’t believe the children of terrible parents deserve to live on the street so I would give money to a person who had no choice but to beg with their children for money. Also if I saw a wounded veteran I think I’d be more likely to give. Most of today’s veterans have suffered if not debilitating wounds then terrible mental anguish because of what they’ve seen in the battlefield. There is a different kind of disparate person that I don’t look down upon at all, a man in a bad situation whose not looking for a handout but is looking for work so he can honestly make something of himself. That’s the kind of person I’d try to help the most. Not just give that man a measly dollar but try to help that man put his life back on track. My whole answer is pretty much theoretical though because it’s been a long time since I’ve found myself passing a homeless person on the street. Living at the USF campus has really cut down my face-to-face time with bums.
