These are the people in your neighborhood : an honors journal (HONRS 499)

Abstract

This journal is about discoveries I found while creating a documentary on the homeless in Indianapolis. It covers the difficulty of finding a complete representation of the various ages and types of homeless people, the concept of homelessness as a separate society within society, the differences and distances between the two societies, the global importance of this issue and suggestions for solutions. This is not a "research paper”, it is a personal journal of observations and thoughts I've had through taking time out to come "into their world" as the homeless would say. It is an attempt to look closely at the homeless problem, the people it involves and what could be done about it.
