#5: Encountering Homelessness with TJ Reed
What should you do when you see a homeless person? Should you just avert your eyes and pretend they aren't there? Or should you give them money? Will they just waste it on drugs?
In this episode, TJ Reed and I think about various ethical questions raised when encountering homelessness. TJ has worked on homelessness and related issues in Phoenix, Arizona for over a decade, and he has a wealth of insight and a heartfelt passion to share with us. I'm sure you'll agree.
