This captivating photo by Lewis Hine highlights the very real problem of homelessness and wealth gap in New York City. Even a hundred years ago, these problems existed, and Lewis Hine does a proper job in capturing an aspect of the city that many ignored and still do to this day. This photo is worth discussing because it addresses an issue that many people fail to take a side on. Many times we look at a homeless person and conflicting thoughts run through our minds, such as assumptions about the person’s character, but in reality we don’t know anything about them. I think it will be interesting to see other people’s opinions on how and if we should be helping the homeless.
