vulnerable_populations_analysis__soc_220.docx(1) SOC 220 Vulnerable Populations Analysis Grand Canyon University: SOC 220 Social Problems A vulnerable population is defined as a group of people who require greater protection than normal against the potential risks of participating in research. Some examples of vulnerable populations would be those who are mentally ill, physically handicapped, children and the elderly, homeless people, and a variety of others and all of these populations face a potential number of social problems. When it comes to homeless people, they are some of the most vulnerable people because they do not have a home where they can find comfort or security. Because they are homeless, this means they are most likely very poor which opens up the door to a number of other problems such as lack of access to healthcare and food. Because homeless people are constantly in survival mode, they interact and have different social skills than people who are not homeless. One social problem that homeless people face is learning how to interact and to become functional members of society again, when and if they get out of homelessness. Connection When it comes to the vulnerable population of homeless people, there are a variety of social problems presented on a micro and macro level. On a micro level, which focuses more on the day to day work, homeless people face social problems such as finding housing, social services and healthcare as well as different forms of therapy and treatment, depending on the needs. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .
