PUBLIC SPACE AND HOMELESSNESS IN MODERNITY AND LIQUID SOCIETY

The street situation of many people around the world has caused what is called a social problem, however, there are still no optimal solutions, why is this so? This paper investigates the persistence of homelessness in the context of the prosperity and affluence of the modern era. It questions why, despite social and economic progress, there are still people living on the streets. A critical approach is used to examine the role of language as an ideological superstructure and its relation to material reality. Furthermore, it analyses the impact of capitalism in widening the social gap between the working classes. It explains that homelessness is not a problem unique to our modern era, but has been exacerbated by current economic and social conditions. Despite living in an era of prosperity, the social gap has widened, leading to an increase in the number of homeless people The paper concludes that the solution to homelessness is not simply a matter of language, but requires a change in the socio-economic structures that perpetuate inequality. It suggests that a more compassionate and humane approach is needed to tackle this social problem.
