QUESTION 8

1. It is January in a small, Midwestern city, several concerned residents have called the mayor about a group of homeless individuals who are living in an encampment near the river. Although there have been remarkably few police calls to the encampment, the mayor decides that since a sever cold snap is coming and sleeping outdoors is not safe, the best alternative is to simply tear down the camp and give its residents a list of local services. The mayor did not consult with the social service agencies that serve the homeless prior to his decision. However, the public outcry against his actions results in the formation of a work group to propose a plan for the homeless in the future. The workgroup includes social service and other medical professionals, law enforcement, the clergy, and the community at large. Therefore, it's not surprising that there is a wide range of opinions on how to approach the problem.

In the meeting Marjorie asserts that there may not be a single "best" way to address the issue of homelessness. She urges group members to think about the assumptions they make and to consider it is the homeless people are viewed as the problem, rather than homelessness itself (or the lack of affordable housing and needed services). Marjorie is advocating for this type of approach__________.

		rational
		creative
		critical
		Interpretative
