# REFERENCE TO VALID SOURCES AND SOCIOLOGICAL THEORISTS OR
THEORIES IS EXPECTED.
You will need to consider, research and discuss with examples each of the
following:
a) Stereotyping and labelling
The homeless stand as a vulnerable people in many aspects. Those undergoing homelessness
not merely experience individual and financial adversity they correspondingly face
choosiness and exclusion owing to their status of age. Homelessness lingers to remain a
contentious concern in Australia. Society emphasizes on the person as the foundation of his
or else her identifiable state of destitution, blaming the casualty reasonably than converging
on the more antecedent social as well as monetary forces, for instance, idleness, inadequate
affordable accommodation, and collapses in relations of kinship (Aihw.gov.au, 2019).
Social disgrace transpires insituations wherever there remains unequal communal, economic,
and administrative influence and there stands an occasion to label and stereotype as well as
unconnected (us contrasted with them), lose position, and distinguish. Stigmatization occurs,
when persons feel threatened by a different group. The social order classifies the aged
individuals who are homeless to be no longer suitable or ‘‘functional’’ entities of extreme
readiness, as they do not enthusiastically work as well as support the societal structure
(Morley et al. 2014).
b) What might be social norms expected of, or impacting on this individual / group /
community?
There is the mal-dissemination of wealth as well as resources to diverse social groups. This
mal-distribution might lead to disparity in main purviews of lifecycle such as earnings,
wellbeing, housing, nourishment, and occupation. The association to the prospective reasons
of homelessness for the aged persons refers to the concerns of poverty, idleness, low-paying
professions, modifications of communal policy, regulating access to societal safety,
incapacity benefits, cutbacks in welfare provision, nonexistence of inexpensive housing,
