Session 2: Why do people Beg?
Overview:
The first part of this session features a local actor who begs for money and then describes his experience and feelings doing so. The next section focuses on interviews with real panhandlers reflecting their experiences and feelings. Then, Templeton discusses the differences in bottom-line values and vocabulary for people with resources and those without resources. The session closes with interviews of a police officer and a security worker in downtown Atlanta who give their perspectives on the city?s homeless situation.
