The specific cross-cultural group that I will be studying is the life of the homeless and in what ways that it may differ from our life. More specifically, my ideas for how I’m going to accomplish this is to find several groups of homeless and just get to know them. On top of getting to know them and building trust, I will try and focus on weather or not the homeless stay in touch with their families, and if not what happened, and how whatever has happened has effected them personally. I will also try and find out if they do not have a family if they have other relationships with people or even animals that they consider their family. In addition to the homeless, I think I will try and find a homeless shelter and ask them what they have observed, if most homeless people come to the shelter in groups or alone, and if they do come in groups if it looks as though any come with their families or if it is only their friends. Hopefully these questions will give me a better understanding of a homeless person’s family life and how that effects them in general.
