Government's Position in the Issue of Homelessness
As we have talked about, arguments are often shared to benefit a group of people rather than just to prove that we are “right” or “win” a debate. When we engage in persuasive exercises with people who share a community with us, whether at work, in our families, at school, or in our town, we have a greater chance of success when we carefully consider the different stakeholders and how our recommendations may affect them.
For this unit’s discussion, you will analyze different stakeholders’ positions in your argument and find one source that demonstrates an area of common ground you expect to find among the many stakeholders. Be sure to review this week’s learning activities on search techniques before searching for a source. Then, respond to the following prompts in at least two well-developed paragraphs:
Share your revised thesis and tell us who the key stakeholders are. Whom does this issue affect that we do not often hear from? What aspects of the argument do you expect most stakeholders to agree about? Identify three search terms you could use to find evidence that helps to illustrate the common ground between stakeholders. Hint: The learning activity "Choosing & Using Keywords" can help you figure out what search terms to use as you seek out common ground sources.
Using the search terms above, find one source in the Library that helps to illustrate the problem and establish common ground with stakeholders. Identify one main idea from the source you want to use and why you selected that source.
Ask an open-ended question to classmates based on what help you need either finding common ground or doing the background research on your topic.
Finally, wrap up your post by sharing the author’s name, the title of the source, and the link to the source.

Stakeholder Agreement
In dealing with the problem of homelessness, some diverse stakeholders are interested in the problem. The selected stakeholder is the government. The government's role is to protect its citizens and ensure that all the citizens can get basic needs, such as food, shelter, and clothing. All stakeholders agree that the issue of homelessness is a menace to society and needs immediate addressing because if that is not achieved, there is a likelihood of an increase in crime rates in the community. In this case, the government in question is the collaboration between local and federal governments
