why do they throw thrash on the floor? is it a cultural thing?
in the west, indoors floors are supposed to be at least as clean as chairs. it arose in victorian age to do this, because dresses of that time often touched or dragged on the floor.
even today it just makes sense to keep it that way, so in case someone falls their clothes aren’t stained.
maybe the situation in china is in such a way because they skipped the victorian age and went right into industrialism.

I have lived in China for five years and as much as I hate to generalize, it is a shit-hole. Most Chinese people are dirty and untidy. I’ve been on the cheap trains and by the end of the journey the bathroom floor is a swamp of shit, piss, tissue and rubbish. Various liquids were flowing from under the bathroom door while passengers continued to smoke relentlessly in the corridor. I asked train staff to open a window and they said they were not allowed to, even though the ventilation system was out of order. People hawk and spit on the floor all the time, including inside the trains, restaurant floors and bins. They don’t give a crap about communal areas, hence the environmental problems they are experiencing. Generalized selfishness is a probable cause. They take their shoes off when they get home not because they are clean but because the streets are dirty as hell. The north of China is worse, people constantly spit on the floor. In winter the spit freezes over and eventually the whole pavement is covered. Great way to spread diseases! They also spit bones and debris on the table instead of on the side of their plate or into a bowl.
It’s a country with no conception of maintenance: buildings and public facilities are built to look good on day one and left to rot and decay. Nothing is built to last in China. Cheap buildings are erected and demolished on a 20-year cycle. It’s a makeshift botched-up country. Becoming a super also takes planning, something the Chinese are clearly not good at.
After being in this country for a long time I am immune to pretty much anything.
The government puts a lot of money and effort into blocking internet access, shouldn’t all those resources go into educating people?

MADNESS IN THE STREETS: MENTAL ILLNESS, HOMELESSNESS AND CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR
HOMELESSNESS AND MENTAL ILLNESS
There is madness in the streets.
About a fifth of America’s 1.7 million homeless population suffer from untreated schizophrenia or manic depressive illness. That translates, if you can imagine it, to 385,000 individuals, roughly more than the population of cities such as Dayton, Des Moines, Ft. Lauderdale, Grand Rapids, Providence, Richmond, or Salt Lake City. And of that number, a percentage will wind up in prison.

The facts about homelessness get even worse when you break down the numbers. According to the National Coalition for the Homeless, when you focus in on single adult homeless males, about 16 percent of them suffer from some form of severe and persistent mental illness.
Not surprisingly, mental illness often prolongs homelessness. Approximately 26 percent of homeless adults staying in shelters live with serious mental illness and an estimated 66 percent live with severe mental illness and/or substance use disorders.
Mental-Illness-and-Homelessness1
At any given moment in time, there are many more people with untreated severe psychiatric illnesses living on America’s streets than are receiving care in America’s hospitals. To wit: approximately 90,000 individuals with schizophrenia or manic-depressive illness are in all hospitals receiving treatment for their disease.
Despite the disproportionate number of severely mentally ill people among the homeless population, most experts on the subject do not believe that increases in homelessness are attributable to the release of severely mentally ill people from institutions.
State and city budgets have been drastically cut, leaving the mentally ill, and other less fortunate, literally out in the streets.
Indeed, most patients were released from mental hospitals in the 1950s and 1960s, yet vast increases in homelessness did not occur until the 1980s, when incomes and housing options for those living on the margins began to diminish rapidly. Most homeless persons with mental illness do not need to be institutionalized, but can live in the community with the appropriate supportive housing options. Problem is, many mentally ill homeless people cannot obtain access to supportive housing and/or other treatment services. And state and city budgets have been drastically cut, leaving the mentally ill, and other less fortunate, literally out in the streets. Some of those people turn to crime.
MENTAL ILLNESS AND CRIME
Although prevalence rates vary considerably across studies, there is general agreement among researchers that the number of mentally ill individuals in jail is substantial, and that many of these individuals are arrested for minor crimes, particularly disorderly conduct. There is evidence that a large percentage of jailed individuals may also have been homeless at the time of arrest. The most striking finding was that nearly 21% were classified as homeless when they were arrested and 40 percent said they had been homeless at some time during the past few years. The researchers concluded that homelessness significantly increases the risk of indictment for violent criminal offenses among mentally disordered offenders (MDOs).
Mental-Illness-and-Homelessness2
Problems associated with being homeless are compounded when homeless individuals also have a history of hospitalization for a mental disorder. Homeless persons with a history of prior hospitalization in a mental health facility also had greater involvement in criminal activities than homeless individuals with no such history. In New York City, researchers looked into what type of crimes are committed by the homeless.

HOMELESSNESS AND CRIME
Once incarcerated, even stronger links between mental illness, homelessness and crime were found. Prison inmates who had been homeless (that is, those who reported an episode of homelessness anytime in the year before incarceration) made up 15.3 percent of the U.S. jail population, or 7.5 to 11.3 times the standardized estimate of 1.36 -to 2.03 percent in the general U.S. adult population. Compared to other inmates, those who were homeless were more likely to be currently incarcerated for a property crime, but they were also more likely to have past criminal justice system involvement for both nonviolent and violent offenses, to have mental health and substance abuse problems, to be less educated, and to be unemployed.

Mental-Illness-and-Homelessness3
Criminal behavior appears to serve various functions among the homeless
Homelessness and incarceration appear to increase the risk of each other, and these factors seem to be mediated by mental illness and substance abuse, as well as by disadvantageous socio-demographic characteristics. Criminal behavior appears to serve various functions among the homeless, and the homeless who engaged in illegal behavior can be classified as chronic criminals, supplemental criminals, criminals out of necessity, substance abusers, or the mentally ill. While the homeless as a whole engage in relatively high levels of illegal activity, for many, this is an adaptive response to dealing with severely limited resources.
HEALTH INSURANCE AND THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT
The links between homelessness, mental illness and crime could possibly be broken by the Affordable Care Act. For many of the homeless, it’s the very lack of access to health insurance that leads to a constant struggle to survive. By not having health insurance, people who are homeless often forgo treatment for mental illness, substance use, chronic health conditions, acute care and injuries making it difficult to focus on the goal of finding housing.
Insurance coverage plays a critical role in helping a person who is homeless access those services needed to regain stability
Without health insurance, mental health and medical crises and ongoing related costs can lead a lower-income household down the path to homelessness and in some cases, criminal behavior. The Affordable Care Act could help in providing a safety net of needed services, insurance coverage plays a critical role in helping a person who is homeless access those services needed to regain stability – mental, physical, and residential. Linking people who are homeless to Medicaid – the health insurance program for lower – income Americans – has become an increasingly important federal priority, and might, in the long term, help decrease the number of criminal acts performed by homeless individuals.

A fifth of homeless people have committed "imprisonable offences" to spend a night in the cells and more than a quarter of women rough sleepers took an "unwanted sexual partner" to escape their plight, new research out today shows.
Hidden Homelessness, a survey of more than 400 rough sleepers by Sheffield Hallam University, reveals the desperate steps taken by the homeless to find shelter.
A major homeless charity warns that these trends will become more pronounced as planned government cuts to benefits begin to hit frontline services.
Unwanted sex has become a way out of homelessness for many. One in seven men and 28% of women had spent a night – or longer – with an unwanted sexual partner to "accommodate themselves".
Others have ventured into prostitution, with almost a fifth of women taking up "sex work" because this offered an opportunity to spend the night off the streets.
Crime can play a big part in rough sleepers' lives. Nearly 30% admitted to committing a "minor crime such as shoplifting or anti-social behaviour" in the hope of being taken into custody for the night.
And a fifth of those questioned said they had avoided being given bail or committed "an imprisonable offence with the express purpose of receiving a custodial sentence as a means to resolving their housing problems".
Part of the difficulty, the report identifies, is that people were not getting the help they need and many cannot easily negotiate their way into, for example, a hostel.
The result is a "hidden homelessness" where people sleep on friends' floors, in squats or on the streets. They also resort to extreme steps to put a roof over their heads.
Crisis, the homeless charity which commissioned the study, described its findings as "shocking". Crisis chief executive Leslie Morphy said it was "desperately sad to see the lengths that people are taking to escape the horrors of homelessness".

She added that the charity expected to help 2,500 homeless people in London and Newcastle this Christmas and called on the government to rethink its strategy of paying back the deficit by cutting spending on the poor.
An impact equality assessment for the Department of Work and Pensions warned that the cuts would lead to "increases in the number of households with rent arrears, eviction and households presenting themselves as homeless".
Morphy said she "feared planned government cuts will lead to many more people struggling to keep their homes during the coming year".
She added: "Crisis wants the government to seriously rethink its plans. Poor, vulnerable and homeless people must not bear the brunt of reducing the deficit – it is a basic issue of social justice."
There has been some alarm over the numbers of rough sleepers since official government statistics released earlier this month showed that homelessness – as assessed by councils – has increased in two consecutive quarters for the first time since 2003.
Despite this, local authorities have been forced to cut back on provision after Whitehall funding was chopped.
Westminster council, which accounts for more than a third of all rough sleepers in London, is planning to cut almost a million pounds in help to homeless people over the next two years.
Karen Buck, Labour's welfare spokeswoman, said the study "painted a depressing picture on the eve of massive negative changes in housing benefit and support which seem certain to damage the lives of the most vulnerable people in the community".
A government spokesman said that ministers had put aside £400m over the next four years to help the homeless and the coalition's social housing reforms would allow councils to respond to local needs. He added that there would be no U-turn over proposed welfare cuts.
"Our reforms will return fairness to a system which is spiralling out of control, where currently some benefit claimants are claiming over £30,000 a year to live in large houses in expensive areas, which ordinary hard-working families cannot afford."
